New to the forum, need ideas on a lift kit

Would you like to elaborate on the amount of lift you are looking for?

 

Try doing a search. There are plenty of posts asking the same question

 

SAS swap on 42"s.

 

Do you want to spend $400 or $40,000? That's the range...
Welcome!

 

OME 888's on nitrochargers with a Dakar leaf pack in the rear.

Boom, done. 3 inch lift. Add some 285 tires and you're good.

 

F that noise just keep it stock.

 

I've got a BNIB 6" BDS w/Fox remote resi I need to unload. Coils were powder coated red to make your silver rig turn heads.

 

6" spacer lift pretty common. I have to agree with @rlx02 on putting the 42s on there.. perfect set up easy on the MPGs

 

This.

 

Nice truck, and welcome.

 

Hey Erv, as mentioned by motodude 95 OME 888 full kit on 90021. I like mine although I wish I got more lift (22.5 inches front wheel center to bottom of fender settled). I also installed light racing upper control arms which are adjustable. I set mine to the D position they suggest which has 2 degrees caster. With factory UCA's and a lift you won't achieve the 3.0 degrees caster, 0 toe, 0 camber people here suggest for alignment numbers. Apparently it won't handle well and will limit down travel binding on the upper ball joint. Of course that's just what I read here, I put them on at install and got 2.7/0/0. Also read about the ECGS bushing (East Coast Gear Supply). Toyota has been supplying a needle bearing in the driver side of the front diff that vibrates after a lift. Vibration will lead to failure, this is a well documented issue for years and Toyota should be ashamed of themselves for ignoring the issue. Very poor Engineering on their part (comment directed to Sweers) ECGS supplies a bushing to fix the issue. You'll want to put it in when installing the lift since you'll have everything apart already. The bearing puller tool was very much worth the money. Doing it again I'd suggest adding longer bolts to the top hat so you can add a top plate spacer thicker than 1/4 inch without strut disassembly down the road. You might want to do this should you add accessories that cost you your lift, sliders, winch, skids etc. Also just go ahead and put a 3.0 degree shim on the dakars (rear spring) at install and save yourself some time. I have some on order after after reading a few people here used them to cure small vibration issues. Another thing to watch for with this kit is that the shocks limit the rear flex. The shocks limit out before the brake lines do, personally I'd have rather installed longer brake lines and got the max out of the spring/shackle combo. Anyway if you're planning to run 285/70R17 that 3.0 degrees caster with help keep the front tire out of the rear of the wheel well. You still might have to do a CMC (cab mount chop) and heat massage the fender liner or beat the pinch seam flat. It will depend on wheel back spacing and tire choice. For example if you buy a BFG KO 285 it will be substantially smaller than a Nitto, Toyo or even BFG KM. Anyway that info above should save you weeks of reading but is just one of many options. Welcome to TW.

How long have you had your truck and is it financed?

 

Thanks guys!
I got her 4 months ago. I like the way it rides, i do lots of highway driving and already have 8,000 miles on her. Im thinking of keeping her stock for now. I get free tires for life with the stock wheels. My wife want’s a 4runner so maybe after that I’ll do the lift on the Taco. Thanks!

 

Boop.

If you're doing mostly highway and just want it to sit better, level her off and call it a day while keeping some money in your wallet
