3”+ Strut vs Spacer Lift

OMG, why would you install this crap in your $40K truck? Save your money and do it right.

 

Why not? Does he have stock UCAs? It’s a piece of cake with something like SPC UCAs,

My advice would be to get a better suspension, go 32’s in SL or C load and call it good

 

Indeed!

 

Here's my setup, it's really not that expensive. Good luck with your truck.

 

If hes looking at rough-country suspensions I instantly concluded there would be no possible way he had upper control arms. The factory control arms and alignment cams in the tacoma are physically incapable of getting good figures on the setup the OP describes. This isnt my opinion but the verdict of physics.

 

what did it cost you?

 

Got Kings and springs from a group buy, purchased UCAs, TC spindle gussets, and air bags on discounted sales. All about $3200 before shipping.

 

There is alot more to lifting these trucks correctly. I also installed Marlin Crawler LCA braces and BAMF hangers. If you just install a cheap lift and then go wheeling, you can actually damage your suspension components.

 

Aight so I could save up for something better it would just be awhile.

is this a doable route?


Or even this?

along with these?

 

I dig it.

 

Nice, Real Nice.

 

Now you're talking. You will be much happier with a better lift.

 

Dude, how do you like those airbags? That Deaver leaf pack looks thick! what are you towing? Also, what did the aftermarket spindles do for you?

 

Air bags do there job and I still have plenty of flex. I tow a trailer to 11 different states. Springs are 11 leaf's, super flexy, stock spindles bend, gussets prevent that.

 

Don’t do revtek or rough country. Stick to the known brands. Fabtech is about the lowest I would go

 

New to the Tacoma world! I have a 17 and trying to get a more aggressive look. Using the truck for camping and fishing. Thinking about a leveling kit. Here is what a shop said I would need to do. Does this all seem to be about right?
