    I have been researching lifts on here and am thinking about going with the OME lift

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/OME-Tacoma-Suspension-lift-kit_p_231.html

    with the 90021 front shocks, the 885 coils (I have a double cab), adding the top plate spacers, and the 2" add a leafs.

    I was wondering if anybody has had any issues running up to a 285/75/R16 tire, and is it necessary for me to replace my uca's. If it is I was thinking about getting the light racing uca's, any input on these is also greatly appreciated!

    Yes sir
    Looks good to me, rear shocks? I run 285/70/R17's and they rub on the mud flaps and a bit of the front fender. You can trim the fender and remove the mud flaps if it bothers you a lot. I only rub at full wheel turn so I can't say I really care a ton. Check out this thread about OME:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/old-man-emu-questions-answers-pictures.258245/

    I'd get the LR UCA's since with a lift it's tough to get back into alignment. The LR UCA's work really well to get your alignment correct again. Check out this thread for the UCA's: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...driving-report-with-light-racing-ucas.158795/

    I'm running 887 coils and an add-a-leaf as well as 90021's and N182's. I also have LR UCA's and am very pleased so far! Good luck!

    Thanks! The whole kit comes with the 60091 rear shocks, they're the "sport" shocks. I don't really know what the difference is between the sport and the nitro charger shocks.

    Also, I am planning on keeping my stock wheels. Should I get a set of wheel spacers for any reason?

    if you're keeping stock rims, you'll need the wheel spacers for those tires to clear the upper control arm.

    Yes sir
    The 60091's are just the new rear shock, N182's are just being fazed out for the newer shock.

    You should, I have 1/4" spacers right now and was thinking about going to spidertrax 1.25" spacers but I'm picking up some new rims in July so I'll just get them with the proper offset and backspacing. But like I said, a lot of guys are running spidertrax 1.25" spacers, if your spacers are too large you'll just rub in different places, so I'd go 1.25". Try searching around on here for guys with 1.25" spacers and 33's to see how it will look as well as what they have to say, I can't think of any off the top of my head.
