    Hello All,
    I just purchased a 2004 tacoma and I am going to immediately start building it. I have some questions before i start ordering all the pieces. This truck will be a daily driver and used offroad, surf trips through baja, trails all around the west. Nothing to heavy, no rock crawling or anything like that.
    I am going to go all OME. What I can t figure out is, if I have a camper shell, and full size spare do I need to AAL. I was going to go with the 880 coils, I am not adding a bumper and want to stick with 265/75/16s. I do not want the BRO-Lean.. I actually like the natural rake of the tacoma 4x4. I am trying to keep that rake, but add better suspension and maybe another 1'-1.5'

    Thanks,
    Justin

    KN cold air intake, Fox 2.0 coil over with 3" lift, 1"front diff drop, 285/75/16 TKO2 w/1.25" spacers,
    FYI. I added Fox 2.0 coil over fronts and Fox 2.0 shocks rear. First few days very firm but they have softened a little and the ride and handling is incredible compared to stock. Still firm but can take dips at speed now which would have shattered teeth before. Coil over Lifted the front 2". Added a leaf in the rear and lifted 2-2.5 inches. Not cheap but the best thing I've done to it in a long time. 250k miles on an unopened motor and still running strong. Running 295 75 16 BF Goodrich TKO2. Happy with those as well.
    I have a camper shell and my off road is not blazing new trails. Daily driver

    I am running bilstein 5100s front and back on my 03 TuRD. Front has stock coils, rear has toytec shackle lift at 1" and I also have a shell over the bed. Front set to max with 2.5 " lift and 265/75-16 on stock rims. Works well for me on and off road, you will need to do some trimming on the fender well...
