    Here's one I've been throwing around in my head:

    [​IMG]

    Summary
    • Front Coilovers:
      1 x BOSS20-700-R - Toytec BOSS Coilovers - 700 Lb Red Coils
    • Sway Bar Relocation Bracket:
      1 x SBR-129 - Front Sway Bar Relocate Kit
    • Front Diff Drop Kit:
      1 x RM83011 / TAC-DR-05 - Toytec Front Differential Drop Kit - 05+Tacoma, 03+4Runner, 07-14 FJ Cruiser, 03+GX
    • Rear Lift Options:
      1 x TAC-AL-UBOLTS-SHIM - Toytec Add-a-Leafs with U-Bolts and Shims
    • Rear Shock Options:
      1 x TT-55289-P - Toytec Boss Rear Shocks for 05+Tacoma/00-06 Tundra
    • Add Aftermarket Upper Control Arms:
      1 x 96504 - Total Chaos Uniball Upper Control Arms (05+ Tacoma, 07+ FJ Cruiser, 03+ 4Runner, 03+ GX470/GX460)

    Looks like about $2,000 A little history:
    - 2019 TRD OR
    - had a 2014 Taco with the Bilstein fronts at like 1.75'' and rear add a leaf. I liked the look, but it made a weird click every time the front suspension went down hard on a bump. Not too hard to install, but the alignment was never perfect again.
    - gonna be a driveway job cause I'm a low cash cowboy


    Thanks guys! Just batting the idea around in my head at this point!

    Did you have a specific question about this lift? I work for toyteclifts and of course the kit you're looking at it great! I am just wondering why you chose 700lb spring ratings? Usually that amount is for a winch bumper with a winch. If you have any questions send me a message or even call me at toytec ext 113

    @TacoTron

    I think i'm going to go with this guy:

    https://www.bilsteinlifts.com/shop/...19-toyota-tacoma-with-aluma-series-coilovers/

    [​IMG]

    with the upper control arms and the front diff drop. Total $2,000.

    what I want to know is this: is that link/kit EVERYTHING I need? I don't want to install the thing and find out half way I needed a different "doo-dad" to prevent vibration/rubbing/weird angles/wear etc...

    the last thing I want to do is have to re-do the job and take more time adding a new component I should've added the first time around.

    is that a 100% complete, stand-alone kit?

    I'm also looking at this kit for my 2018 TRD OR. Is this kit available with the 650 springs. I'm not looking to add any weight to the front.

    This system will actually still be a great ride with or without the extra added weight with the new valving system that allows for it to take bumps extremely well really give you the best of both worlds. Send me a message if you need more details of anything
