ReadyLift

about to pull the trigger on this lift would like to see set ups on stock and after market wheels and tires. I will be adding the rear bilstein shocks as well. My truck is on stock wheels with 265/75/16 BFGoodrich KO2s at the moment.

 

How much moneys you paying for that? The 6112s are capable of safely doing the lifting of the front of your vehicle without the use of those large spacers if that's something that interests you? If not your truck should look pretty awesome on this.

 

If these give you 3" you will most likely also be needing aftermarket UCA's

 

installation, alignment and lift it’s gonna come out to $1500 and some change the lift by itself with no rear shocks is $1100

 

Most say 3 inches is safe with out UCAs. Or what I’ve read on this forum. I know best and safe route would be doing UCAs as well so we will see

 

I would do UCA's regardless.. Especially if you're going to go larger than a 265/75. Do you plan on wheeling it? Or do you haul stuff at all? I hate the idea of blocks personally for the rear. I would suggest a good quality leaf pack, or at least an add-a-leaf if you don't want to spend the coin.. The stock leafs are garbage.
Are you dead set on 3"? You may want bigger tires as it might look "off" with those 265's. Here's my truck, which is right around 2-2.5"of lift and stock OR wheels (with 1.25" spacers and 265/75/16):

I bought different wheels and 285's not too long after lol

 

Have you looked at Falcon's stuff? A little more money but comes with resi rear shocks and bumps all around.

I hardly wheel as I did before I moved to Houston, Texas about 2 years ago and haven’t been out to be honest. The 265 I have on I just got them maybe about 6 months ago or so, so they are fairly new Since my stock ones wore out around 62,000 miles. I don’t like blocks either but I think for now this set up fits my every day commute. I do plan on either doing AAL from icon or do a full leaf pack conversion but at the moment it’s something that I don’t need. Tire size I’ll definitely go bigger but at its given time.

 

I have heard about them actually but but haven’t seen or maybe I haven’t paid much attention. As I mentioned on the previous comment I don’t wheel much or do any hard core off-roading. I don’t think I need a set up like that. It is nice though.

 

Blocks are fine. I've been running a 1" Toytec block and BDS AAL for a long time now; wheeling everywhere, towing a camper. Not an issue.

 

I ran a 3/2 spacer lift before on my first Tacoma I didn’t have any issues either but I want to go with strut/shock suspension with this one for a change.

 

Yeah for sure, the longer spring upfront is super beneficial. I was just saying that small rear blocks arent' an issue at all.

 

I would contact Headstrong Off Road first.....

 

I ended up pulling the trigger on the lift couldn’t be more satisfied with it

 

Looks good how’s your alignment on 3” without control arms?

 

It’s actually pretty amazing feels smooth like butter and Drives straight. Actually feels way better then before when it was stock height
