Lifted 1st gens let's see em

My '04. Billstein 5100 with OME 881 on the lowest clip, Wheeler's 3 leaf pack in the rear. 115k on the springs. 235/85-16 KO2's on 5 stars. No rubbing or problems with the CV's. No spacers. The previous set of 265/75 did rub. The truck's loaded up in this picture: 10 day surf trip down South.

 

Been running bilstein coil over lifts for years and overall have been happy with them for the $. Is there a lift out there that anyones running that is super soft and comfortable off road?

 

Mine is a 2003 with 318,562 miles. Just went through the entire undercarriage. This truck was destin to be parted out because of both frame rails were rusted and passenger side was broke. Ive always wanted this exact truck to do exactly what the picture is, it took 10 months to complete. Happy to say she's a joy to drive and gets alot of thumbs up.

I have 3 Tacoma's, 2 first Gens and 1 2nd Gen.......love my trucks !

 

Rear studs in the front hubs?

 

Yes. If you have aftermarket wheels or run any sort of spacer you’d be glad you had them. They have a longer shoulder but it is covered up by wheel/spacer especially with the common acorn style nuts.

 

Do you end up unbolting the hub for space to install?

 

What top is that?

 

Flippac

 

Sad they went out of business and he got sick!

 

It’s like Christmas in my foyer! 173k on this suspension!

 

What’s in the Whiteline bag? Keep an eye on those Moog dust caps because they like to crack after a few years and the grease zerk plugs will vibrate loose if not tightened good.

How’s it ride?
So hear me out..

I got 5100 which i plan to use my old coils on middle notch. For a level..

but I’m throwing an idea of adding this icon in the back so I can get some rake. What are your thoughts? Thanks

 

id go ahead and get new front springs personally. it just rides so nice now, i dont think id ever run the stock spring up high on the perch.
