2017 Tacoma 2x4 suspension

Hi RonTaco here.. new member want to upgrade my suspension.. any ideas thanks.

 

Welcome to TW RonTaco

 

Why do you want to upgrade the suspension?
Are you towing?
Are you not satisfied with ride quality?
Or are you looking for a lift?

These questions will us, as to what suspension to recommend.

 

Hi all, Bluelinetaco chiming in, I'm new here too! I have a 2017 TRD OFF Road 2x4 as well. Looking for a mild lift to tuck some slightly bigger treads under it (17x9, hopefully on 275/70/17).

I've been doing some HW and here is what I have come up with and not bust the bank. Thoughts, advice? All is welcome, but please be constructive in your post. @RonTaco hopefully you can grab some input from this too! Thanks!

5100's up front for 1.5-2" lift
1 or 1.5" rear blocks
5125's in rear
Do I need a 2 degree axle shim? Do I need a CB drop? I don't want any driveline shake.

I want to keep about 1-1.5" of rake, I tow a 22' ski boat and need it. Also, not a fan of the "bro lean."

I'm not an offroader, just dirt trails, some beach sand, and a lot of city/freeway driving.

I know a lot of people will advise against the blocks, but I really don't want a stiffer rear end ride of an AAL, and with an 8 and 9 yr old and new home in Cali, I don't have the additional $$$ for them.

My suspension is a little bit rough. Just want a smoother ride... it’s been lifted seens I bought my truck and I’m not using for towing

 

Looking for something like this?

 

Haha. That’s ridiculous. If you really needed something temporary, wouldn’t angle iron have worked better? Lol.

 

Welcome to TW! Hide your wallet . Reach out to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she’ll set you up.

 

I'm hoping that was a field repair with whatever they had on hand lol.

 

WTF? Why didn't they use pressure treated?

 

Welcome to TW @RonTaco !! Feel free to PM me if you need assistance picking out a lift. 2WD's have options, like lift spindles, that the 4x4's don't so there are a lot of option out there for you.

@ENZO99 thank you for the recommendation, we truly appreciate it!

 

So you are saying it currently has a lift?


If so, can you find out how it was lifted. That would help.
Pictures of your front suspension would help too.
