A True 3"s ?

please go to page 3... thanks

 

wont be a full three inches... doesn't it say on like wheelers?

yeah its gonna be <2in

 

ya it says for the 881 c/o s it give you 1.75-2" but it doesnt say for 882.... but i've herd that people have put on the 881 c/o's and got a full 3"

 

thats what i have and it lifts what it says on the site <2in.

 

I'd say this is somewhat of a YMMV, depending on how shot your old springs are. When I upgraded my stock TRD springs to 881s, I got almost 2.5" of lift. (See http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/gr...rs-5-leafspring-group-buy-19.html#post3184888 for specific before/after measurements.)

 

so i should add that 1/2" spacer if i want as close as possible to 3" lift

 

Good point it would depend on how much you were saggin...
when I put them in with no lift in the rear it sits perfectly level.

 

so what did you guys do in the rear?

 

Im gonna get icons 3 leaf progressive aal

 

I went with a Wheelers/Alcan 5-leaf pack ( ). IMO, a great match for the 881s in the front. My truck now sits roughly level, and I love the ride/handling. Highly recommended.

 

ya im thinking of going with a full leaf packs and nitro charger shocks. what size tires are you running??? ^^^

 

I paired mine with Bilstein 5100 shocks all the way around. Opinions vary on whether to do this, or go with the Nitrochargers.

I'm on stock rims with 265/70R16 BFG A/T KOs, which I installed before the lift. I will likely upsize a little (i.e., 265/75R16s) when I replace these.

 

so how does this sound...

ome package (from wheelers) with 882's

LR UCA's

32x11.5x15 BFG Mud KM 2's

some kind of front tube bumper ( i like trailgear and alpro's) then insert some diamond plating or other sheat metal in a few spots. kinda half plate and half tube bumper


trailgears rear tube bumper


either trailgears or alpro's rock sliders

tire gate (pre runner style)


rhino lined bed and rocker panels( the last 6" of the panels)

 

so i was thinking that i could save a little money by getting AAL instead of new leafs packs but dont AAL suck?

 

aal is add a leaf

 

This is a good option, IF your leafs aren't shot, for which our trucks are somewhat notorious. If your leafs are shot, an AAL will help, but not for long. Since they're not designed to do the entire leaf pack's job, they'll end up flattening prematurely, at which point you're right back to replacing the leafs themselves...

 

how about procomp? i have the complete 3 inch system with light racing uca's and the all pro ubolt flip kit with timbren bumps i really like it a lot! its bouncy but i would not call it stiff if that makes sense but i did remove my sway bar before the install i believe it smoothed things out big time in the front.

 

they do make the ride stiffer

 

does pro comp even make a 1st gen 3" lift?

 

so is wheelers the best place (cheapest) to buy ome lift kit trom?
