Need Some Help Please

So I recently traded in my 05 tacoma for a 2011 4x4 tacoma that already had some upgrades done to it and I have a few questions as to what else I can do. It has SPC UCAs and King coilovers with front fiberglass and in the rear it has a bed cage with King triple bypass 3.0x16" shocks. My question is other than going to Long Travel what can I do to lift the front end a bit more(I know since its 4x4 im kind of limited) Not too much but just a tad bit like an Inch. It already seems like the front coilovers are extended to their max.....any ideas?? I have attached pics for reference

 

Sounds like you want to bro lean?
I would leave em. But you might see about a 1/4 spacer on the top hat if you have enough threads.

 

I don't necessarily want that much, just a tad bit more height in the front. Also due to the fact that my front coil overs seem to be extended pretty far. would adding that spacer and reducing the height adjustment on the front coil overs with the spacer make it ride better because it seems to ride stiff.....how does my truck look from your perspective?

 

I think it looks fine. Its going to be pretty stiff if you have them cranked down.
As far as loosening them and adding a very small spacer...i'm not sure.
I was waiting for some of the socal peeps to chime in.

 

Yeah lets see if anyone else chimes in on this. I appreciate your input though man, Thanks!

 

If it's the rake that you're not happy with, it would probably end up better for the handling of the truck and overall driveability to lower the rear instead of raising the front. If you just want to lift the front, you could install a heavier spring on the coilover...

 

How would that be possible.....Im not suspension expert but since I am running a bed cage in the rear and have 3.0x16" triple bypass kings how could i change the rear end? Different size shock? Like I said Im not the most knowledgeable when it somes to suspension. I just have somewhat decent knowledge. Fuck I sound dumb

 

@MadTaco461 got any advice for mister want bro lean with coil overs already cranked going to kill his shocks guy?

 

That. I don't actually see much shift in the CV at the angles you've provided... On mine the fins are just barely about to touch yours appear to be pretty close to stock. Springs could be under-weight for that plate bumper? How many miles did he put on that suspension?

 

the rear lift doesn't come from the shocks, it comes from the leaf pack, shackles, lift blocks ect.

 

I only have an AAL

 

Installing a shackle flip kit can often get 2-4" of lift depending on geometry and size of shackles.

 

I bought the truck with them on it and put 10k miles on it so far. Im having them rebuilt in 2 weeks. The plate bumper is steel so that might call for different springs. This is why is posted this. Your guys' advice helps alot.

 

I see. I will definitely look into getting those. I already am planning to get a 4x4 LT kit at the end of the year just havent decided on which yet. Camburg, Total Choas, Dirt Designs or Engage...

 

Problem is: King (and many distributors) will build your shocks to your spec, so if the asked for a lighter spring for some reason...

I think we need a full understanding of your suspension before it's as simple as "just install a spacer"

... Which by the way don't fucking do that.

 

Shackles are at the ends of the leaf springs on the rear. That would explain a 3-4" lift with just an add a leaf spring.

It would also be the only way to make it worth it if you're gonna run an aggressive shock setup with stock leaf springs... although it's only half done.

 

Hahaha thanks for that man, you have me dying over here with that comment. They were like that when i bought the truck. And No i dont want that huge bro lean at all.

 

I dont plan on doing that at all because it will just bring more issues to the table. Here is what i am running right now....front suspension is king coilovers with SPC upper arms and rear is AAL with bed cage and 3.0x16" triple bypass kings.

 

I see what you're saying. I plan on revamping the entire suspension setup to make it ride better. And getting a 4x4 LT kit. I appreciate the response man

 

Whatever you do, don't get rid of the bed cage... It's a good start.
