    So after months of research I think I have settled on my lift components but I was hoping a few of you could "check my math". They are as follows:

    BFG T/A KO2 265/70/17
    Fox Factory Series 2.5 Coilovers/extended travel. Adjusted to 2" of lift
    Total Chaos Uniball Upper Control Arms
    Fox 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks w/reservoir. Adjusted to 0" of lift.
    Firestone Ride-Rite rear airbags. I must have for truck camper.

    Please let me know what you all think???

    Seems solid to me! However as far as the airbags go I wouldn't by any means say they are necessary. I have a shell and often have hundreds of pounds in the rear. All I did was get some AAL, no problem what so ever and can handle the progressive load.

    My truck camper will be around 1200lbs fully loaded so the bags truly are a must.

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road. Extremely knowledgeable, and good prices on parts. She can give you great insight as too all the different companies and components.

    My setup:
    King 2.5" Coilovers standard travel
    King 2.5" rear shocks
    Factory leafs and UCA's
    Sumo springs in the rear(great airbag alternative)

    What a fun truck!
    You have an OR version of the Tacoma. This comes with 16" rims/wheels. If you buy 265/70/17's then they won't fit your stock rims/wheels. Are you getting new wheels as well? @amosalan58

    Yes, new black wheels as well. Just haven't decided on them. Also, I have already talked with Marie at Headstrong. Going to get coilovers, uca's, and rear shocks from her.

    I'm going to have a lot of new OEM parts coming off this truck that I am going to sale if anyone is interested. OEM 16'' wheels, 265 tires, 5'' black tube steps, all weather floor liners, black "Tacoma" rubber bed liner, front and rear Bilstine shocks, and UCA's. Tell all your friends! I'll even ship some stuff.

    What's the plan for rear lift? Those shocks are meant for a 2"+ rear lift...

    Rear shocks don't lift and don't adjust.

    I just ordered this same setup (minus the air bags plus Dakar) from headstrong. They were just as great to work with as everyone says. Just throwing that out there.
