Tacoma Lift FAQ/Guide - READ THIS

Throw in the AAL now, or find some 5 lug springs with lift built in (as suggested above). Save up for the leaf pack and sell off the old stuff when you upgrade.

 

well the item ive ordered doesnt come with the aal it comes with blocks... so im thinking about buying the dakar leaf pack... would that be the thing to do also found ome coilovers for 300.00 with 10,000 miles put on them... is that a good buy to relpace the front pro comps nd just return the package to the company?

 

Better products if you've got the dough. Return the bullshit (procomp). OME struts for 300 and 10k, fair price (250 if you consider they could have beaten on them). Make sure the OME coil is the right one... For gen 2 taco 885 no front armor, 886 with front armor.

 

Its the 885s

 

885s are the ones for you, so long as you don't plan on adding any armor (front bumper, heavy skid, etc). Those will get you about 2-2.25" inches of lift. If you want a little more lift down the road the 1/4" spacers are cheap and easy to install. The Dakars will get you around 2.75".

You'll be really happy with the OME setup. You may have to get the sway bar relocation kit (if the sway rubs the strut, a lot of us don't even run a sway bar). You should order the carrier bearing drop and the axle shims as well and keep them on hand if you develop any vibes. Some do, some don't. All said and done you'll be saving a few hundred bucks, and you'll have the best all round lift.

 

Make sure those used 885's are the 885x coils

 

I missed you If he can get those struts for 250-300, it's not a bad deal even if they are the older 885. Spacers are cheap.

 

i checked the tag on the item ive read on this topic that everyone said the 885x are the new ones and are better and the item has the x... thanks for the heads up

That is a lot for shipping. I got my whole OME kit with dakars and new UCAs and other small random parts shipped from Oregon to Texas for $169.

toytech's website's cheapest estimated shipping to NJ is $110.

 

I won! lol I think Wheeler's shipping will be almost as high as TRDparts4u, but he can try either one.

 

yep i just placed my order with toyotec but the bummer is that the dakar leaf spring kit is on a nation wide back order and they wont be coming to the us until june 22 and then have to be shipped to toyotec in denver and then too me... but i will be receiving all the other parts sooner even thou i wont be able to do anything without the leaf pack

 

That's only 2 days from now! lol Not much of a back-order.

 

well after high school... everythings pretty much been a blur hahah im lucky i remember how old i am !! lmaoo

 

Kids, drugs are bad, mmmmkaaaaayyyy!

 

Wait, I thought the 884's were for no added weight and 2-2.25" of lift.
