1" body lift on 2008 Tacoma

I've heard that a 1" body lift is a pretty safe amount to lift a body, this true? I only want 1" and nothing more other than the 2.5" front lift and maybe a 1/2 lift rear, with a block, to maintain factory ride type quality.

I've heard they are faily easy to intall and may only possibly require a spacer for the steering ball joint?

Since it's only 1", you guys think it would be ok for light wheeling?

 

the 5100's are very popular, i just did the toytec front spacer and the rear AAL to raise front 3" and rear 1 or 1.5".... don't know much about the body lift

 

just making sure that you want to use a 1 inch body lift on top of the 2.5 front suspension and 1/2 rear suspension lift

 

Yes. I will be lifting the front 3" and the rear 1/2 to 1". The 1" body lift will be in addition to that.

I probably wont do the body lift though. Think I'll just put that money towards the 6" Fabtech lift later down the road instead.

 

there is only a 3" body lift available i dont think there even is a 1" anyway. not for tacomas anyway.

 

Bumping this thread for info on anybody who makes a 1" body lift for the 2005+ Tacomas.

Looks as though Daystar makes them in 1" but only for older Tacomas.

Everything else I said in this thread is not only a year and a half old LOL but I'm doing RR King coilovers and King RR shocks.

But I am considering doing a 1" body lift (no more) after I level the coilovers with the factory height of the rear end. I'm going to wait until the coils are all dialed in, then see if I could use the added 1". I'm a little concerend that I could end up hitting the front fenders at full compression and ripping them off without the little extra clearnace, since I have 4" BS wheels.

Gonna wheel the piss out of it first, try to fully compress the front and see if it ripps the factory flares off first. If it doesn't then I won't need them. I'm just not sure yet if the front tires will arch in enough under comprseeion for the tires to miss the fender lip or not.

Another alternative would be the fiberglass fenders but think it would look goofy because they stick out 4" more than stock. On the other hand I would never come close to hitting them either.

 

i rub the hell out of my fenders when im wheeling and ive been trying so hard to find a 1" body lift for my taco

 

I heard people buy the 3 inch body lift and like customize and basically cut the 3 inch body lift spacer in half. Ive never seen it done b4 tho

 

i just sent an email to roger brown about building a custom 1" body lift with all grade 8 and top of the line products.

 

Here's a guy over at TTORA who has done a 1" BL

 

hmm... Interested....
TacomaTSP4- let me know how much the kit runs. Im interested in one too.

 

yea ive just contacted him...its not my main priority lol

 

Check this site out... Roger Brown is his name and can do a 1", 1.5", 2", 2.5", and a 3". The site is kind of hard to navigate but is very insightful.

Did anyone one here ever install a 1 or 1.5 body lift on 05+ Tacoma..
What all did the install intail, what all was needed that you couldnt get from Roger Brown / 4crawler?
Brackets etc...
Also what about if i want to keep my stock bumbers??
Thanks Guys

 

it would be awesome if someone could find something like it. I would buy it as long as its not like the $350 3'' body lifts. thats just to much money...

 

Yea I made a 1.5" custom body lift. It wasnt bad at all to do and it looks pretty good in my opinion. I will have some pics up soon and I am thinking about putting together a kit. If enough people are interested I'll sell them. I didn't need the steering extension for mine. Just had to make my own front and rear bumper brackets.

 

Hockey pucks???

 

Hahaha no 666 for me. I bought a rod of polyethylene and cut 1.5" pucks. Its the same stuff Roger Brown uses.

 

How much would you sell it for?
