First lift and new tires. Is this ok?

Is this a decent quality lift? A friend of mine did a 2in front 1.5in back with his.

Wanted to get some second opinions on the build quality and ratio selection.


Going to do a 265/70r17 AT tire, haven’t decided which one yet

Double whammy. If there's 2 things people hate here its tacoma beast and lift blocks. Blocks are fine, just remember you get what you pay for. Blocks up front can make your bumpstops useless, and blocks in the rear can give you axle wrap. As long as your not too harsh on the truck like offroading you'll be fine. Just know blocks typically make your ride stiffer.

 

Haha! thanks

would I be better off with spacers then possibly?

 

No.
Do it right.
Bilstein 5100 front at minimum
AAL w/5100 rear at minimum.

 

Blocks and spacers are the same thing. If you're just after looks, you'll be fine, just don't thrash on this setup.

 

What’s the site here that’s popular to order those from? Can’t remember

 

Hell don't even go off road or hit a speed bump with that garbage. Stay in the mall.

There is a bunch.
Headstrong
Summit Racing
Amazon
And a bunch more. They don't have to be Bilstein but they have to be equivalent to the 5100s at a minimum.
Could be any other manufacture and there's plenty of guys on here that know more about those others than I do ie: Icon, Eibach, OME,Fox etc.
I only go Bilstein because that's what I use.

Bilstein stuff is kinda scarce right now, check shockwarehouse.com The Icon aal's you can get at Icon's website

You could read this stuff it'll get you started. Then ask away after you gain the knowledge of where your interest is. Good luck

 

Thanks

 

I went Eibach Pro-Truck 2.0. They have a 1.0 which is similar in style to Bilstein. There is nothing wrong with running a block in the rear but I wouldn't go more than an 1". It will not make the suspension harsher. I am running a 1 inch in the rear. I would stay away from the eventual sag AAL systems. I am not a fan. To go more than 1" in the rear go with a complete spring pack. More expensive but definitely the right way to do it.

Also running Toyo Open Country AT III 265/70R17's...

 

2in in front?

 

1.8" measured after alignment.

 

Could I just go with Bora or Spidertrax spacers?

 

Those blocks or pucks or spacers whatever you wanna call them can hurt the shock if you hit a pot hole or somehow tuck the tire. If you do a spacer you should also add a bump stop spacer or new longer bump stop. The pictures of shocks that bent or broke the small shaft is because of this.
