After a Lift Kit

Just installed an Old Man EMU lift kit and looking to get bigger tires. Need some good affordable control arms and need to level the truck, it sits a lot higher in the back than the front.

 

What lift did you put in front and rear? JBA are good and reasonably priced.

 

Wheels used? If not OE, offset?

'Lift kit' used? (Not just brand)

Why do you need UCAs? Up more than 2.5"?

 

JBA's and SPC's are the widely used and reasonably affordable.

 

The full Old Man EMU lift kit med load with the nitro sport struts and added leaf

 

What were the lift numbers for those items?

 

I believe the 3-inch kit from ARB

 

The back is meant to be higher so that when you load the bed it levels out.
That way the headlights aren't pointing at the sky when the bed is loaded.
If you were just going for looks, front spacers and an AAL would have been cheaper.

 

Did you assemble these yourself? Is that spring perch upside down? Your front is way too low. Something is wrong.

 

I know trucks do that lift in the back. I got the lift kit for offroad purposes and since I don't really fill up the bed with a heavy load I wanted to level the truck and put 33 tires on.

 

I had a shop compress the springs with the strut. I did put the lift kit on my self though. I notice that there are one too many leaf springs added.

 

its definitely upside down

 

Should look like this

edit: that silver washer looking this is a spacer to help with the Tacoma Lean. That should be on the coilover on the drivers side. Double check it after you have that shop UnF***k the coilovers

 

You might have the HD Dakar packs. Post more pics.

 

This is why its best to have people check out your build. Time to go yell out the shop that assembled my front suspension.

 

Ya I do. I have that extra leaf.

 

Well doing three in both the front and rear would not level the truck. You’d have the same stance just 3” higher. And as someone mentioned looks like the front coilover was assembled incorrectly.

 

I think I will just level the front with the level kit, but I don't really like the idea of spacers. Ya, the shop is going to have to fix their mistake.

 

Do not buy SPC UCAs. I got some & I’m already in the process of getting new ones cause they were defective.

JBA All Day. Trust me

 

They have a $400 high caster and $600 high caster what's the difference. Will this help fit 33 tires on?
