Wicked Creations LT thoughts and opinions

I can't say their front office is any good, product is decent. I made two different orders at separate times first order went well, got my front LT kit right away. I also ordered coilovers and a jack kit at a later date, but that's still pending. The second order was on Sept 27, two weeks after the order was sent, I was told to come get it since I chose in-store pickup. drove 1 hr north to grab it only to be told, sorry I'm not sure what you're talking about. drove home with one piece of the jack kit that looked like someone had practiced sanding metal on it. Multiple emails about items ready this week etc... still have yet to arrive. They made a shipping label for the jack skid and told me King is back-ordered 8 weeks. I called King and they told me directly they were about 4 weeks out... most shops suck, no such thing as integrity anymore.

 

Thank you for your input! I'm currently shopping for my firts LT kit and this kind of information is invaluable! So far I've zeroed in on BTF and Locked Offroad!

 

Dirt King makes a great kit and has amazing customer service. They are also doing a Black Friday sale, gen2 LT kit is $2974, https://dirtking.com/collections/tacoma/products/long-travel-kit?variant=31426428633131. I have their stock-length front end right now and it's awesome, I'm an idiot and should have just been happy with what I have but here I am continuing to build the truck that was done

 

I'ma have to say, after a couple months and about 4k miles, I wish I had bought a dirtking kit or TC. Wicked creations did not weld the eyelets tall enough, so I had to "pound" my coilovers into the eyelets, which over time etched into the LCA and now is raw steel and dented where the coilover rests in the eyelets. Also, the back mounting location that goes into the rear cam tab, they welded that part at an angle instead of perfectly straight. So, I had to bend my cam tab to make it fit. Overall, for $2700 it was disappointing.

 

I forgot to add, their customer service sucks. Hard to get a hold of, and if you do it takes a looooong time to get a response.

 

damn that sucks, hope mine isnt like that, hope the coilovers show up soon

 

still waiting on my order from Sept 27th. Lt spec coil overs and jack skid kit.

 

Got my coil over and jack skid today. Finally.

 

started install, LCA sleeves are wrong. have change those

 

wanted to add that I'm still waiting on the reservoir bracket, got the top hats mailed to me the next day.

 

nothing fits, I'm pretty sure I got the wrong kit maybe for a 4r or a gen2.5. All heimed alignment spacers don't fit. All bolts have slop within the sleeves. I'm doublesheer on UCA, so I'd physically have to bend the bolt in order to fit into the UCA. I'm going to try to return and just buy dirt king.

 

That really sucks man, I'm sorry. I had the same fitment issue on the UCA. I feel like their templates for fabrication is off by a hair.

 

you gen 3? are you double sheer? did you have slop in your sleeves? how about heim fitment?

 

I have a 3rd gen. A little slop in the sleeves. I had a bushing, not a heim

 

Any issues with their cv axles? Looking to order a pair.

 

Not that I know of. They use OEM inner and outer joints. The middle shaft is theirs

 

Do you happen to know what they machine on the cores?
"All cores get inspected, machined, and re-assembled with new CV Boots and high temp grease."

 

The machining would be connecting the two joints to the new middle shaft. Not sure what goes on in depth, but as far as I know that's what takes place

 

I wonder if they copy DK, machining the inner cv for more angle. I'll call them before I order soon.

 

Good question. I'm running dk extended axle shafts.
