New here but a Toy freak like most of you!!

Hi,
Like most of you I love my Toy's, but need a little advice on putting leveling spacers on a 2015 Taco quad cab. I have a Old Man Emu 2 in suspension lift on it but it still rakes in the front. I just want to level it and would take about a 1 inch spacer. I have been told that I would have to change my A-arms. Has anyone done this and would I truly have to change the arms?

Besides this Toy I have a 75 FJ40, 79 Toy short bed pickup (only one that doesn't run), 84 4Runner original, 89 Extra cab DLX short bed, and of course my 2015 Taco.

Thanks for any help. Everyone Be Safe out there.

 

Hells yeah! I wanna see some pics of these yotas! Welcome. I will let others comment on the arms, as I am still running stock on my taco.

I too have a Toy problem

 

Will get some pics of all of them put hopefully soon. Thanks for the welcome.

 

I got some buddies who are in GA forum that may be able to answer. I will link this thread on ours.

Thanks any help appreciated even if it is the news I don't want to hear and I have to change the arms. Just want an honest answer not a sales pitch that I can do it and we will do it for $2k. Not that important, but would like to level it if I can at a reasonable cost.

I don’t think it’s a necessity if you can get the alignment correct when you get it done after the lift.
I got a 2.5” Fox lift and I don’t have new upper arms. My suspension cycles properly and because my rims are factory I don’t have rubbing issues, caused by many aftermarket wheels with offsets.

I love my LCs!

 

Awesome thanks for that. I am going to get new tires and an alignment done. I will give it a shot the worst thing is I take them out and re-align it again back to where it is now. Thanks everyone.

I had bilstein 5100's with Old man enu 885 springs. I'm guessing those are the springs in your lift. I didn't run aftermarket upper control arms with that set up. I got about 2 inches of lift. When I changed the springs to 886 springs it lifted it to about 2.5 inches. I am running after market control arms now. I think with the added spacer, yes you can run it with out control arms but your alignment will be pretty off with pretty low caster numbers. It may wander on the highway and you will have to put a little more effort into driving it. You can usually find some used arms from good companies for $350. I got my JBA's for $300 I think so it was an easier decision for me to make. I'm about to lift my wife's 4runner and debating if I want to put arms on her's as I"m only using the 884 springs so it should only be about 2 inchs of lift total.
