    Me being new to the truck world, Ive drove a car for the last 5 years. I really need to know what other suspension mods I need to put on my 07 Tacoma. I currently have a 3 inch Ultimate toytech lift on it. I need some infor on what kind of mods etc. I could do to help me out on ride and flex when going through some pretty intense stuff. Keep in mind I DO LIVE in alabama lol. Also any other mods performance or look wise would be of hel

    pulling off my (anti) swaybar seems to have helped me. if that toytech lift gave you any more travel than stock, (im not sure of that setup) this would help you take advantage of it. for a more true ifs

    Got rear suspension?
    Perhaps upper control arms?
    Better leaf pack?
    Skids and other armor would come in handy.

    I have been looking for UCA's seeing as the toytec suspension does not come with any. It did come with Bilstein 5100s for the rear though. I also got an add a leaf with the kit as well. Any recommendations on what brands. I use ebay a lot but I NEVER buy the off name brand stuff. I try to stick with stuff I have heard of before. I also have the stock step bars that come with the truck which I actually kinda like. Ive been looking into some bumpers but there are SO MANY its hard to choose lol

    GPS Navigation System, Old Man Emu complete lift with Dakar springs. Light Racing UCA's. BFG AT tires, KMC Enduro rims, Allpro E-locker guard. ARB Portable Air Compressor CKMP12. Backflip Tonneau Cover. Wet Okole seat covers.
    If you plan on doing some intense stuff, I would suggest getting some protection like skids and sliders. Good luck and looking forward to your build. Cheers.
