Could use some insight lifting front

Lmao!

 

Thanks again. Will use your info soon enough. Maybe save up for a little while then pull the trigger.

 

Here's what I'd do. Especially if you are comfortable using spring compressor to assemble the fronts.

Get the 5100s and coils from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc unassambled. That takes care of the front.

Then order the rear shocks in a month or so, when you can. (The rear shocks you have will be ok for now).

Then before spring (when you start wheeling) do the brake lines, bump stops, and shims or carrier bearing drop.

 

I agree but i never expected upwards $500 to lift the front an inch.. so that will be a little while before that can be done, especially after Xmas.

Was thinking of trying to manage without a spring compressor... check 5:20 of this video:

Spring compressor still needed?

 

I have never done the springs without a compressor. I know some people do it. That's going to be your choice. It's doable.

Unassembled will save you some coin for sure. I think the shocks and springs are under 350. My son just bought those exact coils/shocks a few weeks ago as a matter of fact.

 

From WOR?
Sorry to put you on the spot.. WOR has only the finest products!

 

Yep... He bought the 5100 fronts and Eibach coils a few weeks ago. He got a Cyber Monday deal. But their prices today are just under 350 for the shocks and coils unassembled.

 

You know of a decent discount code? Im fairly close to affording it now.

 

Wheelers doesn't have a discount code. But I'm pretty sure they give TacomaWorld discount. Try private messaging them on here and see what they say.

I'll tag them here too @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc

 

10% off sale running now until the 31st! Discounts applied in the cart.

 

Well there ya go @russperry20

 

People helping people!

Thank you

 

I really appreciate it. Will still need to wait for next paycheck or two but thank you!

 

Now you see why I recommend @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc all the time... every time.

 

Anyone else agree?

I'm def in the market to go with this set up as well.. 5100s with the eibach coils. That would give me about a 2 inch lift im guessing? Does anyone have some pics of that setup i wonder? It would be awhile before i could afford to do the rear. I'm not even sure what i'd need for that. Unless the front lift makes it nice and even... I'm wanting to go up to at least a 32 inch tire at some point.

 

Im going the 5100 route(front and rear), reusing the front coils, and adding a 1" leak spacer block. Also was looking into the diff drop. Is it necessary?
How do I know if I need to space the center bearing? Is there an angle it is recommended to be at?
Are the rear brake lines needed to replaced with longer ones?

Sorry for all the questions, but Im new to the Taco world. And Im away from the truck right now. Any info will help.
