Question about lifts

[skullztrucker]

Thanks offroad and whipper. You guys definitely know your sh!t

DSM can hook it up with longer rear Billies that will work with 3 inches of lift.

 

[skullztrucker]

I think like hoss I'm going to stay in the 2" range. Mostly road driving with the occasional hill climb/mini mudding

 

[OffroadTaco4x4]

That's what I got, the truck still has a little rake with 2 in the back and 2.5 in the front, which I like

 

[skullztrucker]

I already have a mud truck. So I'm just looking to make this taco a little more versatile

 

[skullztrucker]

I was just ordering my bilstein 5100 and dsm has fronts at 0-2.5" but the rears for 0-1.5" or 3-4" but if I'm getting the 2"aal. Won't the rear 1.5" be to short

 

[OffroadTaco4x4]

For the rear shocks with the 2in AAl I think you have to get the 5125 in stead of 5100s, they are the same shock but just for different lengths. Don't get the 1.5 one

 

[OffroadTaco4x4]

If you go to my first link, the rear shocks you need are the 5125, part number 24-21

 

[Konaborne]

you can run stock length with a 1.5" AAL

this is me, way back when I was running a toytec AAL and stock length 5100's before the bottom-out incidents

 

[skullztrucker]

But if I go with the 1.5" aal then the 1.5" rear bilstein should fit?

 

[OffroadTaco4x4]

Yeah, the 0-1.5" rear billy will fit just fine for the 1.5 AAl

 

[skullztrucker]

Thanks time to complete the order

 

[OffroadTaco4x4]

Good luck man, you will be happy with the end result. I know I was.

 

[skullztrucker]

I'll put up the pics when I'm done

Out of curiosity. Any thoughts on the fabtech 3" uniball uca Rocky mountain suspension kit

 

[whippersnapper02]

Fabtech is pretty much junk.

When you get into coil overs and ucas you're getting into a whole new price range. I think whipper has a pretty good setup, but if you want to see some other options In that price range check some of this stuff out http://camburg.com/toyota/05-12-tacoma/

 

[Konaborne]

I'm running a mid travel setup as well

havent seen those UCA's before, those look like weak ass gussets on the inboard eyes...why are they so far off to the side?
and why the gussets around the uniball cup?

if you're going to move into midtravel territory, there are much better options out there

edit: looking at it

I don't think i've seen 1" uniballs on 2nd gen uca's before, usually theyre 1.25"

1st gens are usually 1"
