Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Thanks, but I do have skids, sliders, steel front winch mount and a steel rear bumper. I’m not sure the 314 will be enough. What say you?

 

Ah, forgot you got a front bumper. I ran the 314 for a while with all my stuff, it was fine but it was also adjusted to the max to get 2.5" lift. The 352 would be a better fit which I did end up swapping to.

 

Thx, btw, I was thinking of going IMS based upon reviews from other guys in this group. And it’s a bunch more cheaper!

 

Yeah but, you did say blow through a couple grand. So that = MRAs lol

 

True, but even the IMS setup is $2500 delivered!

 

IMS are plenty gooder. I'm sure the 352 coils will work for you. I looked back through my emails and found the invoice on my order, and that's what I bought.

You can save a bit more by doing the assembly yourself. Adam and I have spring compressors...he has the nice one. It takes less than an hour to do both.

 

I guess prices gone up since I bought my MRA kit in 2020...

 

That’s a lifetime ago!

 

Right, doesn't feel like it's been that long. Regardless you'll be happy with the purchase.

 

Next I’ll be needing a flatbed and portals…. Wifey will just LOVE that!

 

just do it all at once then she'll only be mad one time!

 

The most powerful force in the ‘verse is an angry, tiny Asian woman! I must be careful.

 

So other than the springs and shocks, what else is needed? They have more potential add-ons than a car dealership! How many of those are necessary?

 

Bigger tyres, which means you'll have to fix that switch on the dash.

 

That’s part of the plan too but I meant things like bumb stops, u-bolt flip, uca, strut top caps…

 

better get all of them to be safe

 

This

 

Spend the money and have them build the fronts. Just tell them the weight your carrying and how much lift yobolts.
When you open that box and see 2 fully assembled coilovers you will fell like a kid at Christmas
U Bolts,,,Yes
Flip kit,,,that's your choice
Leaf springs bushings,,yes
Bump stops,,,yes
UCA,,, your choice.
If you get UCA, get new long bolts. Just in case you have to cut one off. Every truck is slightly different. On my truck I cut the passenger side.
An angle grinder with a cut off wheel works real good for removing ubolts.

 

This is a @Crikeymike question

Also

Get UCAs.

And do the U Bolt flip.

And get better bump stops.

The thing about suspension is it's never just the shocks. You need all of the supporting hardware as well to make it actually work properly.

 

@Pixeltim the guys in this group will have you over $5k in no time.
