    Here in Canada the dealerships don't have the part number in their system, you need to order from the states. Best bet is to have it sent to a border town close to you and pick it up. Some people are saying that the kit is backordered now, this is the place I ordered from https://parts.conicellitoyotaofconshohocken.com

    It won’t matter to me anyways since I wasn’t gonna go any higher I liked the leveled look of the pros & It gives u about 1.75” which is perfect

    DCSB 12 slightly lifted Tacoma
    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    I set mine at the 4th notch. Wish I had used the 3rd notch, but only for alignment issues and it’s not worth the hassle to take it all apart.
    I got them from Race Consulting Agency. I don’t believe they’ll assemble them for you, but I could be wrong. Not sure about the shipping to Canada thing, but they had the best price that I could find.
    I’m a rookie at this game, but the extra cost was money well spent IMO.
    They did lift somewhat higher than advertised.

    Pros aren't level, they are nose high.

    I'll save you a trip, Jeff. They look at you like you're from Mars. One even said it doesn't fit "Canadian" trucks. Can anybody tell me what a Canadian Toyota truck is? As usual, none were available up here. Their computer system doesn't even recognize the part number.

    Bought mine from McPhillips & it has not been back there since nor ever will be. Gotta say for a city just shy of a million people, getting parts here sucks. Good thing I maintained my Alberta connections.

    You gotta wonder how much business these guys have lost. I don’t think they care. Oh sure, they send me the service reminders but as far as recalls & service bulletins, not a single one. Yup, that’s real customer service.

    Please post the actual measurements before and after . With the sagging I'm thinking of doing it also. Unless I decide to get a front bumper and possibly winch then upgrade the spring also (more of a wish list)

    yup
    yup
    I need to get on a first name basis with the lead tech :thumbsup: on the donuts. Hey Nick
    That's what we've been waiting for. So 1/4" just with 650 spring. Did the ride get a little stiffer? Excellent post.

    Anyone running 700# coils on 6112s?

    620# springs aren't going to cut it with a plate bumper and winch.

    Thought I saw a few post in here about it.

    Thanks to everyone for your hard work in toying with different clip settings.

    I just installed the regular duty Dakar leaf pack and extended 5125’s and now I’m ready to overhaul the front 5100/stock spring/spacer lift the previous owner did.

    I like the factory rake and I want no less than 2” of front lift so I’m going to go with the 3rd clip setting and see how she does. I’m hoping my 4wd DCSB will sit between 2.0 and 2.5” front lift to pair with my rear Dakar lift. Halfway through reading this thread I was convinced that the 4th clip and maybe a driver side 1/4” spacer would be perfect but as I read more I feel like I saw more accounts of the 3rd clip giving me what I need. Ideally I would like to be right at 2.5” front lift.



    Let me know what y’all think of my plan.


    Current stance with the spacer up front and Dakar + 5125 rear.
