Taco Mod Update

Did you notice it leveled out or does the front end sit a bit higher?

 

about an inch higher in the front now, haven't done anything to the back yet, maybe a one inch block

 

Oh dang....ha. I just wanna level it, not have the front higher.

 

Looks good to me. Nice truck

 

I am happy with it, ultimately want a four inch complete coilover from OME or FOX but don't like the idea of cutting the cross member on a truck thats a month old... so I am happy for now. want to get 275 60 R18 black rhino Pismo and not sure on tire yet.... maybe BFG KO2 or there mud terrain.... head a lot of good things about this brand tire

 

My kit arrives Thursday and my spacers tomorrow. I'll have it in by the end of the weekend. I'll probably end up doing it Thurdsay night. I did my Silverado myself and this only seems a tiny bit more involved.

I had the KO2's on my Wrangler. I personally loved them. I live in PA and found that I got great traction in snow and ice. They were great on wet roads and off-road they were perfect. When the tires that came with the taco wear out, KO2's will be going on. The previous owner of my truck installed a set of Falken wildpeaks and they're pretty much new, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform.

 

I had KO2s on my Silverado. In GA we don't get a lot of snow. Last Winter, however, we got 14 inches of snow. I drove the day that it started and they performed much better than I expected.

 

let me know how you like those tires, I have considered them to

 

So I got the leveling kit installed today. Looks great except for one thing. The front wheels slant inward vertically. It's dark out right now for me to take a pic. They were supposed to do an allignment, they charged me for one anyway. So we shall see. Tomorrow I'll take a better look at it and see whats going on.

 

Positive camber is there term I was looking for.

 

So how does it ride, any vibration from the tires or lift, needle bearing replaced? Sweet looking Tacoma!

 

Nothing replaced. Just the leveling kit. No vibrations. Feels just like it did before just a little higher off the ground. Only thing I will be to do is get it to the garage for them to look at the positive camber. I'm not too thrilled about the alignment job.

 

Some pics . 1.

 

Just a pic of the leveling kit installed. But the first few pics were an attempt for you guys to see the positive camber. Hard to get a good picture of it.

 

Just an update, if anybody cares, I have the leveling kit on. It's been aligned twice. Runs great, feels great, looks great. I do experience the needle bearing pulse that many have talked about. I only experience it under the following circumstance: after taking the truck out of 4 wheel drive into 2 wheel drive it will vibrate/pulse for about a mile or two and then dissapear. The vibration does not return until the next time I take the truck out of 4 wheel drive. It does not pulse or vibrate while in 4x4. So I know I can fix it with the bushing. I probably will before winter, but for right now, it goes away after a mile of driving so....I don't care.
