Used Tacoma w/ Unknown Suspension

Yep. Beware this is a full 3" lift, so it is stressful on the OEM upper ball joint. Typically for lifts above 2.5", an aftermarket upper control arm is used, both to alleviate the ball joint angle and to restore caster (restore steering on-center feel).

The shock is only extended by 1/4" (which gives just 1/2" lift on its own), not enough to bypass the frame bumpstop.

 

Agreed. I said "closer".

 

When you extend the factory shock by 1/4", it is about the same length as a Bilstein 5100 or Old Man Emu shock.

 

Thank you all! TacomaWorld never ceases to amaze me. I've got much to learn.

 

Actually the 5100 for the 2gen Tacoma is closer to 3/4" longer than the oem bilstein. I've got some pics with the measurements somewhere around here, but I believe I've posted them on here along with the measurements of an oem bilstein with a 1" spacer and where the shaft ends in comparison to the bump stop.

 

^OK, so @Laughing Bandit will be more likely to break his upper ball joint than the shock stem.

 

Let's try not to do either of those...

 

This is correct... TX Pro is not the TRD PRO / TRD BAJA .... TX Pro is some earrings on a TRD OR. (namely cat back exhaust, TRD Beadlocks). It has the same suspension stock as a TRD OR.

OP, you have a coil spacer lift in the front on both sides, plus a 1/4in lean spacer on the driver. You also have a 1.5in single leaf AAL in the rear. All running on the stock shocks. FYI to everyone the TRD OR / TX PRO pre october 2013 manufacture date came with a 2+1 leaf pack.

 

Mine is a TX Pro and came with the Off road suspension, fakelocks, cat back exhaust, and off course the stickers about (15 extra horsepower).

TX Baja had all that plus the nice TRD Billies and Eibach springs.

 

Did not know that. Thanks for clearing it up!

 

And just to add to the confusion, TX Pro was marketed as Trail Teams in Canada
