Official 1995.5-2004 5lug tacoma lifted/lowerd suspension guide and general info

Yes, I know this was a while ago, but thank you for putting all this together and for everyones comments. Just got this 1998 Tacoma shipped from California. I made the mistake of ordering the wheels/tires before it got here and got 31X10.5x15 (big I know but we need some lift to access our property) so now i'm planning to use that 3" Fabtech lift with shackles or Add-A-Leaf. Any other suggestions? Am I going to need spacers also to fit these tires? I know i'm sure we'll have to do some trimming. Worse case scenario am I going to have to sell my brand new wheels and tires (they've already been mounted)?

Thanks everyone!

 

Hello,

have been driving my new to me 98 spring spacer/add a leaf lifted tacoma for a few month now and the ride is rough. Have looked at the front end and was wondering if bolting on a ubj spacer would soften the ride up front?
Only have found info on ball joint spacers for trucks up to 95. Am I missing something.

thanks and rgds

 

Tacomas dont get the UBJ spacers, hilux/original toyota pickup get them because they use a different upper control arm. (ive tried this before)

Plus i dont think with how the stock upper arms and ball joints are that any type of spacer will work without causing serve damage.

 

i jsut picked up this "total chaos taquito" long travel stuff for the 1st gen 5 lug. idk much about it im a second gen guy but i couldnt let it get away, guess ill be in the market for a 1st gen 5 lug now. anyone tell me any hisotry about this kit or anything? google just pops up a couple old posts of other "taquito" kits for sale, one sold and one was posted in like 2014. going to check through the single cab stuff and see what elsei can learn about it.

 

I run the same tire with Fabtech 3in spindle and a daystar spacer no issue or rubbing ever daily driving!
