2016 trd off road long bed, NEED HELP. shocks! LIFT.

my plan for tires 285/75/R16, i think a 33" aggressive tire will be perfect. still not sure of what kind,

 

Yeah, you'll want 2-3" of lift for those to fit without rubbing

 

Those and a 2-3" lift should get you plenty of clearance.

 

They'll still rub. Youll have to do a UCA to get 2-3 inches of lift the right way. You'll want to do a cab mount chop and trim the inner fender wells to fit 33s if you intend to drive off-road or back up and turn at the same time.

 

Not true at all, I've been running 3" of OME lift on stock UCA's for 5 years and haven't had to trim anything or had any problems with alignments, and I'm going to be bumping up to a 295/75/16 soon without chopping anything because I have so much room

 

Good for you. I got UCAs and I needed to. Just speaking from experience.

 

so ill do all of that, and upper control arms, i need to make a complete list. then do some ordering.

 

yeah might as well go ahead and do UCA's, i think i got lucky haha - how much are you looking to spend?

 

well i spent 700 on a tough country lift. so im sending that back today, and willing to spend under 2 grand on a nice setup

 

You could go full OME for around 1200 - and Light Racing UCA's for around 400

 

fox level 1 kit, OME leaf pack, and light racing UCA's.. hows that combo look?

That looks good, not sure if it suits your needs though. Are you ever planning on a plate bumper with a winch? you''l want stiffer front end if so. Also 285's are going to be stuffed with 2" of lift, honestly I'd go full 3" and not 2" if you want to run 33's

 

the more lift the better, and yes i will be putting bumper on eventually. i have 4 inch lift in garage that i thought would work but its a bit too cheaply made. theres just so many options for coils, shock size, leafs, UCAs, that im getting confused on that website, hah

 

Yeah, I can't speak for the other brands personally, but I've had a great experience with the OME products, they have several options for front coils, the 886's are made to handle the weight of a plate bumper while still providing 2.5-3" of lift, which i can verify that they do live up to their rep (i have an ARB and warn M8000), their dakar leaf pack is also widely popular - most people will tell you OME is the best bang for your buck for a good quality lift and you cant go wrong with it


Wheeler's off road has a lot of info on the different lifts and companies, if you check out their website

 

coil:886x
strut:90000 firm
add strut/coil assembaly
add UCA.

thats what i did on the OME kit with full leaf pack. it comes to $1684.99

i am comfortable with this setup if i can run 33's.

would i need to buy anything else to add to this???

Don't get 886's unless you are adding a steel front bumper with winch
