Got My BF K2 Tires - Now the lift

If you have some basic tools I say do it yourself. Its not too hard. And you get the sense of accomplishment. Ucas are easy. And if you dont get the shocks and coils assymbled, then all you do is take them to a shop and have them comprees the coils onto the shocks for like $40 then you put those in.

 

sounds like a pretty sweet setup man. def no need for 4x4 where you are at....the good thing about a 6" lift is that your cv joint angles remain pretty much stock look so you do not have to worry about the boots busting or joint failing like you do on a 3" lift

 

how much should i pay for the installation.... I will provide all parts?

 

yeah get it all together, so you only have to put it on at once and only one alignment. and i agree with jd, do it yourself. its not that hard

 

honestly im not sure, id say a few hundred

 

ok so u think its wise to buy it with the ome coils and diff drop....330.00 out the door

 

yep, good way to go for a 3" lift

 

Cuz its a FORD!

Yea. I think though that they have to cut the front crossmember on 4x4's when you do a 6".

 

You mean switch the 6 and 3?

the good thing about a 6" lift is that your cv joint angles remain pretty much stock look so you do not have to worry about the boots busting or joint failing like you do on a 3" lift

 

Yea. Get those OME front shocks with the coils and your good to go. If you want, you can run the top plate spacer too. Its 1/4" and provides i think either 1/2" or 3/4" lift.

 

trying to decide about tires now.....want aggressive with low noise (dynamatting this week) any suggestions?

Like the Cooper STT
Goodyear Duratrac

 

Yea. CV stands for constant velocity.

 

If its between those 2 I say get the Duratracs

 

do u have another recommendation? all ears

 

Well I like mud terrains. haha I have the bfg km2s. I love them. But I know a few tacomas that have those goodyears and they look and work great as well. Its up to you.

 

For offroading, a good rule of thumb is to stuff the biggest tire under the smallest lift.

6" is a little big for a lot of offroading styles. Just depends on what you want to do.

 

well.... guys i will try to do it myself... how long should it take for a firstimer? i mean i dont want take several days...

 

I was literally about to buy the goodyear then i read that a few people werew having trouble with swaying on the interstate "weak side walls", wtf?

 

You can tackle everything in a full day. If you are doing the aal for the rear you can even do that another day. You can drive with just the front lifted. The rear shocks take like 20 minutes tops to install. Grab a friend to help too.

 

Really? Never heard of that. that would make me sketchy about it too
