    ARB bumper with fogs, OME heavy lift kit
    Over at r/Overlanding (https://www.reddit.com/r/overlanding/) the kind sir that operates Bomber Products is offering 20% off ARB products. As such, I'm looking to get a few things for my '05: their bumper with holes for fog lights (http://store.arbusa.com/ARB-Deluxe-Bar-Toyota-Tacoma-2005-11-3423130-P3661.aspx), their OME two inch heavy sport lift kit (http://store.arbusa.com/2-Inch-05-On-Tacoma-Heavy-Sport-Kit-OMETAC05HKSB-P20932.aspx) and their fog light kit since I've heard it's better than stock (http://store.arbusa.com/Optional-Fog-Light-Kit-For-Deluxe-ARB-Bumpers-6821201-P3379.aspx).

    A few questions: Will all these mods play nice? Will I need new UCAs after installing the lift? Lastly, are their fog lights actually worth the upgrade?

    Thanks folks.

    Stock fogs won't fit in the bumper IIRC, so their fogs are the only choice (I think).

    UCAs are recommended. I think the lift is usually around 2.5, so they might not be necessary.

    Yeah, he seems like a solid enough dude. According to ARB the lift is supposed to provide around two inches with a bumper and winch. Since I won't have a winch installed right away it may sit a little bit higher. I also won't be getting a heavy duty rear bumper for bit, will the taco ride super stiff due to the new leaf springs?

    Yeah, some people on fb and reddit were uncomfortable with it.

    I mean, he's a legit person and business, but doing it that way makes people edgy, especially new customers.
