Lift Kits: OME vs 5100s

I know this is out there but want to get direct information and options. Checking out the various kits on Headstrong.

Which combo can you get the most height out of with a quality ride? Want to get close to 3 as possible

Decided against a drop bracket lift from the help here.

Also, are new control arms needed?

 

Any help or recommendations?

 

Do you have any weight added to the front (bumper, winch, etc.)?

 

I dont. Considering a bumper down the road, but not now

Check out this setup. This would be perfect.

 

What 2" blocks were added do you think?

 

The second kit you have listed contains 886 springs that are rated for heavy front loads. If you were to run them before you do the bumper, you would have a pretty rough ride. Personally, with no added weight I would buy the first kit with the 887s.

 

Don’t do blocks. At a minimum do a single aal. They’re around $80 and are much better than blocks.

 

New to this, so what is that? lol and I would just need 1?

 

And should I keep the UCA in the kit, or use my stock one?

 

It’s a single leaf spring that fits inside your factory leaf pack that provides lift. And they are sold in pairs...

 

It’s always a good idea to get UCAs when going over 2” of lift.

 

Ok thanks! So the single leaf will go in the back along with the ones that come with the setup?

 

On a second gen tacoma you need aftermarket UCA's for a 3 inch lift. I used my stock ones for a few weeks before I got aftermarket UCA's. The stock ones will ride like shit and everywhere you go you feel like the ball joints are going to pop out.

If you get the 'light racing' UCA with this kit, which brand are they giving you?

 

And does headstrong have the best price for this setup?

 

Light Racing is the brand of the UCA

 

No I didn’t notice you had new leaf packs in the package. You’ll be good with those. No need for add a leafs.

 

Ok, thanks. What could be added to add a few more ins? Anything?
