Fabtech, ProComp 6" lift or more. Pictures

What do you guys use for extended brake lines or replacing your factory brake lines after your 6” lift. Links appreciated. Mine is a 07 dclb trd sport with 6” fabtech lift (bought truck with the lift already installed), swapped shocks to rcd 5100 and bilstein 5125, kept rear block with Dakars. I think I need new lines as my Brakes are feeling mushy/spongy and sometimes scary when coming down hill or riding the brakes crawling down hill. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

Procomp = wet whipes.

 

I finally get to post in this thread, after lurking for a while. I recently picked up a 19 TRD OR 4x4 DCSB. It already had a Pro Comp lift, and 22x12 wheels with 33x12.5 Toyo Open Country MT.
It looks to have the the factory front Coil and Shock with a large spacer, and pro Comp shocks + spacer in the rear. At some point I will upgrade all this.
I also do not like the wheels on there, and am trying to decide if I should get new wheels in the same size, or potentially 20x12. I will likely stick with 33x12.5 tires, as I do not want to deal with regearing for 35's.

 

What does this mean?

 

It means he can't spell "wipes".

 

I have a 2012 taco with a fabtech 6" lift and the Bilstein front shocks with custom perch to take the front shock spacer off. I need to replace my rear shocks now though. I previously replaced them with procomps.

Does anyone know the right part number to go with Bilsteins or something like that on a 6" lift rear shocks?

 

I just ordered these exact ones from Headstrong Off-road and the part number was f4-be5-e122. Headstrong was amazing to do business with and fast shipping. I think they had the best prices too at the time. Hope this helps shocks are excellent

 

Man those are nice, I have them on mines in the front. I'm trying to buy matching rears though!

 

Oh my bad I did put the fronts on there the rears I ordered are F4-BE5-B110-T5 from headstrong we’re $219

 

Nice! And these fit with a 6" lift? Thanks man!

 

These rear shocks are for 3-4 inches of rear lift. The lift my truck has is 6 inch front and 4 inch block in the rear

 

Been hearing I can only go with a 18inch wheel on the fabtech 6inch lift due to the tie rods. Is this true or can certain 17inch wheels work? TIA!

 

I can’t speak for fabtech but I was able to go with a 17 inch wheel in a -6 offset with my rough country 6 inch lift with no clearance issues. You might be able to get by with wheel spacers or a more negative offset wheel to clear I just had to have 4.5-5 inches of backspacing according to the rough country website.

 

Here’s what it looks like with 275-70-17 falkens -6 offset 17 wheels

 

I love those automatic steps. Thanks for sharing. I opted for a 3" lift but I told them I see a 6" lift in my future and this is my guideline. I also planned on getting the supercharger and tune to pair with my 5.29's. They tried talking me down to 4.88 and I just blank faced them until they never mentioned it again.

 

17x9 -12 XD wheels and I ended up running Spidertrax spacers on all 4 corners shortly after I did my lift. That tierod end was basically touching the wheel (like 1mm off and somehow someway I had a slight groove in the inside of the wheel). You can also shave down the tierod ends slightly just taking off excess material as some guys have done. The issue remember is because you flip the tirerod position when you do the drop bracket. 18" youre for sure in the clear.

 

Pro Comp 6” lift
35s on 18” wheels (no struggles going up hills with load THANKS to HPtune )

Alright here we go!! Fresh 315 70 r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W!!! 6” zone RCD Bilstein 5100, 620 coils, 1/2” toytec top plate spacer, SPC UCAs could not be happier with where my alignment is at finally!! It’s crazy I’ve been on a 6 inch now for over 35,000 miles!

 

My new Fox 2.5 CO with DSC and 16" Eibach 700lb Coils valved and tuned arrived from John at Accutune. still waiting on Fox to ship my rear Fox 2.5 w/DSC to Accutune so they can build, valved, and tune.
