    Hey everyone,
    I'm thinking of getting this suspension kit for my Double cab 4x4 (2009): [​IMG]

    Looks like it is not adjustable.....
    Will I have to use new Upper control arms?

    I'm really looking to lift my truck 3"

    Any other suggestions?
    I've read and searched until my head is SPINNING!!!!

    Thanks
    Donald

    You're correct, it's not adjustable. I have the same kit minus the rear shocks and didn't get UCAs...truck wanders a bit in the lane but it's not bad.

    I just bought the same kit but I bought the OME new leaf spring kit as well. The truck looks mean as hell. It is not an adjustable kit. Your stock control arms are fine. I do recommend if you put it on get the carrier bearing drop kit or just make your own. It is not adjustable but it rides great. You will need a wheel alignment after you install it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Just put OME on the front end. I went with LR UCA's from fatbobsgarage.com for $379. It is a great kit

    good kit! with the 885's u won't need the lift enhancers. u will get 3" of lift from the coils by themselves. I would suggest getting the lift then see how it drives after the alignment and make your own decision as to if you want to get the new Uca's. I got them because my truck wandered and it drove me nuts! and no its not adjustable.

    If you are looking to get to 3inches the right way- UCAs are almost certainly going to be necessary to get the alignment into spec. But you CAN run without them.

    It's not an adjustable kit- But if you know you want 3 inches....You don't need adjustable.

    I have the full OME setup on my truck (same as yours but with the dakars) and love it. I have stock UCA as well. You can see details as well as post lift thoughts on my build thread. Good luck

    my truck is a 4x4

    Im starting to lean toward the Toytec adjustable coil overs.... I'm running stock wheels and tires for a while, and I don't want to step up to 3" of lift without bigger tires.

    Any thoughts on running the toytec adjustable kit and an aal in the rears????

    Thanks
    Donald
