    I have been looking all over tacomaworld but I can't seem to find how much travel I can get with jba ucas and some king 2.5s. The options that I've seen talked about are 6", 8", and 10". What length should I get with the jbas? Thanks for the help

    A standard extended length coilover is what you will want. Anything longer than that, you will need to look into a Long Travel Kit. Extended length Fox coilovers have about 4.890" of travel. Since there is a motion ratio on the control arm, you are getting about 9" of tire travel.

    A little bit of this, a little bit of that...
    Is this recommendation standard with any 05+ Tacoma with JBA UCAs for the weekend warrior or will you need a more in-depth analysis to recommend a suspension?

    Aftermarket upper control arms allow more droop, and better alignment. You will need those if you are lifting the truck more than 2", or plan on really using the truck off-road often. After that, you are still limited by other components including shock length options. Mid travel kits are pretty straight forward.
