Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

I think there were issues with the rear shock mounts on the 2015's, but could work with some grinding.

 

For your biggest concerns

If you think you may get vibes buy a few sets of different degree axle shims... Cv wear is an easy fix... Just do the boot slide mod. Link provided.

Not sure on the rear shocks on a 2015 but on my 11 it was a BITCH to get into the lower shock mount... I actually has to trim the bushing a bit to get it all the way in.

Also why LR UCAs? Why not just spend the extra money and get TCs... You can get them from Down south motorsports with a TW discount if you message Micah on here.

 

Has anyone considered running two of the

$77 D29XL Leaf Spring

D29XL extra leafs on one side to help with Tacoma lean with extra load like a full gas tank?

 

Nope. Would run a small shim before running a while leaf. The truck would be leaning the other way with two leafs on two sides.

 

Yo , trying to change to 886, where did you find this info

 

I would like to swap to 887.

 

Yea I don't think this is a real thing. In my case I don't think they're going to let me swap free of charge, which sucks cuz I was under the impression I could swap if I wanted

 

just got my kit! OME 885 with 5100s. Prerunner dclb. Gonna try with stock uca. Wish me luck!

 

You should be fine. I'm at 2.5" with stock UCA's no problems. Good luck and have fun. Will you be installing it yourself?

 

ARB auburn, WA 8am-5pm (425) 264-1391 hit them up if you can talk to a guy name erik herman he is the guy I talk to about it I had to take pics and what not to let him know how my truck was sitting, such as letting him know that some websites are showing 886 will do this but didn't.

 

pacific standard time

 

hope so! I know since I'm 2wd people say it will be a 3" lift or close. Yep I have a few friends who have done it before helping out and my buddy is installing his 886s at same time.

 

I am 2wd prerunner with 885s, I got 3" of lift as well. it aligned fine on the stock UCAs. However, with the icon UCAs I have now it drives like a dream!

 

It's pretty easy. I think you will be closer to2.5 as a double cab. It will look sweet. What are you doing in the rear?

 

sounds good. So excited man. Going with a single deaver aal 1.5. I don't have much weight back there unless I'm camping. Just got the leaf spring recall done a few weeks ago too

 

that looks so nice man. Really can't wait. Gonna look beastly with my softopper and a bit more clearance on the trails

 

Thank you! Yes, it makes a huge different, make sure you post some pics for us when you are done.

 

you know I will. What tires you running? I currently have 265/70/17 k02 plan to keep it that way for awhile.

 

I have the same tire basically in a 16". KO2s 265x75x16. It looks just fine with them, I do not mind running them till they wear out, then I plan on going to 285x75.
