No. They are at wheelers offroad though i think. You can see them at chaosfab.com There was also a group buy going on here. Not sure if its still going.

The coils are nice because they provide lift by means of the coil. Its a much better ride. The spacers give lift by preloading the shocks and coils. That gives a rough ride and is worse on your truck. Thats why its so cheap.

 

Oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

I would still need the diff drop then correct?

 

yes you can wait, uca's are not a necessity. but will definitely improving handling capability

check wheelersoffroad.com for the total chaos uca's

i think the km2's come in one different, smaller load range check tirerack.com and yes the bigger load range will result in a heavier tire thus hurting mpg, power, and a bit stiffer ride

ome coils ride better than a top plate spacer. an ome coils is a longer than stock coil so that is how you obtain your lift. a top plate spacer compresses your stock coils, so you get a stiffer ride and your coil thens to sag prematurely

 

Are you 4x4? If not then no. If yes, then im not sure. Im not familiar with diff drops since im a prerunner. But i know that some people do and some dont.

 

yes i would recommend the diff drop to help preserve the life of your cv boots and joints...if you are 4x4 that is

 

lucky you, wish i didnt have to worry about cv joints and boots

 

I'm 2010 2wd pre-runner....don't want to cause abnormal angles on CV joints and/or uneven wear on tires...

 

you dont have cv joints on your pre runner, so dont worry about the diff drop

 

Ill trade you I would like 4x4.

 

id take you up on that if i didnt need a 4x4 for the winter months...wish there was a way to have a 4x4 on these tacos without cv joints

 

haha figure that out and i bet you would be rich! My next taco will be 4x4 for sure.

 

ok my ambien kicked in and its' hard to see and understand, why dont i have cv joints, lack of 4x4

 

i can only dream lol...gotta admit though my 4x4 has save my hiney more than once in the winter

 

Thanks, looks like 285/70/17 comes in one load range only. Its a popular tire on TW, and the ride quality should be decent. Good luck with your lift.
I have been very happy with the Icons and UCA's but that stuff is pricey!!

 

haha i just had my ABC on lifts they guys at the shop... were going to rip me off. Now a I have a better idea to whats the right lift... i just checked the tc uca's and i will go for those.... i guess i rather wait one more week to get everything together... one more thing how much should i pay for the labor?

 

??????

Are you 4x4? if so, you have them.

 

yes you do not have cv joints bc you have a 2wd...correct me if im wrong jd, but cv joints help transmit power/torque to the wheels on 4x4 vehicles and front wheel drive vehicles

 

jkeller and meteorman --- i had a fabtech 6" with upgraded shocks with 35'' toyo mt's on 20" wheels for about 30k miles on a F150 supercrew ....then the right bearing hub broke ( not under warrant) of course....down here we dont need 4x4 just air conditioning!
