About to pull the trigger... On a 3" lift

13' DCLB tacoma 4x4

I have been searching through this forum for awhile now, trying to gather as much information as I can and it's been very helpful in making a descision on a lift.

I know I want coilovers. Toytec ulk sounds good, but I've read on here people end up upgrading to icons, hating the way the toytec ulk rode like. I've decided to build this truck once not over and over again. I don't do any hardcore wheeling, just through some tight trails up in the mountains and the occasional muddin. but this is my daily so comfort on and offroad is what I am going for.

Heres what I plan on getting:

Icon coilovers. Extended travel? I don't know if I can run this w/o LT kit
LR UCA
Rear Bilstein 5160 resi
Leafs?

Has anyone put together a similar kit? Not sure on what leaf set up to run. I don't tow/haul heavy loads (yet) and where can I find some good deals on these? I just missed out on the $32.00 LR UCA... Toytec seems to have pretty good prices with the tw discount added. Any info would be great.

Thanks.

 

If you're going to the expense of icon coilovers in the front, you should replace the leaf pack in the back. OME Dakar or All Pro Expedition, depending on how much weight you're keeping in the bed.

Extended travel only works with a new upper control arm designed to give more droop, and I'm not at all sure the light racing UCA qualifies. You'd also do longer front brake lines.

 

I don't ever have anything in the back maybe a tool box and that's about it. And that's good to know about the extended ones I'll probably get the reg coilovers. I'm getting leafs just didn't know what kind I was going to get yet. I know dakars and all pro are the top ones to get when having heavy loads but is there any a step below that, that's still a good setup without the beefiness of the dakars? Who knows I might just get the dakars or all pro ones. Lol.

 

I really like the wheelers 8 leaf alcan pack.
