2016 Silver Tacoma TRD Off-road Lifted

3" front/2" rear Rough Country lift, 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers, stock wheels, with Cooper ST Maxx 285/75/16.
No rubbing, lift didn't affect ride quality at all. Tires give a little stiffer if a ride, but still rides great. Very little road noise, and tires handle nice.

 

Looks terrific! Nice ride!

 

Looks great. Did you do an alignment yet?

 

Looks good. I've been eyeing the Rough Country lift kit. Was interested in finding out if it's decent quality or not. Probably will only be doing light off-roading and not rock climbing or anything too suspension intensive.

 

Looks good. But spacer lift...

 

Just wondering what's so bad about spacer lifts if your not offroading?

 

Contrary to what some say, compared to kings, icons, ome, billies the ride sucks. More prone to breaking on and off road, your putting more stress on strut, etc.

 

Thank you. I was just trying to gather some info. I plan on buying a cheap spacer lift to put on my truck to check and make sure i won't have any unsolvable driveline vibrations before I spend a bunch on a suspension. Plus it will let me fit my new wheels any tires. Either way op's truck looks good.

 

You can still get driveline vibes with a spacer lift, youre still changing the geometry and angles, more stress on cv's etc. Driveline vibes are hit or miss just like the 2nd gen, some guys get it, some guys don't. His truck does look good. But $300 lift to stuff $2000 of wheels and tires on a $35000 truck...suspension should be the first investment, its an extremely important component/aspect of your truck. To each their own. The spacer debate will never be settled, just trying to help those when deciding.

 

I did have it aligned....aligned perfect. I dont do much off-roading. The Rough Country lifts are good products. I didn't want to spend 2k on a lift. For road driving and light off-roading it's perfect.

 

Nice. Was considering 285 st max's on stock wheels and spacers just yesterday. Looks good

 

Where did you have the alignment done at? How much did it run you?

Thank you
Austin

 

that is perfect look

 

Also interested. Not far away from you.

 

It looks really good, I like the stance.

 

Nice Tacoma

 

I had alignment at National Tire and Battery.....alignment was perfect....no issues. Tires balanced perfect also. Lift didn't affect ride quality....tires are a little different than stock, but I absolutely love them.....

 

If you are considering ST Maxx in 285/75/16 you will definitely need a lift and wheel spacers....

 

I have an odd feeling your alignment isn't factory spec at least not the caster with 3'' of lift and stock UCAs. Not trying to be a douche just helping you out, I'd get a second look at your numbers or post them here so we can let you know, lifted a few of these trucks, have never seen anyone get "perfect alignment" with factory UCAs and 3'' of lift, close to spec but usually caster is always off.
