Rough Country Vertex coilovers???

New here. Just ordered the 6” lift for my 17 taco hoping to get it done this weekend. Besides that it’s stock, I’ve only taken it on light trails but want to start off-roading is there anything else i should install before i try it out?

 

Make sure it will pass inspection in your state if you state does it . The crossmember needs to be cut to install that lift and there’s a member here who was not able to get his taco pass visual inspection. Other than that, your tacoma will look great .

 

Drop brackets will bend, do your research.
Friend of mine, bent his DB in Moab, even after replacing the DBs, it was never right. Good luck with your truck.

 

Damn so it’s pretty much pointless then? Should’ve looked into it more i kinda rushed it

 

The kind of off-roading you’ll do won’t really affect it. Those lifts bend so does any lift with the right conditions. I think you’ll be ok.

 

Just make sure you're ok with never being able to go back to stock or any lift under 4 inches.

 

Hopefully man it’s too late to switch now, was originally gonna get the 4in one but it didn’t have the coilovers, why wouldn’t i be able to go below 4in?

 

Because a DB lift requires the main cross member to be cut out of the frame. Go with a good 3" lift and 35s or long travel and 37s.

This is a 3" lift on my truck.

 

That’s beautiful man, what kind of lift do you have?

 

It’s shows on the pics. Kings

 

Kings EXT set at 2.5", TC UCA, Dirt King LCA, 3" expedition RS, Marlin Crawler HD gussets and Cam lock kit, Total Chaos spindle gussets, BAMF hangers, x-brace, regeared air-lockers and more. Super flexy and works great.

 

So would i be able to do any type of off-roading with mine? Unfortunately couldn’t return it so im set on that

 

Yes, just don't try crawling over borders.

 

Just got it done

 

Looks great, it's up there now.

 

New here to this forum, I recently bought a 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR5 and I ordered the vertex 3inch lift kit front and back, does the front shocks 3inch lift settle at 3inches or come preset at 3, or am I going to have to adjust it to get the 3inch lift

 

Hey bud did you ever end up pulling the trigger on either of these options? I’m currently debating the same two set ups (and maybe the Eibach Pro 2R) and really can’t decide if the RC kit would be better. I had the Bilstein 6112/5160 on my last truck and loved it so I’m hesitant to try something new unless it’s confirmed it’s solid!

 

Got my 3.5 lift with Vertex front coils and their adjustable rears. No blocks. Old man emu leafs. I had kings 2.5 oem coils and icon tubular uca on 2 lift that were needing a rebuild.Used the forged uca that came with the kit since the icons only support up to 2.75 lift. Gained two up front, didnt have to use the blocks in back to make it level. Rides like a cadillac. Right now have fronts at 4 and rears as well. Might try front ans rear at 3. Also getting 34’s installed tomorrow since I already have the pinch weld. Will update with the 34’s. For reference, those are 285/70/17 on Fuels.

 

Here she is on Toyo RT Trails 285/75/17

 

Any chance you did a diff drop?
