100 percent correct lol, but from what I’ve gotten from many people over the months if you seriously are never going to touch dirt you’ll be fine but then again overtime those spacers will stress out a lot of your suspension parts so in the end you’ll end up spending more (don’t no anyone that’s happen to yet) but it’s just what I’ve heard from many, of you don’t want to spend big money u can do the same lift I did it’s a great, reliable, known, suspension bilstien 5100 for the front and bilstien 5160 for the rear or if you want to go even cheaper just go bilstien 5100 all the way around there adjustable shocks so u can do any of the sizes you’d like I have mine set for 2.5 inch lift and I’m super stoked with it hope that helps if you have questions let me know
i didn’t do aal so my rear is a little lower than the front but u can’t really tell i just didn’t do it the money factor, in not running a rtt(roof top tent) or do I ever load my bed truck with any kind of heavy weight, and it’s a 2.5 inch up front with stock springs if u get upgraded springs and uca’s (upper control arms) u can do the full 3inch lift but that will cost a lot more $, 5100 is roughly $100-150 a shock depending where u buy them the rear 5160 shocks are roughly $150-200 also depends where u buy then amazon I’ve seen them have them a bit cheaper (just take note the front shocks are the same so u can order qty:2 but the two rear shocks are different so different part number) then after just depends if u install yourself will be free or if u take it in to get installed depends what they charge you and also anytime when you mess with suspension make sure you get an alignment as well ?, you don’t have to do tires and wheels but it defenitly will look a lot nicer if you do so you won’t have such a big wheel gap lol ? any other questions my friend
I feel you man these trucks get expensive quick lol, your welcome if you have more questions let me know,
Lol if you want not forcing you but on my channel I have step by step install videos for new tacoma owners like myself you can check them out there youtube.com/jesserizo
Lol no problem ?
You may not get the full 2.5-3” you want with a simple 5100 setup. But since you said it is totally for looks, you would be just fine with a block/spacer to add some more height if you really want to (ensuring to watch your UCA, CV shaft, and driveshaft angles).
Spacers and blocks become an issue when doing heavy off-roading. I’ve seen blocks slip out from under people’s rear diffs and spacers cause people’s front coilovers to blow. Depends on your application. If you went 5100’s and it wasn’t the height you were wanting you can put a smaller spacer on there to get the desired height. I ran a 2” spacer on my front coilovers for about s year with heavy off-roading and was completely fine.
I had the 5100s on OME 887 coils set to the second to highest notch. I was never satisfied with the height it got me, but I did also gain some extra height in the rear because I used heavy duty leaf springs. So I wanted to get the front to match the rear more.
You don’t HAVE to. It is recommended for a few different reasons, but ultimately you could run the stock ones for this lift. Many people do it. What kind of wheeling do you think you’d be getting into though?
I honestly would not be doing anything extreme. Mainly just rough roads and mountains. Just love to level it and put a more of an aggressive tire on.
I think stock UCAs are right for you then.
Awesome thank you.
