    Zero issues.

    Just don't get the diff drop and make sure you get the carrier bearing drop kit.

    You can check out my build for all my specs and pics.

    How long have you had your lift on? And how many miles do you have on your truck?

    Not lifting your Tacoma is like not putting a coffee can muffler on your Civic. It's just unheard of.

    Haha I know but it's soo much and if it causes strain on the front end in the long run, I don't think it's a great idea.

    Keep in mind that Borla's exhaust is a .25 inch smaller than the stock exhaust (2.25 vs 2.5 inches). Which ='s more low 'towing' power less high end power.

    Im doing the same thing you are more or less.

    If budget is what your going for OME would be your best bet..
    OR
    you could go into coilovers, which replaces your shocks and coils up front but there expensive...
    This can get expensive. If you decide to do this then youll be changing out (or adding onto) your leafs and shocks (rear) and coilovers and Upper Control Arms, or UCA's.

    Coilover options go from:
    ICON (digressive)
    KINGS (progressive)
    FOX (progressive I think)
    and
    possibly Camburg or Total Chaos, iv only seen Long Travel kits for them...

    These companies also apply for rear shock companies.

    Differential Drop Kits drop your differential obviously. Check out the suspension topic stickys for more on that.

    For leafs you have the choice of either Add-A-Leafs or Leaf Packs, all depends on budget and you don't always need the top of the line.

    Another thing you might want to look into is progressive vs digressive valving. Im still learning, so don't quote me, but from what iv been told by a vender is that digressive would be more towards if your on the road most of the time. Progressive gets progressively stiffer the higher speeds your going.
    Also make sure to check out the vendors here, most have coupons or codes to use if your a Tacomaworld member.


    Any questions feel free to send me a message and to everyone else out there reading this if I missed something bring it up.

    A lift wont do that.

    Just do things right the first time, get a nice coilover lift.
