Suspension Lift Advice

I'm upgrading my suspension on my '17 TRD off-road and am picking up a pair of King coilovers and rear shocks on Friday. I have basically no mechanical knowledge, so I need advice on what other parts to get. After the lift I plan on putting 285/75r16 tires on, skids and sliders, a steel front bumper/winch on and maybe a steel rear bumper, and I currently have a RTT that weighs about 350 lbs with the rack. For the leaf springs I'm thinking Deaver stage 2s.

For the UCA's, should I get the SPCs to try to fit the 285s? I read that they aren't the best quality, so would the total chaos arms be better? I know I'll have to trim regardless. I don't believe the Kings are extended travel, so I don't think I need a brake line extension but just want to make sure. And do I need any other parts like a diff drop kit, sway bar relocation, etc.?

 

You might consider a carrier bearing drop and axle shims to keep the rear driveline at the correct angle.
I'm running JBA high-caster UCA...alignment is within spec, and the ride is great.
What does your rig weigh laden for a trip? This will help determine the leaf and coil spring rate as well as the valving for shocks and struts.

Which front coils do you have on Kings? For added front weight? https://accutuneoffroad.com/articles/coilover-spring-rates-for-toyota-tacoma-4runner/

Thank you! I haven’t gotten the coilovers yet but I’m just assuming he has the 600 lb springs on them, so I’ll buy the 650 or 700 lb springs once I get all of my armor. For trips if I had to guess I have about 100 lbs max of supplies in my bed. The front bumper/winch combo I’m looking at is about 270 lbs, skids and sliders together are about 240 lbs, and rear bumper is about 150 lbs. And then the RTT/rack that are 350 lbs.

 

Talk to the pro’s but IMO 700 lb coils. Deaver a are great In running icon RXT option 3

 

OP, I'd recommend getting your laden rig on a scale before you purchase any more suspension parts.
This is the best way to determine your spring rates.
