pro comp 3" lift

read all the threads i can but cant really find the answers im looking for, maybe not looking hard enough but anyway. i want to put a 3" in pro comp lift (springs and leaf pack) for now and i want 285-75-16. i was wondering how much it rubs and do i need new uca's?

 

3" lift and 33''

all you need is spacer for your wheels and your good

 

what size spacer?

 

Yeah if you plan on keeping your stock wheels you will need wheel spacers....preferably Spidertrax 1.25" ones. For UCA's anything over 2.5"s of lift they highly recommend them to get the alignment right but I know people that dont run them.

 

I would recommend new uca's.

 

what ucas's do recommend?
i was looking at total chaos but those are pretty pricey

 

I have the same lift and run 285's. 4.5" backspace rims and only rub a little on the frame and body mount. Doesn't rub enough to warrant any more than a little plastic trimming. The Procomp spring is stiff so you won't get a ton of flex out of the front. Do yourself a favor and scuff/paint the springs before install, factory paint sucks.

 

Oh, and stock UCA's. No alignment issues.

 

thnx man and 4.5"??? how far to your tires stick out from the fenders

 

....1"- 1 1/2"? not too much.

 

Op go on wheelersoffroad website get bilstein 5100 all around better ride and the front shocks can be adjusted to 2.5 in lift and the rear either a addALeaf or they do offer a leaf pack.

If you wana keep the stock wheels I recommend getting spider trax 1.25 wheelspacers

Uppers if you dont wana spend 600-700 on uniball
Then go with the light racings there about 400 bucks I believe.


Reason on aftermarket uppers you get better alight ment and won't wear out yours tires.

 

x2.... the procomp makes a harsh ride.

 

As for UCA's, it all depends on budget. I like the Camburg ball joint. Everyone will have their own opinion on this subject. I like them, because they are sealed and you grease them.


I second the Bilstein 5100 route.

 

I've ran the pro comp 3 inch lift before it sucks shocks are horrible and they blew out on my quick. Spacer lift stay away.

So op I recomend doing it right the first time so your not redoing later. you'll end up spending more money trust me with the money I've spent over the years on doing the wrong things and going cheap I could of had a bitchin set up but you live and learn.

Hope this helps.

 

thnx guys 5100 sounds better and is priced better

 

whats the difference between 5100 and b1101 5100 on rear shocks

 

any complaints about toytec ultimate tacoma lift??
