Got lift all on today after graveyard shift!!

dobinsons 314s medium rate springs on 5100 bilsteins zero clip, 1/4 spacer driver side and jba ucas. Also did the bushing swap. And surprisingly that was a breeze to pull and put bushing in with no gear oil loss. Rear is dobinsons medium leaf pack with bilsteins with the cb drop. Ran on highway up to 75 with no vibes that i could tell and i am also going to put on firestone bags with daystar cups but lost time to do it today. I sould have measured before i lifted but i worked graveyard and did it when i got off and forgot. But it raised up decently good. Tires are ko2s 265/75/16 on motos 8” wide zero offset.
The wife is estatic shes not tripping over taco hallway parts boxes now. Lol

 

Looks great! Get some more shots up when yah can

 

So why did you go with the Dobinson springs and Bilstein shocks?

 

Awesome! I love the colors.

 

Because thats what i wanted is the really only reason.

 

Darn good job,looks very nice.

 

Just an update. Aligned truck and decided after a little driving i wanted a tad less rake so i pulled coils and bumped to second notch on billys today that takes front close to 3” or just a tad over. Im sure they will settle well in a few weeks. i used a spring compressor kit i got from Amazon. Very safe feeling using it and compressed coils with ease. Had them out and back in in about 2 hrs. I wrote a review on compressor kit in the review section https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/spring-compressor-best-ive-used-safe-feeling.602641/
Time to align again tomorrow.

 

I don’t see how it’s possible you didn’t loose some of your front diff fluid pulling out the CV and the bearing...it’s a wide open hole

 

I jacked the truck up on only driver side with tire on pass side and put 6 ton jacks on one side. Didnt lose fluid. I assure you

 

Honestly, you should drive it around for a couple weeks to let the springs settle before an alignment. You're probably going to have to get it done again once you see tire wear.

 

Its all good i got unlimited alignments for 2 years so im opting to save tires plus i drive 40 miles one way to work

 

Ahhh. Was angled huh

 

Very angled

 

What was the total cost?

 

With new leaf packs, springs,2 sets shocks, ucas, ecgs bushing, carrier drop, 3 degree shims, airbags with daystar cups. Close to pushing 2k in lift components. Also have trd pro skid pan, avid bumper bars, nfab steps, prinsu rack(ordered and waiting) shell with thule racks and arb awning, and coverking seat covers, led bulb replacements, moto wheels with ko2s....My pockets are hanging inside out right now. Lol

 

Added the pro skid this morning. Much nicer!
