96 baby blue Tacoma

Lucky. Id take that any day over being stuck inside for days on end.

 

2 year old son loves the truck. Everyday when we turn in the driveway he says daddy there’s my truck haha

 

All the lift info can be found in my thread on the 5lug section

 

I was thinking
Fabtech 4” spindles and rebuild the front end while I’m there
Remove the 2” drop block I installed in the rear
New general springs springs
And if needed 2” shackles

Just wanna fit a 31x10.50 on a 15x8 wheel and not have to do a bunch of trimming.

 

31” will require alot trimming and pounding. The recommend size with the fabtech spindles is 30x9.5 with some trimming

 

Yeah I wasn’t sure what to go with. Just wanna be able to pull my trailer without it squatting so bad. And maybe cruise some dirt roads and power lines with my son

What would be a good set of springs to go with?

 

Doestch tech makes a lift kit. Thats what i run. Uhm there is a guy on here selling his old setup I believe. Would have to fund his name.

 

Yeah they also seem to be cheaper than fabtech

 

Their kit is exactly what fabtech use to sell

 

What would be a step above oem
As far as shocks?

 

Well if you want you can get the Doestch coils and ucas. But you will need their shocks. If you run just spindles then run like bilsten 4600

 

Yeah I had some Billy’s on my ranger years ago prob go that route. They rode good

 

30” light bar installed



Junkyard s 10 u bolts so I can remove my 2” drop block



Anybody know if I can run a 2” coil spacer up front to level it back up some since I removed the back block. I know it will effect my ride quality and there frowned apon on here but I’ve ran them before no issues. Looking at a solid steel welded coil spacer. Main issue is my brake lines. Would they be long enough for now or would I need to replace the brake lines with steel braided extended lines?

Also are 6 lug and 5 lug coil spacers the same? Would a six lug spacer fit my 5 lug coil spring?

 

Probably gonna throw a rod

 

Man that sucks. It was such a clean looking little truck. It looks like its sad and frowning.

 

Tonight

 

Just gotta get a emblem for the grill and weld on my new 02 sensor flange. Also installed led headlights in my recently acquired second gen

 

New oil cap since the old one is dry rotted

 

Nice looking Yota! What headlights did you get to replace the sealed beam units?
