Ride Quality with your lift

I purchased the front suspension setup used from the forums for a very good price. Ended up purchasing the rear setup from toytec, at that time they were out of stock on the billes for the rear. I needed to have my suspension components in time for nor-cal mod day, so i went with the ome rear shocks....

Thank you =). Couldn't have done it without the help of the members here. With all the different kinds of lifts, it might take a while to find the perfect one. But with all the knowledge on this forum, it wont be a problem . Also attending mod days will give you an idea of what other members have, plus you see their rigs first hand .

 

I have this (http://store.fatbobsgarage.com/toyota-tacoma-3-lift-kit-w-rear-blocks-4wd2wd-2005---2010-p4203.aspx ) and I have no complaints. It installed easily and accomidates my 33's nicley. The ride is slightly stiffer but not uncomfortable. I searched and searched and couldn't justify the added expense of aftermarket coilovers for the type of driving I do (to and from work with some occasional fire trails/ dirt roads camping).

 

x2, except I have SAW 2.0s but I agree with everything he said. Like Canadianboy said I also have a rattle up front that I never had with the softer stock suspension, I think its either the front license plate or the plastic that lines the inside of the fenderwells.

 

My ride quaility.......excellent. Love my lift, no shakes, rattles, or rolls or vibs. 5100's set @ zero and eibach coils, and 265/75/16 Michelin MS 2's. No alignment issues. So I am happy.

The truck is exactly how I want it.

 

I have bilstein 5100 set @ 2.5 up front with the 1.5" aal for the tsb leaf pack with light racing ucas. alignment is all good. i've gotten so used to how it rides now, i forgot what a stock ride feels like. i've had my lift on for 8 months and ucas only on for 1-2 months. i got the light racing ucas because at hwy speeds, my truck wandered. it has improved with the new ucas.

 

i have the Revtek 3" spacer lift up front w/ 1 1/2" blocks in the rear. installed my lr ucas today and got the allignment right. but im sagging in the rear about an 1". decided to take the blocks out the back an go w/ the aal. how can i get 2 1/2" lift in the rear?? iv seen a 2" and a 3" aal but i think 3" may b too much. any suggestions??

 

started out with toytec spacer w/ aal's looked better , rode better but springs were bottoming out. then installed 5100's up front @ 2.5 helped the bottoming some but felt unbalanced front was too soft and rear was very stiff. installed ome springs up front with 5100's set @ 0 big improvement on ride but rear was almost 2 in lower. Finallly got a set of ome dakar springs, greasable shackles 5100's out back ride is perfect a little bit firmer than stock but much smoother than aal's and spacers IMO dont waste money on spacer type lifts would have saved about $350 and only had to do it once
