Lift Kit

Hey guys, I'm new to this TacomaWorld thing but I am putting a 6-inch spindle and strut lift on my Taco and was wondering if I need to get extended brake lines installed as well. Also, do I need to replace the factory UCAs too?

 

Sorry. You are going 6in up. From factory?

 

Yes sorry, Im taking out the leveling kit and putting the bigger strut in.

 

May want to include the specifics as to what kit your doing and everything that's included. That will get you clearer answers. Ontop of alot of why go 6" questions

 

If you raise the front no higher than 2in.
No changes to parts other than the coil overs.

higher than 2in you will need a new UCA, past 3in you will need a new wallet.

 

It's a 2wd spindle lift. The rules are different.

 

Money's not an issue but I'm doing 6 inch because I don't really do a whole lot of off roading so It'll mainly be for the looks. Plus i'm a taller guy so it sucks having to squat to get into my truck lol.

 

Oh darn.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure the rules are different between 4wd and Rwd. with dropping the front components and stuff

 

Who makes a 6” spindle?

 

4" spindle lift (I.E., MaxTrac) + 2" shock lift (I.E., Bilstein 5100, etc.).

2" lift via the shocks is right on the line whether you'll need UCAs or not... Can't hurt to add them at that height, but it'll mainly depend on what your alignment (caster angle) can be set to that will determine whether you actually need them or not (too-low caster numbers can cause it to wander on the highway / poor directional stability / poor steering return-to-center).
