let go ahead and install it, if it doesnt need it ill get some money back.

 

mine didn't come with any trim packer and it sits fine now but that was after i put the 886s on the front with the bumper...it had a forward lean (front lower than rear) when i had the 885s on it

 

damn my truck has come a long way

 

i was just thinking that......looks totally different now

 

So bob, your running 886's with no trim packers and it sits level?
I'm still working on my spring issues. As a backup plan I may just spend the $$ and go with an OME setup in front. Hope it does not come to that much $$$

 

should be less than $500, 299 for shocks and 169 for springs....not sure what else you would need

 

A bank Loan. I iz Broke

 

I also have the 886 with no trim packer and the ARB bumper still sitting pretty level

 

bob, or anyone who is running stock UCAs, what did your allignments look like when you were all finished?

 

just went out to measure and back is ~1" more clearance from top of tire to bottom of flare


now i want another inch up front...didn't think it was that far off...it doesn't look that far off at least...

 

dk for sure but everyone who aligns my truck always are cursing saying, these damn tacomas are so f'in hard to align...stock uca's with a lift maybe the reason...guess the aftermarket uca's supposed to help that...i'm putting so much $$ into this thing already this summer, new uca's are out of the question

 

so i got my urd maf sensor calibrator in monday afternoon...didn't notice a huge hp difference but my mpg is improving...above 3k rpm is where i notice the hp gain kick in...

and also from this install, i realized that my soldering skills SUCK! haha...luckily jace helped me with the cb install and gave me some tips that helped me get through the maf install but i have a long way to go! big problem was i couldnt keep my soldering gun lit properly...damn berzomatics!

 

Yeah, looks a little low. I think I want the trim packers if I have to do a new setup.

 

how much of a hassle do you think it would be to level my shit out? are these packers different than spacers?

 

shouldn't be bad. The Toytec trim packers just go on top of the top plate and the whole assembly goes back in. The process is basically like swapping out coilovers. I had a trim packer on one of the lifts I had to level things out and was able to use the stock 3 top plate bolts without issue.

 

on toytecs website it looks like a small spacer, i think its only 1/4 inch for the drivers side

 

trim packer doesn't seem to be what i'm looking for...

"Trim packers are used to lift the vehicle up by 5mm in the front to compensate for drivers side lean.
Works with Old Man Emu front Toyota shocks only"

 

you can put the trip packer on top of any coilover top plate to get rid of the lean. I believe at least. I hat one on top of my older skyjacker struts

 

Yea man get a Wed or Thurs off haha
