    ARB Deluxe bullbar, OME 886 w/ Dakars, Warn Winch, Safari Snorkel, Tepui RTT.
    quick question, i got a 2013 access cab. Im planning on purchasing the OME lift kit from toytec with the 886 coils and Dakars, i will be installing the ARB bull bar and a warn winch, i really wanna get 3" in the front so im thinking of buying the toytec top plate spacers. My question, is it safe to run these top plate spacers if i plan to do some hard core off road? thanks

    It's safe to run a 1/4" spacer on the drivers side to compensate for Tacoma lean but I wouldn't add it to both sides as you will still be lower on the drivers side. Hollar at @HeadStrong Off-Road should save you some money.

    This is the exact direction I'm going with my build. Could you please provide details on your suspension?

    Hey Guys. I'm looking into getting a full 3" lift for my 2015 Taco. I just want it for looks but I want quality as well. I see a lot of people recommending OME. Can anyone give some pros and cons? Also how much am I looking at spending to get it done at a shop. Any info is great.

    A full OME kit will run you about $2k. If you go 3" you will also need UCA'S which are $400 or so on top of that.

    How common is it to add wheel spacers in?
    You know to move the tires/wheels out?
