    6" RC lift with struts Toytec add a leaf
    What's up guys, I need some help with my taco. Always snooped on the forum for answers never seemed to get a direct answer for my problem so here goes...

    Got a 2013 TRD Toyota Tacoma with:
    6" Rough Country w/N2.0 struts
    Toytec Add a leaf from their 3in leveling kit package
    35s Falken wildpeak a/t (yes minor rubbing)

    So you now know what I am working with here's the issue.
    I feel with the struts I wasn't able to attain full height or with the add a leaf pack on the back I sit higher than the front so I'm looking down (ass up). Is their anyway to level this out? I was thinking new adjustable coilovers but just need someone to confirm before I commit. I'm still new to the game and have a lot to learn. Also need to get new UCA's any recommendations for the price? I know total chaos is great just can't be spending almost $800 on just UCAs

    The rear looks really high. You could do adjustable coilovers but that’s $$$

    Do you like the height in the rear? Why not bring the rear down rather than bringing the front up. You have blocks and the add a leaf from toytec correct? You could remove the AAl to lower or remove the blocks/aal all together and get a custom Alcan pack made to the height and weight of your choosing.

    As for uca's total chaos would be my choice but otherwise light racing. There is tons of info here on different 6" setups

    6" RC lift with struts Toytec add a leaf

    Yeah I really like the height in the back, that's what I was going for initially but obviously I couldn't attain the same height in the front so I don't mind spending some $$$ on new coilovers because the struts aren't the best. Any recommendations for the front coilovers
    By you or anyone? I was looking at the bilsteins but do not know which ones to get to match the height....

    I'm also probably going to go with the light racing UCAs

    And thanks everyone glad to be part of the community!

    King makes coilovers for 6 inch lifts that you can adjust. Whatever you get has to be specific to 6” lifts so you can ditch the spacer.

    Well when they're made for 6" lifts it wouldn't level me out or would it? I believe my rear is close to 7-8in so I'm trying to level out...

    They have a longer rod end for 6” lift then you just crank the coils to raise it more.

    I think you will have a tiny bit of a rake regardless. But king and icon are your best bet. I know icon advertises that theirs can go to 7" of lift cranked. I myself have about 1 1/2" rake and don't mind it at all. I'm running the extended length bilstein/rcd 5100 up front and back with Alcan 6" leaf packs.

    No worries, let us know what you chose. I'm in the same boat, like what I have but can't help being tempted by kings. Let's see what tax return season brings me lol
