Lift is here....

Felt like forever but my lift is finally here.
-OME 885 springs
-Bilstien 5100's all around set at 0
-1 1/2 Rear block
-1/4 in Spacer
- Diff drop kit " wish is an aluminum stand off, grade 5 HHB and Nylock which i could of got at work but w/e


So i plan on doing it as soon as i can but ill be doing close to 60+ hours at work all week. So finding time is going to be hard, Ill post pics when I start.
If anyone has opinons or tips when installing theirs please let me know!.
I lifted my 95 tacoma a few years ago and it wasen't that bad, just everything was rusty which was the hard part. My 2013 should be a walk in the park lol. Fingers crossed !

 

Heres a few pics of the truck...
At first i regret buying a black truck, but i love it, when its waxed it looks amazing ....

 

Congrats!!! I'm sure that lift, once installed, will make you smile every time you walk up to your Tacoma.

In my opinion, the Tacoma, like the 4dr Jeep Wranglers, look sooooooooooooo much BETTER after they are lifted and leveled. Once either of those vehicles is lifted, even if its only 2-2.5in.. they look COMPLETELY different and it's for the better.

I've got to quit researching and talking about getting my lift and just get the damn thing ordered. I'm starting to develop "lift" envy and I don't think my Med. Ins. covers that treatment.

 

LOL They must have done a great job of selling the black dbl cabs the last 30 days. Mine looks just like yours except its a TRD OR and the beds a little shorter.

Funny thing is, black is the color I told them I DIDN'T want when I first started looking.

 

DCLB FTW

 

haha I just kept researching the same thing lol. i told myself i was going to wait a year until i would lift it.... yeah that didn't work very well . About a 2 months lol.

And i have to agree, they look so much better, i think b.c there close to a full size truck but dont have the suspension like one

 

Need help installing it? I did mine all on weekdays after work from 5-10. Feels good to put in a 16 hour day lol

 

evanmb31,

I'll take you up on the offer to help and I'll even provide whatever beverage you prefer but I think the commute could be a real bitch for ya and I don't think I could afford gas money....

 

Yes, an extra hand would help big time!.. I want to do it in like 2 weeks, ill deff keep you posted

 

Im in Milford CT, where are you ?

 

Very nice! Looking forward to the pics when it's done and your impression of the new suspension.

 

I will post a lot of pics. Especially before and after height measurements

 

Definitely keep me posted, im in madison, so like a half hour away or less. I bet we could bang it out in one day no problem even with a late start. Weekends are tuff for me, weekend nights are better but we will see when the time comes

 

my 2013 dclb black 4x4 trd sport just turned 1000 miles...looks good...i had one preferenced from gst and got everything i wanted...delivered dec 17th...
so far have transfered most of my accessories off 2008 i totaled...cant put sc back on til flash is ready...had to order new plate bumper...winch will still work...left 5100's on old truck and will have to do same lift u are doing ...will need to decide if 886's are needed with bumper and winch...only had factory springs on 08 with all the front weight and it seemed ok...alittle heavy on the steering but thats what u get with any heavy front end...
