suspension

Obviously a lot of posts about suspension questions, etc... I'm doing research and would like some input from outside sources. I can get a Bilstein 5100 kit (Specifically been looking at Alldog's kit) for $830 without UCA's/$1330 w/ UCA's...

This was a month long process I broke one of my cv axels and decided to get RVC’s ultimate axle set but learned that they do not fit with stock lower control arms. After making some calls I was told they would work with total chaos lowers which thank goodness they did. The RCV CV axels are much...

I couldn't keep my truck stock... i decided to buy the OME 887 kit. Once installed, my 265s and stock TRD sport wheels were immediately looking a little small. So I bought some 17s and moved the 265s to those. It looked much better, so i took it in for an alignment and they couldn't dial it...

Ok, so I just dumped a ton of money on Icon Stage 9 Suspension. Bump Stops? Archive Garage Ubolt flip kit with the 2.7 super bumps or the Timbern Active Off-Road Bumpstops ? Ready , Go lol

Hey guys, been trying to do my research so I didn't have to annoy anyone however I'm seeing stuff that is all over the place regarding lifts. I get that coilover sets from Icon/King/etc... are the way to go, however that is out of my price range and needs. I have been seeing where a lot of...

I ordered the Hangers and shackles from Bay Area Metal Fab. First look: these things are beefy. They are super good looking and much bigger than the factory hangers. Shackles are basically the same as factory but they are greasable. Time for the destruction: Opted for the torch option to get...

Tying to decide if it is worth getting a lift on my TRD Pro. And if so what kind of lift would be best

Just purchased a 2020 TRD/OF/DC/LB Cement. I have Falcons on my Jeep JKU and love them. Any rubbing issues? Did you have too do UCA? Plan on running 285/70/16 BFG KO2's. Thanks (First post)

Just a tip for anyone who plans on doing a cmc on their own or having a shop do it. When doing the cab mount chop, clearance of the body mount to install larger tires, you do not need to cut (notch) the pinchweld and bend it inside- towards frame. Simply bend the pinchweld towards the fender...

Hey I ordered 886 coils, they came, right invoice, right box, but the white tag sticker on the coils say 889X...?! Should I just return and re order to make sure they are correct, I mean they look like 886 coils but don’t they all look the same hahah. Thanks

Hey there Tacoma3g members! Just wanted to create a thread on a recent suspension build we did for a client. @sage.royal (IG) recently wanted to upgrade his TRD Pro suspension. He ultimately wanted to stay midtravel and had to have the best ride. We then completed his build out with Icon DJ...

Been trying to ask on TW but that's full of 2nd gen so the answers aren't accurate. Currently run 5100 with 888, lift is not what I expected. Been going back and forth on how to bump it up a tad. What are my options for more lift? Can I run 886 or some other coil? Should I get new shocks and...

My suspension problem is which brand to go with lol. I'm deploying in January so I'm making a list of upgrades that I will be purchasing a month prior to returning. I keep seeing people rave about King, Icon and OME, and for that reason those are my top 3. I really don't want to go over 2500...

Hey what’s up guys I’m new to the taco world and have so far been loving it... it’s time to get a little bit of ground clearance and add little bit of an aggressive look. I’ve been looking around and watching plenty YouTube and I’m still undecided about what front / rear ratio of leveling...

The next big chapter of my truck is definitely going to require some air bags in addition to the Dakar HD squeak packs I already have. I never really did my air spring research because I never expected to need them. However, my spontaneous change of plans recently means it's time to learn. I'm...

Hey guys, so I've noticed my rear leaf has started to go flatter, looking into either an Add-a-leaf or going for a whole new set. Have had my eyes on doing an Icon AAL or their RXT leaf pack. What do you guys think, anything better that I should be looking into?

Looking for a temporary solution until I pull the trigger on some total chaos UCA's. Whether it be going over a bump slow or driving straight on the road I'm getting a lot squeaking from the front suspension area, most likely it's my UCA's. Is this something that I just need to retorque them...

So my truck is currently at stock height. I'm running 265/70/17s and even with some trimming, I get just a bit of rubbing when going into steep driveways and stuff. I've been thinking about getting the adjustable bilstein 5100s because I like the adjustability of the front shocks being able to...

Guys, I'm in a TRD Pro and we all know the buyer's remorse as soon as we jump on to a forum whether you have a Pro or not... So, I'm trying to stay within the limits of the truck's suspension without having to dump the Pro's Fox Suspension that I paid for... Rookie mistake, I know.. I don't plan...

Hey ya'll i'm upgrading my suspension soon and would love some input. 3'' lift, upgraded UCA's, Icon RXT leaf pack, and 285 tires. However, I've been having second thoughts about the 285's after hearing people saying to regear first. Should I put off the 285's and 3" lift until I can get...

What’s up peeps, I’ve seen so many people going with OME springs and Bilstein shocks instead of OME shocks. Why is this?

Hey ya'll making the move to upgrade my suspension for better performance and fit 285 tires. Through my research, I have decided to go through with Locked Off Road Shocks. Is anyone else running these? Or thoughts?

Okey dokey . Tried to adjust them on the truck, off the truck ( not in that order) The cheap sh*t tool you get to adjust them breaks, issue with this, they know about it, robbing other kits to replace the one that broke (not just me) Anyone else dealing with this and can cast some wisdom. No one...

I've heard of other people doing this setup for $500. I can only seem to find the parts for around $800. Should I be looking anywhere else?

I know there's posts like this, but I have a 2018 Taco TO. I'm looking for a 2-3" lift. I don't want the spacers I want to do it the right way which I heard is by lifting with the leaf springs and suspension. I'd like to stick around 1$k and later down the road I'll upgrade to something nicer...

So was wondering if anyone knows if you can run 33s and a 2” leveling kit without rubbing. Currently have 33’s on it and I barely rub on the front part of the inner fenderwell and just a little on the upper control arms if I take a driveway too fast and too much of an angle. Had planned to...

I am looking to increase the tire size of my 2017 Tacoma to 285 75 17. What suspension lift kits and modifications are needed to accommodate that tire size. Would it be better to drop down to a 285 75 16 and reduce all the extra time, money and extensive labor ? Thank you for the help

For weeks I've been going back and forth between Fox extended mid travel 2.5 dsc kit and kings 2.5 Remote Coilovers w/ Compression Adj. I know they are both badass companies and both shocks are better then the other in certain areas. I plan on running full steel all around the truck. Full...

First off I apologize I am new to this forum and I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse but my search has landed me no answers. I want to get the OME lift with 886 coils. I have a slim from bumper from victory and plan to add a winch. Pretty straight forward but I question the rear. I have a hard...

So I just did scs ray10s and 265/70/17s. With a heat gun and dremel I've been able to get pretty much all the clearance I need but I'd still like to get maybe an inch of lift in the front. I don't want a leveling kit that uses spacers and I don't want a full lift kit because honestly, I don't...

I'm going to be installing some Sumo Springs and I'm not sure what the u-bolts on the rear axle need to be torqued back down to.

Can anyone shed some light on this brand shock and suspension system specifically made for Toyota ? They are not a Toyota owned company from what I understand. I finally fo

I purchased a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport 4wd. And it was already bilt a little bit. It had a lift kit and some off road tries and wheels. However. I notice that the ball joint from the upper control arm is rubbing in the stick suspension. I’m not sure what is causing that problem. Also, I have...

Hey all, first post here so bear with me. I'm looking to get about 2" lift all the way around for my 2016 TRD OR DCSB. I am looking budget wise at 6112 (5/6 notch) and 5100s extended travel with HS 3 leaf AAL in the rear. I would like to purchase a RTT at some point. I'm mainly a highway/ dirt...

Hello everyone I am VERY new to all of this and have absolutely no clue about anything truck related or anything about over landing, just a helicopter doctor and wanna get out with my buddies. I have a 2018 TRD sport, long bed 4wd, absolutely EVERYTHING is stock, found a bed rack, a roof(bed)...

I have a 16 2 wheel drive I’m looking to lift. Any suggestions helps!

Im new to this forum, I am looking at putting a few customization's additions to my truck. I am based in Louisville Kentucky. I know my model has stock lift already on it due to the essence of the TRD Pro. I was wondering if there is any way I can add a higher lift such as 2.5 to 3 inch. I have...

For the OME 887 kit, is it also necessary to get a leveling kit to clear 33” tires? I’m wearing out my stock sport tires and will be leveling up to 33s soon. I know i’ll be needing an alignment as well, so wanna make sure i get everything bolted on before going in for another alignment. Thanks!

So, as a newbie to IFS (only had solid axles until now) and reading all these threads on here and others, is the general consensus that if your lift is larger that 1-2", UCAs are a necessary upgrade to maintain correct/even tire wear? I've had this truck 5 months and even with rotations, I now...

I'm a total newb to suspension systems and lifts. I have attempted to google and read the suspension forum but the majority of it goes over my head. I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4wd with a 3"F/2"R Readylift SST Lift Kit running on 295 55R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I got the lift purely for...

I got 285/70/17 put on my 2019 TRD OR at discount tire the guy told me they would fit without rubbing but they don’t. So I didn’t want to do a spacer lift but I don’t wanna spend a whole lot getting these tires not to rub. That is why I was thinking of the 5100s. I do plan on taking it OR but...

I’ve been asked what UCAs I got. I got the HD ones here: https://tinyurl.com/JBArobdmanhd There’s a standard version too https://tinyurl.com/JBArobdmanstd which is still very very good but I just felt like going all in on this one. I was able to get 4.5 degrees of positive caster. Also I...

Lets talk cheap... now before y'all go bashing me hear my logic. I see so many people go out dropping $3,000 - $5,000 on suspension builds but they never seem to actually scratch the surface as to what these big money kits can do or are even made for. With that being said, I'm looking to see...

I've recently got a '17 DCLB TRD Off Road and want to move up to a 285/75r/16 wheel size. What are some recommended lifts, with or without cutting, that will allow me to run this tire size? I'm currently running 265/70r/16 with stock suspension. -Thanks

Was thinking about using Eibach kit for leveling. Anyone use one and like it/dislike it? Should get +2 in the front and +1 in the rear from what I have read. This would be perfect for my purposes. Daily driver and overlanding on the weekends with possible long drives and some...

I’m very new to my toyota and it’s my first smaller truck. (‘19 Tacoma). I like to be able to hook up the trailer and throw the bikes on so I can go play for the day. The trouble I’m finding is that I’m pretty much on my bump stops all the time. I don’t tow all that often but every few weekends...

I have a 2018 DCSB trd sport. It’s my daily driver and at some point I wanna do a mild lift/wheels/ tires. What’s the minimum lift needed to fit 285/75/16s? I don’t want more lift than necessary because it makes it that much more difficult to get my bike in the back and more importantly, I don’t...

OME states in their application sheet that their springs will only fit their own shocks. Toytec also states this on the product page. Eibach also states this. However, a note one their page states that "Extended travel shocks are required" but also "Must be used with Eibach Pro-Truck shocks"...

What do you guys like Long travel or Mid Travel, I've been hovering over thought of the All-Pro Long Travel kit, paired with Fox suspension. What do you guys think?

I'm ready to buy a lift for my 2019 DCSB TRD Off Road. The truck is my daily driver so I want to maintain a nice ride. I will also be using the truck to tow 4 wheelers and some possible "light" off roading. I've been reading all of the different lift threads here and think I have a good idea...

I was just wonder how you guys where financing your suspension? I don’t have 6 grand sitting around . Yet I see all of you guys with these dope king and icon setups with 33” tires . I want to hook my truck up and take it off-road .

What are everyone's thoughts on compression adjusters? If you have them, have you actually used them? With the price not being too much to add them (buy once, cry once), I'm trying to decide...Useful, nice to have if needed or use money someplace else? Thanks!

I am placing my order for B6112 but it’s the older set that will work on the 3rd gens. I would like to k ow if anyone has this setup and if so what setting did you use? I want to fit 285/70/17 or 255/85/17. Any advise would be great and if you have pics that would be great also.

Well, buy once cry once, is the motto I think a lot of us live by and rather than buy the suspension in stages I went big right away. I ordered a mid-travel stage 4A from Accutune Offroad who specialize in tuning off the shelf shocks to fit the configuration and weight requirements of your...

Anyone running this set up in the front and rear? I'm close to pulling the trigger but want to make the initial purchase the right one, without having to change anything in the near future. After the suspension, i will likely get a bed rack and RTT, along with normal gear in the rear, and a...
