More rain last night but dry today ……and hot later

 

yesterday wasnt that bad in the evening. i was able to get out with my golf league at like 5. it poured all day up until then though.

 

it going to hit 90+ today and be real humid after all this rain be a swamp ass day

 

I know this was over four years ago but does anyone know if Levi is still lifting Tacos?

 

Not sure but a lot of us locally install lifts in our spare time for people to save them time and money. What is it that you are looking to get done?

 

My standard struts are shot so it's finally time to upgrade the suspension. I want a moderate lift 2" more or less, I travel slowish gravel back roads multiple times a week but do a lot of pavement driving so I think I'm leaning to a digressive system. I carry a yard of compost at least once a year so I'm planning to add a med/heavy duty leaf to the rear and I may add bumpers in the future so I will likely go at least medium duty on the front, too. Since I'm not doing a huge lift, I don't think I need UCAs or the diff drop. This was the setup I'm starting to zero in on: https://yotamafia.com/product/dobinsons-1-5-3-lift-kit-2nd-3rd-gen-tacoma-double-cab-short-bed/ (though I have an access cab / 6' bed). Also planning to use Toyo Open Country A/T3 on new steelies but I'm not sure the tire height yet. Any thoughts?

 

Yes, I do have a couple of thoughts. The Dobinsons does make a very decent lift, But in all honesty, you may actually be able to get away with something a little bit cheaper than this to do the same thing. Not to mention have the ability to adjust your front coils. With the Dobinsons lift, You have to pick a specific coil for specific right height and if you add or take away any type of weight in the front especially if you add a front bumper in the future, you will not be able to adjust the height accordingly. You can always go with a Bilstein 5100 lift to do the same thing but just add ICON RXT leafs in the rear instead of the Dobinsons. The reason why am bringing it up, is because the ICON RXT leafs in the rear Are modular as well and can be adjusted with how much weight or height you want to have. Regarding the new UCA, generally anything 2 inches or less should necessarily need a new UCA. Are they 100% necessary, no. Are they 100% recommended, yes. Only to make sure that your alignment and for articulation is going to work a lot more properly. I see that you have a 2007 and I am assuming that it has a lot of miles on it. It might be proper to add the aftermarket UCA's just because that's going to play a big part in your suspension of front and yours most likely have a lot of miles on them. We usually have Mod and Meets over my house on about a once a month basis and we install lifts, bumpers, do maintenance, have pizza, shoot the shit etc. Don't worry about the diff drop but you will need a carrier bearing drop. If you want, shoot me a PM or DM, And we can talk about it further if you want.
