ReadyLift SST

I'm am looking to put in a Lift Kit on my 2019 TRD Off-Road. looking at the ReadyLift SST either

$270 69-5212 3"F / 2"R SST Lift Kit - Toyota Tacoma TRD / SR5 / Rock Warrior

69-5212, 69-5530, or 69-5531. I was hoping to gain some insights about this. A shop that I went to to look into it said that they would recommend get UCA as well? I understand that the lift will change in angle with the ball joint, but how much of an issue is it? Any sort of guidance would be appreciated.

 

All I can add is why spend over $30,000.00 on a truck to put such a crap lift in it? You can put Bilstein 5100's all around and lift the front for about the same money. I always say " Buy Once and Cry Once. " Spacer Lifts aren't crap, but why not do it right the first time, and UCA's are a must for some and for some not needed.

 

The 69-5531 comes with Bilstein 6112 for the front. why do you say crap lift?

Ucas will really only be needed if lifting past 2.5 inches.

 

Hmmmmmm looks like ready lift upped their game a little.

 

So how is it lifted? Looks like it's still a spacer on top plus whatever ring you set the 6112's on? And junk blocks in the back. $1100.00 for that? You can do better for that money.

 

what would you recommend for UCA then?

 

I'm wanting to do ReadyLift because I get discounted pricing because of my work, i would only be spending $850 on that kit. I do like to keep my truck clean, although most of my driving is going to be on paved roads, I will be doing some off-roading as well. I'm sorry I am new to the Forum, what is AAL?

 

AAL = Add A Leaf

 

Hey guys, so what’s the verdict on the lifts? I have a 2wd sr5 and want to get a 3 inch lift to fit ko2 285/75/16. What lift do y’all recommend? I appreciate all the help! Total noob here

 

I was at a shop yesterday and they were pushing the ReadyLift with Bilsteins all around, 6112 up front and 5100 in the back. I specifically asked about the block vs aal. They were adamant that aal is not needed unless I plan on hauling a heavy load, rack camper, etc. Installed out the door was around $1000.

Can I put both the block and an aal?

This is my weekend toy, typically using it for overlanding/camping once a month. The trails are not hard core.

 

Thank you for the reply —— Funny that you ask, I was just googling UCA’s. In which, I had no clue what they are, not I guess I have some knowledge of them.......

It looks like a crapshoot with Tacoma’s, off their website:

Yes, any rear shock designed for the amount of rear lift achieved can be used with our blocks. In some Tacoma applications Toyota made minor changes to the Tacoma upper control arm suspension geometry. In some cases adding a leveling kit MAY affect the ability to correct the caster alignment to within factory specifications. If you have a 2011-2020 Tacoma with a leveling kit and the caster alignment specs cannot be put back to factory your truck will require an aftermarket Upper Control Arm with adjustable caster/camber.
