What you need to know about lifting a 2016 Tacoma - Presented by Toytec Lifts

LT Tires especially E tires should be set to at least 5psi higher than stock due to the sidewall construction.

I typically set LT Tacoma tires at 40psi cold. This is another debate but in my experiences LT tires wear like crap without proper inflation.

I don't think i'll check my level past measurement, if its off I don't want to know haha. It's a lease and I'm anal about how it looks without dumping more money into it.

 

The level only works if the parking surface is perfectly level. that's why they say to measure the fender gap. that gives accurate measurement. even if you look at the picture with your level on the tonneau cover, you can see that the tonneau fold is lifted up just a bit, which directly affects the perception on the level.

I have the same level kit on my truck and my rear sits slightly lower then the front. just curious if this is common with the ProComp lift or just mine. I was told the front end will settle a bit.

 

I just ended a 12-year addiction with older bmws and their forums. The shop manager for this tire shop, Gordon, has been a very active and respected member on the largest BMW forum since I started. If I lived in the GA area, there's no one else I'd let touch my car. I'd highly highly recommend this shop!

 

I think that this is the kit that he used... http://www.procompusa.com/suspension-product-details.aspx?pt=3533&pl=1808

So I would assume that just like with the Icon suspension lifts that it is 3" of lift for 05-15 and 2" for 2016 Tacomas. But I am just assuming so perhaps it would be best to call like he said.

 

I'm sitting at the dealership waiting to find out what the deal is with this. Looks like just clearing the fault code didn't work.

 

Not looking good...

They told me that the code that came back flagged a message to get Toyota involved. They wanted me to leave the truck with them, but they weren't going to give me a loaner. This was not the dealership I bought it from, so I declined and now have an appointment Thursday where I bought it.

I started another thread for this as not to derail this one:

Hey dean, you might have answered this already but wondering how much of a lift did you get with the 5100s with stock spring set at .85?

 

You guy think 2" up front and 1" in the rear will clear 285/65-18's ok? I ran those on my 2013 with 3/1. It'll be on 18X9 -12.

 

I seen a guy on Instagram running the same setup and he said no rub at all. I'm gonna run a 285/65 on 18x9 0 offset and gonna run spacers.

 

You would'nt happen to have any pics of that would you?

 

of his setup?

 

Yeah, I can seem to find any pics of a 2" lift. Everyone is doing 3".

 

Awesome!!! Thank you. I'm done reserching now!!!

 

Any feedback of the Boss 2.0 or 2.5 kits ? Who are they built by? Bilstein?

Is Icon better than Boss?

 

I have had the Boss 2.0 kit with AAL on for a week and love it. drives awesome. running 275/70/17 KO2's with no rubbing.

 

How much lift did you achieve? Did you install ur self?

 

I knew i would have to answer this question some day, so i did measure before the lift. but i lost the paper it was written on.
i can give you a current measurement of the truck but it will not be a "true lift measurement" because of the tires that are now on it.

 

I finally decided on the OME kit today. Looking at 275/70R17 KO2s, you guys think that will look good or should I go bigger?

 

If you go back one page, posts 858 someone posted a pic with that exact size. Looks are up to you.
