    Thanks. It rides like stock or better on the road. I found a dirt trail in the marsh by where I work but there wasnt anything bumpy. I'll take the truck out to a small off road park by my house sunday and test it out. Im hopefully getting my sliders welded on today to.

    sweet! can't wait to hear about it. Do you know if the dakars improve the towing capacity at all?

    actually, I started some searching on this and it looks like they just barely maintain existing stock towing capacity. Still don't know if that's with stock shocks or not.

    Terminology is everything. You're truck will only be able to tow up to the max recommended trailer and tongue weights, simply because the frame, hitch, drive train, and braking systems are the same. So, no additional towing capacity.

    However, the Dakars are designed for expedition over-landing. They will take A LOT of weight in the bed of the truck for extended periods of time while off road. All your water, fuel, camping gear, bikes, tents, etc., no problem.

    I hauled 1000lbs of sand in the bed back to my house for my sons sandbox. The springs settled in for the ride about 1/2" - 3/4", and the truck handled like a dream.

    If you haven't already, consider picking up a set of extended bumps from Wheelers. At least if you grossly overload the springs they wont get into negative arch and potentially get damaged.

    I just bought a 2014 DC Off Road, where can I order a lift kit? Pro Com doesn't carry it yet.

    This is my second build so i knew what I wanted. Toytec has great stuff. With a lift you get what you pay for. Please dont put blocks and spacers on a new 2014 double cab offroad. If you have any questions their customer service is great.

    This is the kit I got but I upgraded to the 5160's in the back and the dakar complete leaf pack. Its still a good kit with 5100s and a add a leaf (basic kit).
    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/...ers_p_364.html

    This is a cheaper lift some people choose to do. Its a good kit.
    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/...ons_p_233.html

    If you want something for just offroading this is probably the most popular kit on tacoma world for offroading.

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/...kit_p_231.html
    Good luck and start a build page. I'll follow your build.

    Got the rock sliders welded on. My wife thinks they are steps.

    There nice. They definitly slow the recoil of the dakar leaf pack down. The truck feels as smooth or smoother than the stock ride with a 3 inch lift. So Im happy.

    Thanks. I've been losing sleep for months over going with the same setup you have or going with fox. I know fox is a bit of overkill but idk haha

    Im really happy with my setup. I did a lot of research for a year when I had my old truck. so when I got the new truck I knew exactly what I wanted. When it comes to suspension it depends on what you are using it for. My truck is an on road truck that can handle the offroad. 95% of my miles will be on the road. I dont have a need for fox shocks. I think you are paying for the brand anyway with fox.

    I'm in the same boat, not sure if ICON's or 5100/5160's will be a better fit for me, I plan on doing long expeditions with the truck and living in East TX it will see way more highway than trails (I'm looking at at least a 6 hour drive to get to nice trails).
