Buy once, cry once?

Whats up guys. I'm new to this forum and still pretty new to the tacoma life as well. I have been a Jeep guy most of my life but that just wasn't working out for me anymore. Needed a truck bed, a more comfortable ride, and decent gas mileage. Anyways, to the point of my thread. My 2010 TRD Sport is completely stock as of now but I'm wanting to give myself a little more ground clearance and a better appearance. I'm stuck between using 5100s to level the truck and going all in with a 3" OME lift. I don't do any hardcore wheeling and don't really plan to either but I'd like the truck to be somewhat capable. For the most part my truck will be used for camping, fishing, hunting, exploring, I guess you could call it a mild overland build. In the beginning everyone who asked "What are you gonna do to the truck?" got the "Nothing major, maybe a leveling kit if that" response. So thats where the truck got the name Major "Nothing Major". Thanks for your help and suggestions. I'm all ears!

 

All in with OME

 

Ome FTMFW

 

After putting OME stuff on my buddies 4 runner, and running OME monotube shocks on the rear of my truck and comparing them to the 5100s on the front of my truck, stick with tbe bilstiens. Their quality is much better.


That stated, if i had to do a similar lift (~2in all around on my truck) I would NOT go with 5100's but instead id go with the 6112's in the front and probably 5160's in the rear (or 5100's). The 5100's ride on my truck is absolutely great, no complaints, but for not a while lot more the 6112's are going to be even better, way better than OME stuff, and they come with coils.

 

Good lord, what do Jeeps get for MPG if you think the Tacoma has decent gas mileage?

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road Marie will show you the light.

 

I get a couple miles better than my Jeep did but not by much. Its still decent

 

I get great mileage if I am just crawling in my POS Heep.

 

Great shot!

 

Here is my setup, FOX UP 2.0 and SPC. It has been a good setup for me and not too hard on the pocket book.

 

Do it right the first time, please avoid spacers and blocks, you'll thank yourself.

 

Kings and long travel.

You'll cry for a while though. Until you hit that bump at 50mph and send it. Then it'll be all smiles.

 

Most definitely

 

Kings or go home

 

Welcome to the forum @nothingmajor_tacoma If there is anything I can help you with just let me know

Thank you again @boogie3478

 

skip all that, get some total chaose UCA ( upper control arms) some fox shocks. tryto keep the tire size below 33 inches so u dont eat up too much more gas. dont waste your time doing a leveling kit or someshit that will ruin your new smoother ride.

 

King>Fox

I had Foxes too

Old:

New:

 

yes i agree king is superior to fox but it hits the wallet so much harder xD but damn you got a nice set up jelllllyyyyyy

 

Yes it does

 

I bought OME as a budget choice for off-road.

Wish I spent more. I like to off-road. I like to go fast. OME is stiff.

Want Kings/Fox/Icon/ADS instead.
