Help needed with lift kit 2015 Tacoma pre runner

Everything on that suspension is under stress right now- look at the ball joint angles (someone already pointed out the brake lines)

 

Spacers freaking rock, who cares about suspension and steering geometry. Stack em up an go bomb that with no fear.

 

Have you guys checked Camber and Alignment yet? It looks like only one Cam Bolt is maxed out and the others are sucked in. IDK but isn't your upper control arm adjustable too? You can easily do it in the driveway with simple hand tools like string, tape measure and a protractor. With a 3" lift you only have .75 of downward travel and the ride is going to rough no matter what.

4" Spindles would help but you will also need new springs and longer struts otherwise the struts will always be bottomed out.

There is a guy on YouTube called Tinkers Adventure. I haven't seen anyone explain it better to me. You guys should watch part 1 and 2 and you will understand what is limiting you.

Those aren’t oe coilovers.

 

Stacked spacer lift. Tell me your from Hawaii without telling me your from Hawaii.

 

This is race car shit.

 

What 17 year old doesn’t

 

You should just get a 3inch lift kit from rough country and rebuild the front with a kit from 1Aauto

 

Not blasting the ride, but I was curious about a couple of things. First, how much does the non stock front bumper weigh vs the stock bumper since it's a 2x4 and not a 4x4. Is that why the suspension set up is the way it is? Meaning... is it also compensating for the extra weight... and what were the size of the wheels and tires? Not trying to ignore what was previously pointed out or piling on.... but the spindles sound like the most economical solution thus far with what is shown, ...again my question is if the front end weight is different due to the non stock bumper could the wheel and tire size also be throwing the camber and balance off too?

 

a block is not suspension.

HD bumper springs are $200.

when you lift the shit out of an IFS Tacoma it results in positive camber and maxed out alignment cams, among other things.

just like how lowering a car usually puts negative camber.

 

Those were the coilers on it when we bough the truck. Maybe not what came from the factory but I would assume the same size.

The front Bumper does weigh more than a stock bumper but this is not a real thick metal bumper. It was what he could afford and the look he was going for. Listing says it weighs 75lbs.

The tires are 35x12.50x22, and yes I know that's huge for a tacoma. Or at least I think it is. I drove it after they were installed and was surprised it didn't bog down and strain when driving. Fuel mileage is not crazy bad either.

Ive ordered the 4" spindles and will update when they are installed. I really appreciate ALL the comments

 

Those are set of 3” lift coils more than likely. The PO stacked a spacer on them to fit the 35s. Youll need to remove the spacer puck at minimum or you’ll still have those horrible uca angles. Keep us posted.

 

Is there any way to fix that. Ill update photos once we get the spindles on and remove the puck

 

people run 35's on stock spindles without spacers

 

Its looking better. Angles are more in line and brake lines have slack. The original pucks have been removed and 4" spindles added. Im not sure what the lift would be classified as. It is a little higher than what it was with the pucks in. New tires on from and front end aligned.

 

Thanks for all of your help! If you see anything else please let me know. He does have full turn on 35x12.50x22 now.

 

See anything else?

you aren’t really done are you?

don’t go driving around like that

 

care to elaborate

 

You dont see a problem with the front of the truck being so high that the headlights will turn oncoming drivers retinas to ash?

I hope the light bar is always on, so the FAA can arrest you after you blind a pilot or two

 

Oh I thought you seen a safety issue not a looks issue. Its not my personal truck i'm concerns with safety. Thanks for your opinion though.
