First Gen Taco, Front Lift help.

OK I'm new at this forum thing but I thought I'd give it a shot. I've got a 03 taco 4x4 and I need to do something with the front end. I recently had a guy pull out in front of me and messed up my front end a little bit, short story is he was wrong and I got some money to "fix" my truck. But why "fix" when you can up grade and not send the money to a mechanic. Soooo got everything put together and added the massive ARB Bull Bar cause why not and now I have front end sag . . . . bad. So my thing is I want to up grade my front struts and coils but can't find a simple kit that's not at least 4 figures, and yes I know I'ma need to upgrade the upper control arms and other things in there. Now for my question. Where can I find a kit or just the parts I need to lift and handle the new found weight of the bumper and winch and lights, around 150lbs. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you. And if you want to see my baby's reconstruction and face lift lemme know.

 

Shouldn't need UCAs on a 1st gen. Look into Old Man Emu. If you're not lifting the back at all, Nitrocharges and 881s should get you only an inch or so of lift with that weight. 882s or 883s if you want more lift.

For the weight I wouldn't reccomend 5100s and compressing stock coils, which I'm guessing someone here will reccomend. But I've hand no issues with 5100s and old man emu coils as well.

 

The back is already lifted 4 inches the front has 2 inch coil/strut spacers, so id like to lift the front 3 or 4 inches as well.

 

Then go with 882s if you want a softer ride/more flex or 883s is you want stiffer ride/better road manners.

 

OK thanks, do you have a recommend seller?

 

I've had nothing but good experiences from Wheelers Offroad.

 

Thanks I'll be checking them out.

 

Hey, Check us out.( ) We have a Bilstein Coilover design that gives you up to 3" of Lift. In your case I would get them with 650lb Coil Springs to accommodate for the front bumper. When you order the Coilovers ($799 a Pair) you get 10% off our Uni Ball designed Upper Control Arms.
