Pro comp lift...

i bought mine from 4wheelparts.com. i pid 4 something shipped. the best price is truckaddons.com they are selling for like almost 90 bucks cheaper also they have great deals on nittos and dick cepec tires happening right now they are great guy's to deal with as well. the kit is complete except for shock boots from what pro comp says its designed to work perfectly with whats in the box its not a stiff as i thought it would be thats for sure, but i also removed my sway bar as well on the advice on blacktacoma23 and i suspect that had a great deal to do with taking the edge off.

 

Well mine came out that high at first, its because your tires are riding on the outer edges. Once you put on new UCA's it will lower the ride since the whole tire will be on the ground evenly.
So once I put on my UCA's I also had to do a cab mount chop.

Anyways congrats!!
what size tires again?

 

295-70-17 tg's same as you. 4.5 inches seems like it was really high lol it almost looks like a drop bracket rcd lift from afar christ they are only 4 inches.

the shop already put on my light racing uca's they had problems adjusting them they told me i may need to go back to stock arms? i don't see how that would help i would think that would exacerbate the problem.

i think its so skittish on broken pavement and expansion joints because the alignment is so off. lol it looks as if the tires have settled down a bit and at least look relatively flat today.

as far as tire pressure is concerned i have to check with the shop to see what they recommend for them. ok auto 4x4 really is a good place these guy's know what they are doing they have been in business for over 20 years and only work on 4x4's.

 

it looks like the tire pressure is set to 32 psi front and rear. the nitto trail grappler in this size is a 10 ply e load rated tire so it looks like that may do it. a e load rated tire is complete over kill for any tacoma imho so its a stiff tire for the truck but should be pretty tough in the long run.

 

i bought the brake lines from octaco on here he had ss goodrich lines so for a hundred bucks i got front and rear extended lines. the guys at ok auto said that i would need more clips for the rear lines i'm not sure why he could not make the ones on there now work.
the front metal brake line main has a crushed fitting from the factory they tell me and they are ordering these parts they also have to box in the cab mount when i go back.

i was confused that the shop never heard of spc or light racing before they do alot of toyota's but mostly jeeps. they said it would need to settle down a bit in order to get the alignment correct. i'll post a picture of the print out looks like i'm .5 off on my camber thats not looking good at all. they told me that they are at there max as well as my lower control arms. what can i do here to saftley expedite the breaking in process so i can get the alignment back into spec?

 

Do you need extended brake lines with the pro comp 3?

 

awesome thanks man! you have really helped me out alot with the lift and tire questions your the man bro i'm in the middle of cleaning it up right now then to tighten up all the lug nuts and check things over. then its picture time.

 

as promised. only a few things missing here the snorkel being one the brake lines and the randy ellis light bar and the blazer fogs.

 

heres the alignment sheet if anyone can tell me what they did wrong here lol.

 

Very nice Stunt man!

 

I didn't need them.

 

Truck looks good Hans

 

thanks guys! just a little rub on the inside lip of the fender flare. lol we took your advice yesterday psu and tried flexing the suspension a bit. yeah i might need to go and see your guy about the alignment issues it looks way off so my appointment is for 7/15 i'm just not sure if i should drive around that much on them with it being this way.

i saw some three inch lifts in person before and my truck looks a good bit higher i really do hope it settles down a bit. like i said man 4.5 inches of lift! how much can i expect it to settle down? i was thinking that it would settle .5 or.75, but that seems like alot to me and that would still have me pretty dam high lol.

 

i thought that much because when i hit an expansion joint the truck tries to change lanes all by itself lol. its unnerving to say the least but i should be ok with tire wear until i get this sorted right? i was really worried about screwing up the tires this shop is like 2 1/2 hours away lol. where is the guy that you recommended i have look at it tarantino i'm down near sicklerville southern nj.

 

now i need the sport hood and to get it shot in line-xtra its going to look sick with the
black line-x. i'm def going to re gear as well to help with keep the mpg's and performance off road.

 

lol i have so many factory parts laying round now i'm not sure what to do with them all lol.

 

thanks guy's! i just put the randy ellis light bar on it looks sick next is the vision-x solstice 2 inch leds 4 of em. i'm thinking i want to order 2 for the out side tabs that have their super wide beam config then 2 pencil beams for the centers pics to follow lol. psu i have so much shit in my shed lol its rapidly taking over the little space i have left

 

the light bar randy ellis designs pretty nice looking and very sturdy for a light bar holy shiz!

 

i picked them up on the group buy on here from octaco he has ss extended goodrich brand lines both front and rear for like a 100$ thats a pretty good deal. he sold about 100 of them and never had any complaints so i figured what the hell i think i'm als going to change up the pads and throw on new slotted rotors, but i'm going to stick with the stock caliper probably for good.

i was attempting to reduce the effects of adding more unsprung weight the brakes right out of the wrapper are border line shit on the 4cyls then you add a 34 inch tire and its just not confidence inspiring.

 

Just curious how hot does it get in that thing?
