EITHER/OR?

2022 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 DCLB Lunar Rock....

For those who know know more than I do....

My truck is a daily driver, in Texas, that I want to put a lift with wheels and larger tires....

My question is, would I be better served with:
a) Alldogs Offroad complete lift with springs, AAL, Bilstein 5100's, and Apache Offroad UCAs?
-or-
b) Ironman Offroad Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 medium duty lift?

I am down to one of these 2. Price isn't the concern because they are both really close in price. I'm sure the Bilstein shocks are better. But, not sure which would be best overall.

Thanks in advance. -J

 

If you’ve not made a decision yet reach out to Colton @memario1214 about a 5100 kit or a 6110 kit. The 5160s are probably more comparable to the IronMan FCP than the 5100 are.

I have the IM and while I’ve have no issues with them, they’re a little too stiff but if I had more weight they’d probably be better. Don’t get me wrong, they have been great mc just a little too stiff and I’d like something with adjusters.

edited to say 6110 not 5160 since it’s the fronts.

 

I had to go look both of those up.

And for both, I think you're wasting money with buying UCAs.

For an off the shelf, daily driven kit, I can't recommend enough keeping your lift at 2 inches and running a <32 inch tire.

For quite a bit less than what you budgeted, I'm running Billstein 6100/5160s with an icon leaf pack. I'm currently set at a very conservative 1.25" lift all around, and am on 32 tires (255/75r17).

The truck gets a lot of complements, it's capable, and I didn't ruin it's highway commuting performance.





That's what I would do. Ditch the arms and get into a slightly higher tier shock.

 

I may have changed my budget.

I rode in a Tacoma with the OME MT64 system. I really like it.

I am going to find a way to afford this....

 

With a 2" lift, I wouldn't bother with UCA's either. Bilstein 5100's for the Win. Bigger better shock, and you can keep the stock springs (as recommended).

Keep it close to stock as possible.

 

I have the MT64s with just an add a leaf in the back. Love them. No UCAs and it aligned perfectly. ~1.5" lift front and back

 

Buy once cry once.

 

I did, fox elite 2.5's. They're still in the boxes. Wish I would have bought kings just for the blue color.

 

I wanted kings and they were the same price but king changed the tundra shock specs and they were less travel so I got the same fox as you, deaver leafs and accutine uca's.

A while before that I went 255/85/16 e-rated which made a huge difference in ground clearance, capability, handling and mpg
