Alabama thread!

Yes, it would be. Spend enough time on this site, and you'll be itching to do it.

If you just want to level it out, get yourself a set of Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks. Downsouthmotorsports sells them for about $160 a pair. You can set these to 0", 1.5", or 2.5" (1.5" in your case) to level you out while not destroying your ride quality to bad.


What you'll have to do from there will depend on what size tire you want to run.

 

or just keep an eye on the site and get a set of used wheels for cheap. also i dont know if i would recommend the 5100 route on springs that have 140,000 miles on them. and a set of new springs wont cost much at all. heck watch the site and you can get them for $100 or less most times. then get your 5100's and you will be good to go. least that is my .02 search the site and buy used to save $ if you want the best of both worlds.

 

details on components? xlt? lariat? how many miles?

 

XLT /w offroad and chrome packages, 3.73 rear gears + locker, backup sensor, electric adjustable pedals, sync but no touch screen, supercrew obviously, came with a roll-n-lock tonneau, step in tailgate, no bedliner. 73k miles. Tow package, rated for 9000-something pounds (although I know that's a huge overestimate), 7/4-pin in hitch but no integrated brake controller.

 

very nice.

 

alright guys I bought an fj I love this vehicle just got my lift kit in so its mod time for sure

 

Maybe not pics, but what are the specs on the audi power-wise? I'm just curious, I like them.

Dave is right, although if you end up wanting to lift OME is probably a better deal, rides pretty stiff though.

And thus we have yet another ex-tacoma owner in this thread.

 

dont listen to the hater..... not sure he has even ridden in a truck with an OME setup.... OME is actually a good bit better than the billy/eibach combo. and far superior to stock.

i have had (so far) spacer lift with a block, then billies/eibach with an aal, then ome 885's and ome shocks with a single aal, then with a progressive aal, now with dakars. and i can assure you the ome's dont ride poorly. they are still smoother riding than stock. as long as you dont run 886's on a reg cab.

 

The OMEs won't ride like the pricy adjustable coilovers, that's all. However, if you want to do 2-2.5" lift and want to keep it cheap, definitely do OME over bilsteins + springs from what I have heard. I'd only do billies personally for a very mild lift or no lift.

 

What? Dudes asking, I'm giving my input, you're giving yours. The rear of my truck was OME anyway, FWIW.

 

I think there is going to be more non-tacos than tacos in here soon.
