Wicked Creations LT thoughts and opinions

Have you guys done any coilovers for this kit yet on a 3rd gen tacoma? Just bought their +3.5 kit and need to get some Coilovers ordered eventually

 

I've reached out to wicked because Accutune needs specs. Wicked keeps ignoring me...

 

Im picking mine up from their shop when its ready. Worst case I can get specs when im there

 

Maybe just order it per dirt king specs? The kits seem similar enough

 

Are you just running the midtravel coils for now?

 

Yessir. Fox 2.0s lol. After the snow melts here I'm hopefully gonna ball out and get some cerakote 2.5s

 

Maybe @AccuTune Offroad can correct me, but what's the difference between a spec coilover and a universal coilover for LT? Both are 8" stroke, is the eyelet length different? I know dirtking makes a tophat so I'm not worried about that part.

 

I assume maybe hose routing and possibly valving for the motion ratio of the kit.

also ive seen photos of 4runners on their social media with coilovers from accutune

 

wicked creations +3.5 long travel kit with double shear for the upper control arms. In this picture it’s sitting on the factory length fox coil overs I should be picking up the long travel coil overs from accutune Friday or Monday. After a long talk with Stephen at accutune and pulling all the measurements it was determined the total chaos spec’d coil over from fox 2.5 DSC was a near perfect fit( I was looking for fox 2.5 DSC to match the rear). The only difference being that eyelet spacers need to total 1.5” opposed to the total chaos 1.25”

 

Wicked finally got back to me 8 days later about the coilovers specs.

2.5 x 8 2” rod end

650 lb springs

2” longer hose

 

I talked to accutune thanks to @Tcodyw88 and got their total chaos spec coilover ordered. Should ship out to me next week

 

Awesome to hear bro. Looks I have to wait till Monday/Tuesday to pick mine up. I’m gonna be dropping off my 14” DSC’s for the rear end to get revalved when I pick up the coil overs.

 

I also recommend whoever buys this kit and lives in a snowy climate where the salt the roads regularly, to get it powdercoated or at least something with a stronger finish. My control arms are covered in rust

 

I read something about needing to cut the steering stops off the lower ball joint cradle for this kit. Is this true?

 

Shit I haven't heard anything about that, but I do have marks on each LCA due to the steering stops hitting.

 

J_booleo on IG told me he did it on his +5 kit. Not sure if you gotta do it on the +3.5s. Would be nice if wicked put up some instructions so you dont miss stuff like that

 

That truck moves holy shit. I wonder what 3 link kit he's running

If anyone needs some WC spec 2.5" 8" 650lb springs they are sitting in my garage. make me an offer.

 

What do the numbers look like on the coils. Heres an example
