2nd gen 2WD Tacoma Pre OME, Spindle, AAL Build for light off road usage?

Hello Tacos,

I just recently purchased a 2010 Toyota Tacoma 2wd Pre Runner Access Cab and am looking to begin modifications mainly for aesthetic purposes. (Long distance highway trips/light off roading)

My question is mainly regarding front and rear suspension solutions.

If I went with a full OME 3" suspension lift coupled with AALs in the rear, is it recommended to use in conjunction with Lift Spindles? Or should the lift spindles be used in place of the OME lift? Or perhaps just forgo the spindles and just do OME?

From my understanding the benefit of using Spindles are to maintain the vehicles original geometry and for higher lift.

All in all I'm not looking for too high of a lift just enough to fit 285 or 295 with spacers to give the truck a more full/aggressive look. And given the aforementioned uses I would like to maintain a solid highway ride.

Below are a list of mod options I plan to add that would ultimately determine my suspension needs.

16" wheels
-Mb wheels 352

Tires 4x 285/75/16:
-General grabber at 2
-Bfg km2
-Bfg kO2

Rear
-AAL
-Drakar/ Leaf Pack

Armor
-Brute force fab bumper
-All pro bumper high clearance rear

Exterior
3-6" Fiberglass Fender Flares Front
3-6" Fiberglass Fender Flare long bed Bedsides
(Not sure what brand yet)

I know none of this is cheap but Budget friendly options please as I am in school and working.
Any assistance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Any responses?
