2003 Taco - Need suspension for Oil Field

If you're talking Raptor money, you can completely redo the suspension and make it ride like a dream for a LOT less than a Raptor.

 

ill go source a tire gauge.. someone will have one out here.. ill update this with my tire pressure and go from there.

 

True, like i said i swap trucks frequently i never would of bought this toyota if i wasnt forced to.. Its a long story to make it all make sense but i had no other choice.

I like the truck i do.. and i would rather have it then a 800$ truck payment and a vehicle im scared to get dirty don't get me wrong.. but if i cant get it riding smoother its time for something fullsize with a little more room and the raptors are pretty bad..

regardless, i appreciate all your guys help..

 

Go with icon suspension if you want a good ride for oil field work

 

found a tire gauge.. Looking like 35PSI tire max is 80PSI.. should i alter it at all?

Here at 6pm i will go mess with the front shock adjuster and see if it smooths anything out.

 

Thats a good pressure I'd leave it there

 

perfect thank you!

 

another slight update on the body lift.. it does in fact have all the pucks around the cabin/bed.. not sure what the welded piece is all about..

 

^^ this! Icon, faster speed = smoother ride

 

read op

 

Icon coilovers are like 600 on toytecs website plus rear shocks are 500 so it is only like 1100 for suspension

 

$1500 Thats alot of money for what he is looking for, but still a good option

 

Definitely cheaper than the long travel route....

 

And then after you decide on the new suspension, get that raggedy ass body lift removed and I am sure your Tacoma will feel 100% better.

 

Keep reading, one of the options thrown out there was a Raptor... Icons seem cheap in comparison.

 

Oh yeah and raptor route too

 

35 seems high to me. I thought stock was 26 front, 29 rear? I ride 25 all the way around but I'm sitting on 285/75s and haul nothing but ass.

 

38 is fine for my 06 and I haul ass

 

He's got a 1st Gen. Lighter truck.

And, yeah, the rear end is giddy as hell unless there is weight in the back.

I'd highly recommend an OME suspension and trying a lower tire pressure. Check the door jamb for the sticker that lists the stock pressures. Start there and drop for comfort.

 

Thanks for the reply.. i will give different pressures a try. and look into the OME suspension
