    Question for all the experts in this thread.
    First, sorry if this has been answered, but in full transparency, I did not read all 88 pages.

    I have a 2014 TRD OR 4x4 with a 3" Toytec lift, Procomp UCA, RCD/Bilstein 5100 Shocks (on the lowest setting), and I think the rear has an AAL
    The wheels are 16x8 - I want to put on bigger wheels and tires. For this I am trying to figure out if I need to do it first - from what I did read in this thread it seems that 16's will not fit, but confirmation would be great.
    ---It was all on the truck when I purchased it earlier this year.

    I want to go up to at least 4", but not quite 6" so it seems that the RCD lift would be the ideal height.

    Would I need to buy a whole new RCD lift kit, or are there a few parts I can get to use with some of the parts I already have?

    I appreciate any insight on this!

    I have a 2017 4x4 OR with a bracket lift and I want to use the extended Bilstein 5100 front and rear for my truck but this set of shocks says 2005-2015 Tacoma.... Why would they not work?

    Will those 5100s for the front work on a 2016+ model truck?

    Anyone running 35's with the RCD 4.5-5" kit on a 2005-2012? What else did you have to do to make them fit?
    Also anyone running upgraded UCA's with this kit? If so why did you decide to do this, trying to figure out if there's any point to upgrading them with this lift.

    I am running the RCD lift with 33.5's and so far I only notice a little bit of rub in the front bumper at full lock. Wondering if I would only need bumper trimming and/or cab mount chop.

    Thanks!

    I'm leaning towards 35' also but I think I can fit them with the upgrades I made to the suspension.

    Looks sick! I have a 2005, I should have mentioned that. It's good to know though for the 3rd gen. peeps.

    Yeah I took a chance and ordered the set of shocks even though they were for 05-15 models. They worked perfectly though. The C59-300 is a 1" lift spring to help compensate for the added weight of the bumper and wench.

    Here are some before and after photos for those that are curious. The strut spacer was 4" and the rear blocks were 4" and neither was a fun ride.

    Anyone upgrade the UCA's on this lift? I got a truck off a guy a couple years ago that had a RCD 4.5 - 5" (set to 5") lift. He told me he put a bigger spring to make it a 6" lift. I'm kind of new to lifts and all that so I really don't understand how adding a bigger spring can lift the truck higher when the shocks have a preset length. Anyone mind telling me how this works? Also I can't see what type of shocks are on it or the spring either because he sprayed everything but I am assuming the bilsteins that came with it, set to the max level.

    The question with upgrading the UCA's arose from my mechanic saying that at max flex, the UCA catches on the shock spring so he recommended switching them out. Any suggestions?
