3rd Gen White Tacomas - Post them up!

Front lift: https://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-leveling-lift-kit-744c.html

Rear lift: https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p95/Icon_1.5_Inch_Progressive_Add-a-leaf_-_51100_(PAIR).html

So about $285 for what I have done. ECGS front needle bearing to bushing replacement (not installed yet) as well as the install tools is about $150. And carrier bearing drop and front diff drop are about $60. So total is about $500. Much of which may not be needed. Granted I have a Pro model and the shocks are different. But these parts fit both models. The Pro models are a bit higher in the front, so It will change lift heights a bit. I know there are other factors to check. Such as if you can run into shocks bottoming out with stock bump stops. I have read where some have damaged front shocks from this. From what I have read, it was with "Off-road" models with the shocks that come with it. They are a lot thinner where the body meets the bottom stem that attaches to the A-arm. If you bottom out the shock before the truck engages the bump stops, I could see how this could be an issue. Maybe adjust the bump stop in some way to avoid. Many people forget the importance of properly set bump stops. I am going to be cycling my suspension and check for how things go soon. I was just diagnosed with Vertigo a couple of days after installing the lift and it has kept me a bit out of the action. So I am going to get back into things when I can. I like to do things in stages and see what the actual results are, instead of just taking things off of "word of internet" for granted. There is so much bad information and wrong opinions out there.

 

Awesome thanks a lot. I will look at the parts you used and go from there. I doubt I would be bottoming the shocks out as I’m rarely off of the pavement and at 50 yrs old I just don’t drive like I did when I had my 1990 toyota. Shew the crap that that poor truck went through wasn’t even fair. I ashamed of the way I treated it back then but man it was fun.

Sorry to hear about the vertigo. Hope you feel better soon. My wife had it a few years back and it sucked. She was sick and messed up for a bit but the dr gave her something to slow the bodies reaction to movement and it helped until it was gone.

Keep posting as you make mods to yours and I will do the same.

 

before and after a clean up haha, ive done a few more things to the truck but i dont have great pics like painting the fender flares black and replaced the amber with white raptor lights, and alpharex nova headlights!

Warmer weather is just around the corner, can’t wait for more road trips so I can stare at my truck in different places.
