Please Identify lift 1998 4x4 Tacoma

.


What can I do to get more ground clearance thanks in advance

 

That sir is a drop bracket which as you noticed kills your ground clearance and is only for mall crawlers haha. Your options for more clearanfe is bigger tires or remove the drop bracket if possible reinstall factory bracket if possible and install a 3in lift

 

They dont kill the ground clearance they just keep it what it was when stock. Unfortunately your crossmember has been cut out to accomodate that lift so unless you figure that problem out your kinda stuck with it. Bigger tires are your only option for more clearance. You could however, put a set of top plate spacers or something like that on there to get a bit more lift. Another idea is if that lift utilized spacers of some sort to let you run stock sized struts and coils, you can get a new set of coilovers and get a couple inches that way too. Since the DB lift keeps your suspension at stock geometry you can get away with lifting it more on top of what has been gained with the DB.

 

Thanks everyone

 

Sell it, start over wit something that hasn't been butchered.

 

Looking at the lower A arms, they seem to be lower at the bracket than at the knuckles. You should be able to add to the strut length by using a adjustable coilovers or possibly a Tundra strut with a top spacer of some sort. More rsearch is inevitable.

Better pics showing the knuckle style and strut would help.

 

Drop bracket is for those who must have 4" of lift without totally destroying cv's because of angle, with that inch gained, you end up losing an inch or more due to bracket design/geometry

 

Drop brackets are fine, ignore these professional racers thinking they push their trucks to the absolute limit. You need new springs and shocks, you have 3-4" to gain from that alone.

Lift kit looks like Pro Comp.

 

He aint getn no 3-4" of lift by replacing coils.

Op wants ground clearance up front. That db lift isnt gona give him that.

 

Bilstein 5100's provide 2.25" of lift over stock. If you'll notice from OP's picture you can see his lower arms are articulated beyond parallel under only the load of the truck. By my estimates he's sitting around 2" under stock, his springs are completely shot.

 

It does look like hes setting on the bump stops...

 

5100s is considered a lift not just coils. And its not recommended to stack lifts. Factory struts might not even fit.

 

The lift kit he has now uses factory struts, same as nearly every other drop bracket kit on the market. 5100's are designed to replace factory struts so there won't be any fitment issues whether there is a bracket lift or otherwise. Read a fucking book next time you think you have something intelligent to add please.

 

What was wrong with what i said? I Know how 5100s work, i have some myself. Stacking lifts still isnt recommended. A couple db lifts for this truck use longer struts not just a spacer.
