Lifted 1st gens let's see em

Look like All Pro Baja

 

Yooo! this is NOT my rig, but I thought i'd post it here. dis guy wants to trade off his truck b/c he hates the lift. im about to invest in an OME kit myself, but If this was your problem what you do to correct it?

 

Don’t seemed like a DB or BL. A simple spacer lift. Change the suspension to Bilstein 4600 or 5100 and call it good. But is a prerunner

 

yea looking at it I thought it was just a spacer myself. I thought maybe he was getting rid of it cuz the uspension was too soft, but I guess he's just lazy.

 

My 96 daily driver. Blown Fabtech FT2300s up front, mystery "Northwest Offroad" leaf pack and Fabtech shocks in back. I need to figure out what I'm replacing the coilovers with, leaning OME now but open to other suggestions in that price range.

 

My '96. Toytec ultimates in front, OME dakar bastard pack in the rear with Bilstein 5120's, 1" shackle. Pretty weighed down in this pic

 

98' Ext cab.

Bilstein 5100s
DIY Roof rack and Rear bumper (front bumper is in the works)

 

What color is your truck? Looks great. When my paint finally gose I'm gonna go that route.
Hers my truck. Has a 2" ish lift. The rear is a 1.5" 600 over stock with relocated rear shocks. In the new ligher weight trim it rides just right a little firm but eats up anything.

 

Todays view

 

Stock to Dobinson’s with 16” Nomads wrapped in 33” BFGoodrich Pizza Cutters.

 

2002 Tacoma 4x4 with 6" lift

 

How did you acheive a 6" lift? Is this a Rancho lift?

 

FT or RC drop bracket I assume… Don’t look up be a 3” suspension lift with 3” body lift.

 

I don't know, I didn't do it, I just got the truck and that's what the guy told me.

I think this is the lift on it, but I'm not sure: https://www.roughcountry.com/product/configurable/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-74130

 

Drop bracket lift. Take a picture from the front of the vehicle that shows the lower control arms and we can confirm what it has.

 

Yep, RC 6" drop bracket lift as you referenced. DB is typically frown up but between rough country and fabtech, I say fabtech has the better designed setup. They avoid using spacers.

 

Either is still better than the ol school TrailMaster lifts they used to peddle back in the day..

 

Thank you! PO rattlecanned it a pale FDE. When I get the deferred maintenance finished I'm going to paint or bedline it green.

Yours looks great! How do you like the relocated shocks?

I installed a pair of Radflo 2.0 ext travel C/Os in front, ordered a pair of the Radflo 2.0 OEM replacement rear shocks today, gonna pull a leaf from my NWOR leaf packs and see how she sits. May end up with General Spring leaf packs, we'll see.

 

Relocated shocks are awesome. I've had some issues getting them to sit where I could benefit from the available travel but I'm over all pretty happy my truck feels pretty stable in most terrain.
