Trident904 No Longer Owns a Tacoma so this thread is closed thread

This is one of the hardest to find!

 

Solid CMC check, aftermarket UCAs check. Caster? I think that my alignment shop didn’t go as far forward as I requested. May need to revisit this. I’m also running OME non coil over suspension. Thanks for your reply man. Appreciate it. Now to go call my alignment shop.

 

Set your caster as far forward as you can yourself and then go to the alignment shop and tell them not to touch your caster. What UCA’s do you have?

CMC needs to be cut as far back as possible and not plated. I have never run a plate on the cab mount after a cmc on any of my Tacos.

With the OME, you’ll need a 1/2” spacer on top to get a true 3” lift. I had the OME before I put the coilovers on.

 

Are you still planning to SAS?

 

Yeah. Within the next year hopefully. I’m acquiring parts along the way.

 

Estimated cost? Would you provide a list of parts?

 

I’m estimating $10k-$12k total.

I’m nowhere near being able to compile a parts list yet.

 

Gotcha is that your labor included? New parts or did you scavange some of the parts?

 

Only scavenged parts will be the front and rear Dana 60 axles. Everything else will be new or fabbed.

 

Sweet man. Looking foward to seeing it come together.

 

i need to find someone stock to measure, I'm not sure how much lift i currently have adjusted in with the kings.

 

Running SPC light racing control arms. CMC is done as far back as possible but I did weld a plate on. What’s really strange is that the rub started just a few months ago. Originally I only had run when off-roading but it was just the plastic fender liner.

 

Your alignment has shifted. I rub under full lock when stuffed, but that’s because of the 35’s.

 

I'm curious as to why you say you need a true 3" lift? Unless you extend your bump stops you're still going to bottom out at the same spot

 

Well, in order to fit 35’s, which I have, a true 3” is required. And, when properly lifting a truck, bumpstops are part of doing it right. I have wheelers super bumps up front with 1/4” spacer added to them and I have never bottomed out. The pic below is full stuff and full bump.


You’ll note that there is no contact in the wheel well. Also, my fenders are trimmed for upcoming SAS and 37’s.

 

not a fan of turd gens, but damn

 

Gotcha. I'm also running 35s, but my hub to fender measurements only show about 1" of lift from stock. I've still got OME struts (eventually will switch to real coilovers). I just trimmed and hammered enough so that I can fit fully stuffed to the stock bumpstops

 

I may be making a run up to Jax soon. My buddy up there said they have an 08 F350 they just got in. He’s going to get back to me on whether or not they are parting it out or whatever else they do with them when they don’t part them out. But either way, it’s at a $50 all you can carry spot and you can bring a pull cart or wagon to get your shit out.

 

That front axle is heavy. Super heavy
