Lifted '16 Tacomas

Beautiful Mississippi day, time for a bath

 

Does it go away if you put it into 4-hi?

 

just realized you said passenger side. the short answer is no. needle bearing is only on driver side.

Find a straight smooth road where you can feel the vibe and do this. ^^^ If vibe goes away, it's needle bearing. If not, well crap... good luck.

 

Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words

 

Tip:

Withe the new bushing above, be sure to also order a new seal and
85w140 Non-Synthetic Lucas differential oil with your new bushing.

What tires and lift you got?

 

New here. Has anyone managed to fit 285/75r16 on their 3rd gen without rubbing? I have a 3/1 leveling kit. I heard the offset on the wheel is what will make the difference. I plan on using a +0 offset wheel. Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

Yes, the offset of the wheel will definitely come into play. So will the backspacing, the width of the wheel, and the width of the tire. Not all 285's are created equally.

If you are looking at a 16" wheel, then 0 offset and 4.5" of backspacing on an 8" wheel will help, but then also take into consideration of the actual tire that you will be wanting to run.

For example: A Nitto Trail Grappler



Cooper ST Maxx



Cooper ST Pro



BFG KO 2



Falken Wildpeak A/T3W



Just some examples of how the same "size" tires are actually different.

 

Did you do coils?

 

How’s the ride? Any vibes or rub??

 

Ok so this is where I'm at. Bilstein 5100, ome 887 coils. That will give me 2" not 3" correct?
Tires will be 265/70/18 general Grabber ATX's

Anyone see any concerns??

 

Where can I find this build? Or one similar

 

Any more pix of the wheels? I'm wanting to run this wheel setup!

 

With all these ECGS posts, I'm just going to have the shop install it when doing the lift. Not worth having to go back and pay again.

 

Is there anyone on this forum running the Falcon Shocks? I'm moving from a 4dr Sahara JK w/ an OME system and 33's. Some guys in the Jeep forums are raving about the Falcon. If anyone has any info. I would be greatly appreciated. If I went with the Falcons would I need UCA's, different coils and AAL? I'm only looking at 265/75/70's or 270/75/17. Do you see anything wrong wit this set-up? The more I read in the forums, the more consumed I get. I don't want have start changing the angle of the driveshaft or thing like that. I guess you could say want a simple plug and play system. Thnx for the help in advance

 

So, I put a 3-2 leveling kit and 265/75r16 on about 2 weeks ago. I could look at my truck and tell that the camber was off. I set an appointment for an alignment. In the meantime I figured I would use the string and level method for a home alignment. Everything measured and looked good after an hour of twerking, drove a nice straight line, looked great, etc. Just got back from the dealer, before sheet I had my camber at dead 0 and toe was within spec. Caster was off but is expected with factory control arms. The after alignment at the dealer put my camber back at 1.1 and tweaked the toe just a hair, and they couldn't get caster either....big surprise. Do you guys think I should put my caster back at 0?
