    I'm curious to know if anyone else has ordered a lift from YotaMafia. I recently did because I could not get Headstrong to give me a call. So I dug around and found YotaMafia and was able to talk with them on the phone. They are located in Florida.

    I ordered this kit: https://yotamafia.com/product/2016-present-tacoma-lift-3rd-gen/

    I also ordered a spacer for the Driver Lean.

    Their kit says the Icon AAL is 2.5" lift... I have not seen anything online that mentions the Icon AAL is more than 1.5".

    I did not order UCA's. Talked to local Toyota Shop Foreman and he said as long as you keep it under 3", you really don't need them. YotaMafia lift says their front is 2.5" lift on OME888 Coils.

    Should I be worried about this setup? I thought I did my due diligence prior to purchasing this lift, but now I am questioning/doubting myself. Is there anything I need to change? Does this seem right?

    I want to keep my truck level, and not have the rear 1" lower than the front, or vice versa. Should I swap out the 888 with an 887?

    I am starting to feel duped.

    YotaMafia is right down the road from me. I just picked up some rock sliders there that I ordered from c4fab.

    I'm pretty sure that AAL will only net you 1.5" lift over stock, with the 5100's adding 2.5" in the front. Might just be poor wording on their site but I do see where it does claim the AAL adds 2.5".

    Thanks for reply. I got some feedback from Reddit which confirmed what you said. I think they YotaMafia was basing that off keeping the overload spring in which I do not want to do. I think this will level out my truck while at the same time give me some lift. I also plan on changing out the front needle bearing, and adding the sway bar relocation kit. While I have it all apart, I might as well do some PM work to prevent future failures.

    Looks like a solid kit, I'm planning on doing something very similar. Let me know how your alignment goes with stock UCAs as that is the only thing I'm really unsure of. I've heard the same thing that if you stay under 3" it should be fine but I also have negative offset rims that might make a stronger case for new UCAs.

    Will do. I plan on doing it this weekend if everything comes in in time. The sway bar kit and ECGS bushings are to be here between today/Friday? I need to get my truck on level ground because it appears to have a passenger side lean to it.

    Was worried a bit about the UCAs, and to be honest, I may get some down the road. But for now, going to stay with stock ones.
