    I took it to west coast off-road in north van. Awesome, awesome guys. Very knowledgeable and professional, I highly recommend them.

    Oh sorry….. North Van, I just assumed it was NSOR. Great to hear WCOR are solid to deal with. I’m looking to do something similar to my long box Sport in the future. I was surprised they suggested something other than Bilsteins 5100’s. Moving from the Sport long box suspension I’m interested in better off-road suspension performance but not necessarily a large lift. Maybe 1-1.5”

    Keep us updated on how it performs and any follow up issues you may have.

    All good.

    Why were you surprised that they didn’t suggest 5100s? First of all bilstein makes shocks for all sorts of vehicles, passenger cars, trucks, vans etc. Their R&D budget is stretched pretty thin, whereas companies such as OME, kings or fox’s only specialize in off-road shocks. The OME kit that I got actually was engineered specifically for a 3rd gen tacoma, including the rear dobinsons leafs.

    I’m not saying 5100s are bad, actually it’s a pretty good shock. It’s just there are better shocks for the price. Also, the ride on the 5100s won’t be as good as the ride on OME shocks for example. When you lift using a shock, you must preload the spring, making the ride a bit rough. OME kit uses a spring to lift the front and the springs were designed to work with that specific shock.

    I would say you can easily do 2” lift without harming anything, my cv angles are almost flat. I’ll take a picture tomorrow.


    I installed trd skid plate yesterday! Looks great. Pretty sure I needed to install the spacers, gonna put them in on friday.

    Hey man, I'm local as well and have been shopping around for a similar lift. Mind sharing total cost after taxes and everything? Can PM if you'd like. Also did you do the ECGS bushing? I know it's not really necessary on a 2/1 lift.

    Thank you sir!

    I find every excuse to go drive it, even after 3.5 years! Definitely the best vehicle I’ve ever owned.

    Hey Serge, do you have part numbers for the kit components you used?

    Awesome, thanks for the all the details. Much appreciated. Just assumed from reading here that 5100's are the go to for a budget upgrade from stock suspension. Especially from the Sport's Hitachi shocks and tuned suspension.

    Good to know about the OME kit designed specifically for the 3rd gen and a better choice. I like the idea. Also, I better not show the wife the price break down that you generously provided as she is surprisingly the driver of modifying the truck and wanting to explore even deeper out there. I'm dragging my feet because of the warranty period. I agree the TRD skid always looks awesome. Common parking lots suck and your spot looks tight there! Look forward to more photos. Thanks again for sharing!
