    Hello everybody, I have a 2014 2.7L 4A Double Cab Base 5lug. I do have an aluminum workshell on the back that is roughly 200lbs. I have read through a lot of posts detailing different builds, but I’m having a very hard time finding information on if some parts are 100% for sure going to fit a 5lug, or information about parts that are required to do the lift the right way.

    I intend to lift my truck with the following:

    Lift: ReadyLift 2.75” Front 1.5” Rear AAL https://www.readylift.com/2-75-sst-...lug-2wd-2005-2018.html?gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds

    Front Coilovers: Bilstien 4600’s https://www.suspensionlifts.com/sho...nt-springs-for-2005-2015-toyota-tacoma-5-lug/

    Rear Shocks: Bilstien 4600’s for Pre-runner (people have recommended these for the additional length.) https://www.suspensionlifts.com/sho...4600-rear-shocks-2005-2022-toyota-tacoma-4wd/

    Front Coil SumoSprings CSS-1125: https://www.superspringsinternational.com/product/css-1125/

    Rear SumoSprings SSR-611-40: https://www.superspringsinternational.com/product/ssr-611-40/

    PerryParts Front Bumpstops (probably overkill but whatever): https://www.perryparts.com/product-page/2nd-gen-ab1f

    Wheels: American Racing AR62 Outlaw II 15x8 5x114.3 -19mm offset. https://www.americastire.com/buy-wheels/american-racing-ar62-outlaw-ii

    Tires: Toyo Open County A/T III 265/75r15

    https://www.americastire.com/buy-tires/toyo-tire-open-country-a-t-iii/p/88596

    Root of my issues:
    -mixed bag of reviews on if the Black box mod is required for this lift and tire size combo. I want zero rubbing.

    -Finding extended brake lines for my 2014 5 lug, front and rear. (If front and rear are even required for full articulation.) I’m not sure if these will work for a 5 lug.
    Rear: https://tacomabeast.com/products/20...ended-rear-brake-lines?variant=44073996091710
    Front: https://tacomabeast.com/collections/toyota-tacoma-brakes-and-rotors/products/2005-2023-toyota-tacoma-extended-front-brake-line

    If extended front brake lines are not required I would at least like to replace them with SS braided lines. Any recommendations?

    -For this lift should I use an OME Driveshaft spacer to prevent pre-mature wear? https://www.extremeterrain.com/old-man-emu-tacoma-rear-driveshaft-spacer-fk29.html

    -Lug nuts? Extended thread seem to be the recommended thing, but only if the seat of the lug nut is bearing the torque and not the extended section making contact with the rotor. Something like these Pro Comps that seem to be always out of stock https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/pro-comp-24-piece-12x1-5-lug-nut-kit-black-11138b/_/R-BKBQ-11138B
    or gorillas which have mixed reviews about them possibly cracking?
    https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/goril...12150BGR?ppcfon=1&gp=1&gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds

    To recap, I would like some recommendations to what people are running for brake lines, driveshaft spacers and lug nuts. Links would be appreciated. Also a dummy check that all of the parts I listed will work with my 5 lug before I pull the trigger. Thank you.

    the ling for the front bump stops is 404 error.
    sorry im not much help, i didnt do most of this, i jsut did a fat bobs spacer up front with 4600 shocks, and the fat bobs aal in rear. i didnt have to extend any break lines, nor did i use a driveshaft spacer. but for 20 bucks ill get one if it would help with the longevity of my truck, i want to build a cool capable little 5 lug but i want it to last a million miles too. got a pic of the front bump stops? ill upgrade those too if theres an option why not.

    also for the record i have a jobox tool box full of tools prob 200lbs when loaded, and a metal ladder rack that prob adds 100-150 lbs, jsut guessing on weights but my rear end sits lower then the front with all that weight, even with the aal. looking into shackle flip kit to make up for the load in the rear
