A tacoma has no name. 1st build

Hello all!
First I'd like to thank the member of this forum who contributed to my past posts and questions. This website is a wealth of information and I encourage anyone considering any mod to research it here first.

So the lift is bilstein 5100's @.85 with 884 OME springs. And the Deaver 1.5" AAL, LR UCA's, and sway bar relocate kit.

The wheels/tires
Matte black trd wheels with 265/70/17 AT duratracs.

Post lift



It sets pretty level with about a 3/4" rake, which is nice.

Hardest part of the lift, and most embarrassing. Thinking I would set the bilsteins to the top setting, then after completing the front realizing I had 6 inches of lift in the front. Luckily I got on here and found out I didn't know as much as I thought. So always double check, especially if you're new to something.

Getting the fenders out of the way to replace the UCA's was kinda tough, I buggered up the metal quite a bit. But the skirt covers it so it's not that big of a deal.

The rear was really easy by comparison. Hardest part about it was installing the new longer centering pins, I had to put the overload and AAL on the pin then clamp the top 3 Springs, then move the centering pin/bottom leaves in as one piece.

Probably not the best write up, and lacks pictures. But if anyone has questions I'd be glad to help as much as I can.

And for anyone considering getting a lift, @HeadStrong Off-Road has the best prices and free shipping.

Thank you Tacoma world!

The truck looks really good Chris, thank you for sharing your experience!! Also don't be embarrassed about the Bilsteins I can't tell you how many shops I have seen do the exact same thing!!

 

I like it, definitely my favorite color of tacomas. So are the upgraded UCA's giving you more travel?

 

In my reading it seemed like it allows more room to keep the front end aligned. Cause the 2.5"-3" range I've heard it's borderline. I did it just to be conservative and have no doubts about getting a good alignment.

Tires are so expensive, to me it's worth that little extra investment to make my tire life longer.
