Lift issues

Just curious, what are your post lift alignment numbers?

 

Vibration when slowing down between 30-10 or so. Otherwise it was smooth in all driving conditions.

 

You can go a number of different ways in regards to lifting your truck. I agree with others that the spacer lift route can be a headache albeit much more inexpensive than a suspension lift.

Tons of great options out there in regard to suspensions lifts. As another member mentioned Ironman 4x4 has a solid product offering. I am only mentioning this as they still have a 25% off labor day sale going. The stage two lift below includes UCA's which will help create space between the tire & the control arm itself, pushes the tire forward in the wheel well away from the cab mount, as well as creating a beneficial environment when it comes to your castor/camber angles when aligning your truck via the lower cams.. A solid alignment should certainly help with the on/offroad manners of the truck at speed. Other UCA's such as Camburg, SPC, Total Chaos, Accutune, JBA, etc. can help get your lift to play nice with your lower control arms and adjusting for alignment alongside creating optimal "space" to fit big tires without too much cutting/trimming/Big effin' hammer under full squish.

Also - as mentioned above correcting pinion angle / diff angle etc. can help with vibration woes.

Tinkerer's Adventure has some great videos which go in depth as to how the IFS set up in front works alongside how your UCAs stock and aftermarket work.

As others mentioned when going up and adding rotational weight it tends to magnify characteristics of the truck we would otherwise not notice stock.

 

I went with Eibach, I don't do any heavy duty off-roading or wheeling so may not fit your needs.

Great info buddy. Thank you

 

You put junk on your Tacoma. Congrats!

 

Shocking that a shop would install that junk of a lift, but I guess not.

 

You seem cool af

 

Thanks for all of this info buddy. I appreciate it

 

What kind of lift do you have?

 

regardless on how you lifted it 3 inches. the Truck should still drive without issue. Ride quality may suffer a bit the truck shouldn't have shake issues.

Don't feel bad about the spacer lift. There are guys on this forum that max out their credit cards on 6k suspension so they can flex at the mall. These same people will try and make you feel bad about rocking a spacer lift.

 

Bilstein 5100's.

 

Ditch the spacer lift, do some real research, and start over. Good luck with your truck.

 

Yeah man it’s super weird when you ask for some options on how to fix a problem and dudes try and call you out. Like I like a Tacoma. It’s a good truck. But I’m not getting baby boners off making fun of someone who asked a question about a Tacoma. Oh and they pee siting

 

Yeah I’m think I need the shim as well

 

ECGS Clamshell bushing could solve the vibration issue. I believe it was posted earlier, but you can confirm this by engaging 4WD Hi - If the vibration goes away then its your needle bearing.
