2002 Tacoma with 280,000 miles and big tires. Just got for my daughter.

Agreed

 

They are definitely hitting the frame, one spot looks like it’s beautifully polished silver

 

You'll want to buy this kit: 04005-03235 it is a kit Toyota made during the LBJ recall of both right and left LBJ and saves you about $100 over buying them independently.

And the screws are Qty 8 of 90119-10933

~$190 for LBJs and ~$20 for bolts.

 

One more thing, it is on a 3 inch lift. Somebody was right they are round spacers. A the ball joint arms, etc. the same as originally usually or not?

 

Thank you for that, I’m heading to work, but I’ll be back later

 

Look at the last post I just did. It was a question about all the ball joints, are they the same as stock with that lif.

 

Nice truck! Can I interest you in adopting an older child?

 

Then you have wrong wheels for that... you get new wheel with some offset.. or you can get wheel spacers for each wheel.

 

How about different size tires and if so, what would you do and size? The Rams are pretty nice.

 

I would just downsize the tire if it were me. Wheel spacers are another option too. Only get Spidertrax or Bora brands. 1.25” spacers are typically the most common.

 

I am still at stock size... I haven't upgraded the tires yet. When I do, I plan to get 285.

What Rams are you talking about? If you talk about the pic above my username on the left pane, then it is not a Ram.. It's a Tacoma with aftermarket headlight.

Or you meant your rims, then If you want to keep those, then you can either downsize the tire size to whatever you want or get wheel spacers.

Up to you.

 

You have a body lift, that changes nothing on the suspension. Are you saying it also has a 3" suspension lift? Pictures of the front coilovers would help.

 

I was talking about my rims which are 18 looks like I will just downsize the tires

 

I just took these photos in the dark, let me know if that’s what you were getting at? Thank you.

 

CV angles look like there is some kind of suspension lift. Stock shocks, could have a top load spacer or some type of lift coil. At least a 3" body lift too.

 

Im conservative admittedly.

But those CV axle angles are pretty rough. The fine of the boots are almost all touching.

And it probably has a spacer lift.

The ride quality with that set up must be awful.

 

It’s a little rough riding but not that bad. And the tires are noisy. But it rides straight and no clicking noise from the steering while driving.. I did a quick test to move the tire up and down and it seemed tight but that was under load. Not jacked up. So obviously I’m green that’s why I’m on here. I’m just trying to figure out if I need to change the ball joints, tire size etc. I have no clue. All the spacing and rubbing on the lift kit is kind of beyond me

 

Isn’t photo number two approximately a 3 inch spacer lift?
