My first Tacoma and my first truck

Hey guys just picked up my 2015 double cab longbed trd sport on Friday. So far love the truck super excited about all the mods I am going to do to it. Love this site it helped my decision getting this truck.

 

Congrats Alex. great choice. Love the DCLB. They look especially good with a suspension lift.

Share a pic of your new rig.

 

love ur lift is it OME

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Yup. 884 coils and Dakar leaf pack. Original Nitro Charger shocks. Love it.

Super capable suspension for the money.



What are your plans?

 

I am interested in the same setup with 885 coils. Did u find it locally in bc or did u order it from the states. Also how is the onroad ride quality

 

Was also considering nitro sport shocks

 

@Powpow604 On the road it feels super smooth and loose compared to the stock Sport suspension. I bought them through Wheelers and had them shipped to seawings which is a shipping company that receives packages in Washington, then flies them to their office at the Victoria airport where you pick them up, and do all the brokerage stuff yourself to avoid all those costs. Take it from the 604 you're in BC? Big Country Customs has pretty fair prices and based in Abbotsford

 

With 885 coils (2.5" lift) you're about a 50/50 chance of having to replace UCA's to get a decent alignment. Those will run you another 600 up here.

 

Thx man for all the answers I am looking for about a 2.5 lift so I think I might go with OME just not sure about 2015 fitment

 

I'm having a full OME kit with 887's installed Friday here in the states. Full Dakar leaf pack. Plus Light Racing UCA's.

Congrats on the new Taco! Mine is a 2015 as well.

 

Great looking truck and camper. How much does that camper weigh?

 

Thanks. 750ish.

 

Let me know how the install goes I want to make sure the back shocks fit before I order my lift

 

I ordered mine from Headstrong Offroad. They tell me it's only a handful of 2015's that have a problem. Something about Toyota's last batch of strut brackets on the rear not all being made the exact same size/shape. The ones that don't fit have to be manually ground down a bit to accommodate the fit of the shock. Apparently a number of folks don't have to do anything.

I'm having my system installed by a professional shop here in town. I'll report back if they have issues!

 

do u know how many hours the install takes

 

Did u install it how did it go how is the ride quality

 

Just had it installed today by a local shop. They put seven hours total into it (two guys for 3.5 hrs each). Only had time to drive it home. Seems smooth though.

 

How much of a lift u got. How is the ride compared to stock

 

From my initial measures I got close to 3". Don't have my notes with me right now though.

On my drive to with this morning I really tried to feel out the difference. It's not huge on straight flat roads.

It is definitely stiffer and more sure of itself. I don't notice any body lean at all when turning at traffic lights. But I didn't notice much before either.

I do feel the little bumps in the road a little more than before but it still feels smooth to me. A few fold warned that the Dakar rear leafs would be super stiff without weight in the rear. I went over two speed bumps and off a curb this morning and it really didn't feel like the rear end bounced at all.

The truck is definitely taller. At 5'6" I notice my step up into it is more exaggerated. But I can still do it without using my N-Fab steps. It drives straight as an arrow thanks to having alignment done. I don't feel like the truck is higher though while driving. It really feels much the same.

I put it into 4H to pull up onto this curb for this photo. I will say the 4x4 feels different though. Granted I've never taken her off road yet! Only ever used the 4H on road to test and make sure it worked!
