MARYLAND TACOMAS

Oh drat. If only swapping the front and you’ve never done it before, I’d say 3 hours.

 

Replaced my spacer lift with 5100 Bilsteins all around and Toytec springs. About a 3in lift.. will tell myself again that "this is the last time i do suspension"

 

Is that your own two post lift?

 

Can you please tell me exactly what parts will get you a 3" lift this way? I am just curious what this costs compared to a full OME & Dakar swap. Also, did you do UCAs, shims, ECGS or Carrier Bearing?

 

2 Post lift is not mine. My buddy just got it installed at his place up in Shrewsbury. I am in the process of building a new house and am getting some extra high ceilings in the garage so hope to get either a 2 post lift or just a floor scissor lift myself at some point.


I did a little weird solution to get to this but pretty much this is it

Toytect Eibach Coils which adds 1.6inch lift up front (they also have a spring package for all around front and rears.. i just needed fronts)

then I got Bilstein 5100 shocks and set the front to the 2nd from the top notch which i think is a little above 1.5in lift in the front? equaling the front lift to a little over 3in with the coils

in the rear i did Bilstein 5100 shocks set at stock height and left in my 3in spacer lift and stock springs

Also got this to replace the existing bushings and strut mount. Was nice to get everything together and built before even touching the car so the install was fairly simple

This saved me a little money then going straight Toytec Coils. I think all together it was probably around $700. Rides great. I will probably get UCAs in the future.

 

Sounds smart and very economical! Thank you for the information.

 

So I'm back in MD. When we going camping?

 

You forgot to have some beers handy!

 

Also got a call from 4wheelparts for their grand opening.. Never purchased from them. They must have bought a list from someone. Saw others on here also got a call.

 

You were gone ?

 

Whats Gucci MD, anyone near Columbia. Need new friends since I moved out here from Cali.

 

I'm close to Columbia. At least with me driving lol

 

Nice! Anyone up for a meet this weekend. Coffee network!

 

Some guys were talking about a meet up (not sure what time) at the 4Wheel Parts Grand Opening in Glen Burnie. Also there is a supposed to be a huge swap meet up in Pa but the weather might wash that out, or already has.

 

Nice is that today? Anyone?

 

The 4Wheel Parts opening (even though they have been open for a while) is tomorrow. The swap meet is, or was, or maybe is Sunday.

 

Anyone else taking advantage of this break in winter lol

 

Sexy wheel you got there ~.^

 

Nice undercarriage wash system. Might have to give that a try!

 

Why yes I am by sitting on my ass with a cold one
