Blue Taco Build

What size wheel and tires are you running?

 

15x8 wheels, with 33x12.5 tire

 

Love those tires and wheels man!!! But yeah, you'll get some serious rubbing on the fenders and maybe even frame.

I have a 3" body lift that i would like to get rid of, but it seems like alot of work. Im still pondering it these days. The only thing i have against body lifts is the high center gravity and the fact that the bushings get worn out. You can always hide the looks of the BL with sliders and stuff. But its up to you, start by cutting your fenders maybe?

 

i cut some of the liners out and trimmed the bumper, but at full lock it hits the body, im thinking 2 inch body lift. all i would have to do is refit the bumpers, and install the steering extender. i dunno if the shifter or the fan shroud need to be modified tho with a 2 inch...

 

Don't ruin ur truck with a bodylift. It looks sweet. Have u considered trimming your fenders and or wheel spacers?

 

i kno spacers will most likely fix the issue.... but my tires already stick out enough. im way too familiar with this issue

i hammered down all the body seams on my 240. it looks like im going to be doing the same on the yota, my front left tire hits it pretty bad. im going to hammer them all down tomorrow and see how it goes. i dont really want to lift it more than i have to because i think the stance looks good right now. but I guess another option would be eibach coils and like a 1 inch rear shackle to even it out.

 

Yeah put the eibachs and some springs and you'll clear those tires no prob

 

Go die in a hole

 

well just ordered eibach springs and daystar 1.25 greaseable shackles from wheelers.

also thinking about doing all 4 ball joints....any recommendations of where to get some good quality and hopefully cheap ones?

 

more lift installed! rubbing issue is completely gone. im quite happy with the height and current setup

 

Truck looks great.

That's an awesome color.. Is it just me or are blue 1st gens rarely seen?

 

mine is the only one ive seen in person. seen a few others online but thats it

 

lift looks good you have a lot of rust though

 

What kind of springs, shocks, and shackles did you put in the rear?

 

wheelers 5 leaf with their aal, the daystar 1.25 greaseable shackles and skyjacker 3'' lift shocks

 

Nice, how much lift did the wheelers 5 and aal give you without the shackles? I wondering if ill need some shackles with my All pro 3" leafs.

 

around 2.5 inches. i never busted out a tape measure tho

but also my exhaust split in half today. the big shackle was hitting my tailpipe over bumps and causing to much stress on an already rusted system. going to get a quote tomorrow on a full custom exhaust with a magnaflow

 

There is a post around here showing a taco that had a body lift. Short story the tram and truck were no longer one. I think tigerfan posted it.

 

Mickey Thompson classic locks? Btw bad ass truck!!
