    I just purchased an ARB front bumper for my stock TRD 4X4 Taco.
    What kind of sag am I looking at? I wont get the bumper for a week or so. I want to be prepared for what needs to be done to my suspension. I will eventually get a lift and so on, but for right now it's stock......

    I lost approximately 0.75 - 1" on my truck.

    See my member's ride in my signature for how it looks from a sagging standpoint. Please note I also currently have the non-TSB 2+1 leafpack.

    Once the snow finally clears, I'm planning on going with a small lift to regain some of the height I lost on the front of the truck. My setup will be Eibach / 5100 @ 0.85", 1.5" Icon AAL and rear TSB leafs.

    Also please note that if you have any of the Tacoma vibrations or want to get the TSB leaf pack, if you don't already have it, get the truck looked at before you get the ARB. My local dealership refused me when it came to the TSB because I had it.

    You didn't mention if you are adding a winch too- that's another 80-100#s hanging off the front which will cause a bit more sag. You'll definitely notice it in the handling department too.

    Yes,
    Check into some upgraded coil springs, such as OME 886x. Not sure if the 5100s will work with the 886s. Sorry

    OME 886x with OME shocks, Dakar springs, LR UCAs, ARB bumper with Warn VR8000. Midland 75-822 cb with 3' firestik. Cooper AT3 265/75/16 on stock steelies, rear diff breather mod.
    I installed an OME lift with 886X coils simultaneous with installing an ARB bumper and winch, so I can't comment on its effect with an oem suspension but I can highly recommend the OME/ARB combo, as many others here will do as well. I got roughly 3 inches out of the lift with the weight of the bumper/winch.
