Suspension Advice?

I’m trying! Honestly I haven’t been very active in terms of posting on the site since I bought the truck, just lurking, reading forums and learning. I guess I’ll just stick to that lol

 

Don't do that, be involved! There's plenty of negative people on here who love to give people are hard time or be a smartass, but there's even more that love helping others and being there as a fellow Taco enthusiast. Ignore the naysayers and do what makes you happy.

The Eibach lift thread - many happy campers, good price, great quality components.

 

5100’s sounds like they’ll be a great solution for you. If you haven’t already, I’d spend a lot of time reading threads in the “Suspension” sub-forum or even the “3rd Gen Build Threads”

you’ll find better information there than asking in this thread. You’ll mostly get useless responses or people telling you to “leave your truck alone”

Just remember, it’s your truck and most importantly, your money

 

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate you actually trying to help me out and finding a thread too! I guess I have a couple options to look at, can’t wait to get started on this build!

 

Welcome OP. You could do 5100’s or 6112’s or Eibach is a great kit. Good luck. Imo can’t go wrong with either of these kits. I have 5100’s all round 2” front lift / rear aal 1.5”. Spc upper control arms for a dialed in alignment. Would t change a thing.

 

You hit it right on the nose! Thanks for the help, I don’t usually post on here but now I know what not to do!

 

Mine is similar with 5100's, 884 lift coils, and 1.5" AAL's. The lift is modest and perfect for the tire size i'm running. 265/70/17

 

Have fun with the build keep us posted on what your going with and pics would be sick. It’s exciting to mod a truck

 

Ive done little reading in the suspension threads, does aal mean add a leaf?

 

Awesome bro. I’m running 265/75/16

 

Yes

 

I’ll try to if I remember lol, still have to finish military training before I can get home and start modding!

 

Thanks for your service. You have any questions feel free to ask I’ll try to help out as much as I can.

 

No, thank you for your support! Thankfully a few fellow taco enthusiasts have sent me direct messages and they’ve been very helpful and informative!

 

I was like you...lurked on the site since I bought my truck in 2016. I was able to do most of the suspension mods myself so I save on costs there. A lot of good people here learn from so ask lots of questions. The reason I finally signed up was for the vftune help.

 

Definitely looking forward to learning a lot from this site and modding! I was never a car guy but this truck is my baby, proud mallcrawler

 

Factory height is one thing...aftermarket lifts can be another....thats where grey areas develop.

 

I may or may not have convinced someone to install these for me this weekend

 

I understand where you are coming from, I just want to level and maybe slightly lift the truck, no more than 3/4 of an inch. I honestly don’t think it will slip a joint over that for daily driving.
