Lift pic for access cabs anyone??

Looking to get a lift for my taco access cab... Hoping for suggestions and pics

 

you don't have many options, fat bobs or ready lift. there are many threads in this forum about it

here's mine before and after with fat bobs/wheels-

 

Yeah I noticed there are very few options for these trucks unfortunately. I like the look in your pic, much better than the before. Thank you!

 

total chaos sells a pretty nice 5 lug long travel kit

 

jaycagney, what size tires you got on that setup? oh and wheel setup

 

cragar d windows with 31" general grabber at2's

it needs to be regeared someday. pulled two motorcycles on a 6 hour trip and never made it out of 4th. it was a lot of weight though

 

My 2005 5-Lug Tacoma. 2.75" Ready Lift on 31's

 

Thanks man! I actually have wheel spacers so they wouldn't rub... They rubbed a tiny bit with out the spacer, I highly suggest you get one. The rear was just the Add-leaf from the SST lift... I have new struts on the front and I'm putting new bilstein shocks on the front and back this spring. My tires are falkans which I love, they're a bit beefy but don't kill my mileage... They give me an extra inches on my lift so I'm basically sitting 3" front and 2" in the back after the tires being installed

 

Hey guys. I'm new to the Tacoma ownership world. Still digging through the forum for info and ran across this post. I got a 2012 access cab back in Feb. The PO had put 225/60 17s on it. It sits really low for my liking since I came from a lifted Jeep TJ. I like the look of the lifted trucks in this thread. I've been looking at the Procomp 2 3/4" front and 1 3/4" rear spacer kit. Been told I can fit 31's then. I would also go back to 15" rims most likely. Other than a little effect to milage, any other issues? How does it affect the power? I'm not really looking to regear at this time.

Thanks! Nick

 

I've obviously spammed these in a few other threads, since getting it done last week.. however, you are asking for it!

I waited a full 4 years with the vehicle 'as stock' before taking the next step.

I had bought the rims and tires (LT225/70R16's) as a kijiji.ca opportunity that i couldn't pass up in the spring, when it was evident that the stock tires were dangerously/abnormally wearing. This triggered this upgrade cycle, along with a few commuting near-misses that made me decide to upgrade crash protection on the truck (there really isn't very much under the front bumper cover). With getting the front bumper, I also had to plan on some suspension upgrades and the lift.

Readylift SST with AAL install, Bilstein 4600's front/Bilstein 5100's rear.

The wheel-sets still look slightly under-size for the scale of the truck - but i'm fine with that. The actual handling/drive performance is markedly improved to my satisfaction over stock, which is what i was looking for as a major part of the upgrade cycle. If i feel like changing up, i'll do so when the rubber is worn out sufficiently to justify it.

Not quite finished the upgrade cycle - I am ordering a Fab Fours rear bumper to replace the stock tweaked bumper (it seems to be a magnet for numpty's who like running yellows, when i'm not..) today, and there are a few 'black-out' cosmetic changes to be done, to finish it up for now.

It drives and feels like a light truck now.. not a Corolla that someone has taken a sawzall to. When your stock components start wearing out, i'd highly recommend going for the spacer/aal suspension upgrade route - best bang for the buck, for the 5-lug.

 

Strut spacers in front. Firestone ride-rite rear.

 

If you plan on off-roading, sell your 5-lug and get a 6-lug.

 

- ReadyLift 2.75/1.75 levelling kit
- BlackRock 937 17x8 black steel rims
- Hercules 245/70/17 TerraTrac ATII tires

 

Fat bobs. 235/70R15

 

Has anyone re geared?

 

Did you do just the front strut spacers and not the AAL?
