Lift and 33's

Hello, new to the forum and tacomas. I just got my first truck, a 2005 double cab long bed 4x4. I got with the truck a toytec 3" lift with ebachi coils, bill stein 5100's, spacers for the front shock, and AAL. I also got Light racing UCA's. I ordered new bushings and boots for the UCA's. Also I am going to get some new U-bolts when I get the lift installed. My first question is what is the best setting on the 5100's (most lift but not going to break things or wear things out too fast)? I have a set of 33" terra grapplers to put on once the lift is on. Is there anything else I need to do or look for before or after the lift? Thanks

 

With eibach coils and 5100s go with the first setting.

 

I think it's 0.85 or the second notch from the bottom

 

get ready to trim or even u might need to do the CMC (cab mount chop) so you don't rub. also youll need a sway bar relocation kit.

 

Forgot that the truck has a diff drop already, if that makes a difference

 

I doubt he will need a CMC with ntg's, they are a mild all terrain tire but it's a hit or miss really.

 

The guy who had the truck before me had all of this installed on this truck and took it off to sell it, so I would think that there shouldn't be any issues. I think he has an account on here too.

 

x2. Maybe some plastic trimming but alot depends on tire width and wheel BS.

 

285/70/17 is the size of the tires

 

there will prob need to be some plastic trimming done. CMC is a hit or miss like Large said. but yea diff drop doesn't really do anything. but if he had everything on it before u should be good.

 

3 inch lift with that tire size(33x11) and wheel bs of 4.5" should be just some plastic trimming. I'll be shocked if a cmc is required.

 

I have american racing rims, with i believe the 20mm offset

 

I have Mickey Thompson wheels with 0et and 4.5" BS with 285 BFG at and I didn't need to do any trimming.

 

Hmm..if its based on a 17x9 wheel, a 20mm offset will yield a BS around 5.7in, which will rub the UCAs and require some spidertrax 1.25" spacers to fit. Get a tape measure out and measure the BS.

 

0mm offset, my bad lol

 

It will be pretty close and more than likely still need some front wheel spacers to avoid rubbing the ucas. Do a test fit first but you may need 3/4 inch spacers for the front. Your wheels are a 5" BS.
