Tacoma tries to kill me- fires brakes at random

Sorry for your issues... Wish I could help but I've got nothing. But I love these kinds of threads where someone throws a lot of "upgrades" on a truck and then they are unhappy and the more they do the worse it gets. I've already got enough problems without building one by throwing money away. And I'm really not unsympathetic. All the effort and money to improve your truck and it leads to crap outcomes has to be hard. But it's a good lesson for those that will pay attention. I just hope you don't kill anybody, including yourself. Good luck Buddy. Shiny side up...

 

Had a problem with the master cylinder, it would lock the brakes (2014 Sport). Not sure your model has an old style MC or an electric.

 

As one would expect from a complete upgrade kit that costs $5,000 put together by a suspension company, my point was adding extra weight, stiffer bushings, spherical bearings, coilovers etc...will negatively impact ride comfort without being tuned for each specific use case. your stage 8 kit from Icon is the sum of a bunch of parts made to work together. Putting a similar kit together piecemeal from different companies will get a much different result without knowledge and experience with suspension set-up. My advice to OP was to not throw more money (in parts) at the problem, but instead to have a specialty shop tune the suspension to the truck.

 

UPDATE: I found a bad/ cooked wire that was not repaired correctly so I got that all buttoned up and I think my random brake firing issue is resolved, but only time will tell. As for the rough ride, that solved itself. It was my LCA bushings in bind. After a little offroading and the suspension cycling and LCAs moving around, it is feeling soo much better. I found some other people on here that had a rough ride after installing DK lowers and they were in bind. I followed their recos and shes riding much better now.
