NEW TO TOYOTA TACOMA

Hello toyota world. Thanks for the add and letting me in your community. I have an Tacoma 03 Xtra cab. My question is about the 63 swap. I read though the thread about the 63,but still have some questions. 1st I'm running 8 " in the front and I want to running 8" on the backs but with the 63. My 2nd question is , is there anyone one running 8" in the back with the 63 swap but not using any blocks? Like I said I'm new the the Tacoma world. I know you can do 63 swap I'm just lost when it comes to the block thing. Thanks for your help.

 

8” as in lift?

 

Yes

 

First, 63 will not provide 8” of lift. You’ll need custom springs if you’re trying to achieve that amount of lift.
Second, how are you achieving 8” of lift in the front? I assume it’s 6” DB with 2” BL or a custom 8” DB?
Last of all, not that it matters in this case, what size tires and your intented use? Assuming it’s for mud?

 

I running 38x12.50x15. It's going to mud / woods and road truck not so much of a road truck. I would put a picture of the truck but I don't know how to upload it. Any tips. Thanks

 

See i this picture i have 5" BLOCKS. I'm trying to do away with the blocks

 

Welcome to TW....

 

Yeehaw, welcome to TW

 

Solid axle, makes sense now. IMO, you got 2 option to achieve your goal as stated, custom springs or extremely extend your spring mount and extended shackles. 63 alone will not get you where you want.

why not lower the front to match the current rear ride height? I think it look better being lower vs higher

 

So basically I took two trucks and made 1. I had and 04 with a 2.7 and blew it up. Then I bought a 03 and swap the straight axle over and went from there.
Thanks for the help.
