01 Tacoma lift kit
So i have a 2001 Tacoma 4 cyl 2.7 liter 5 spd sr5.... ive been lookign for a lift kit for it but all ive found are the full systems from fabtech for 6" but i dont want something that big... and the only 3" and 3.5" lifts are coilovers... any feedback from using coilovers? good bad? anyone make a full system 3" lift? anything help would be appreciated.

Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
I'd get the coilovers for the front and add-a leafs for the back if all you want is 3". Highly recommend getting the diff. drop as well.
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
thanks a lot any idea of what kind of tire i can fit under there and if 33's will still look good
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
Look in to RCD. I did one of there 6.5" kits this weekend on an 03' tundra, kit was awesome!
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
www.toyteclifts.com they have what your looking for, go with a new spring dont cheap out and get spacers unless you really have too, coilovers are a lot of money but they are they best, you schould only need a dif drop if you go with a full 3inches, at 2.5 you will be ok without it....and you schould still be able to run 33's

Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
cornfed makes a spacer lift for it.
Old man emu makes coils. Leaves you can find just about anywhere. check around on ttora and you will find a plethora of information regarding different lifts |
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
im looking at the ugh 3" coil lift... OEM front and rear shocks... diff drop. all new bushhings. and a new brake cable. from that www.toyteclifts.com im trying to have this taco lifted but still last me forever without having a lift wear everythign down.... tell me if this is good or not or if i need something else thanks
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
ugh??? not sure who that is or im just having a brain fart, id upgrade the shocks if i were you, with a 3 inch lift you really arnt putting to much more stress on the truck, its a toyota so dont worry too much.....
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
im was upgrading them to the OEM shocks for front and back
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
what are the oem shocks??? id get some bilsteins, thats what im running on my truck and they are great......
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
thanks you get a lift from that site?
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
no im running adjustable bilsteins in the front and they didnt have them when i bought mine, they do now, but anyway there are a ton of people on the forums that run there lift kits, im evntually going to be switching to some springs that they have........hurry up and get that thing lifted asap, you can buy the tires i have for sale that will fit perfect.........https://www.vadriven.com/forums/offroad-4x4-archive-59/4-265-75r16-bfg-ts-206148/

Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
i have it lifted on blocks right now.. but i bought it like that... but i dont like spacers
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
um ok. take the blocks out, get an add-a-leaf or get your springs re-arched or buy some new rear springs all together, dont get a spacer lift for the front, get new springs, they sell a complete kit on there just buy that one......
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
k sounds good thanks for alll your help... dont know when ill have the money again ha but ill post some pics when its done
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
if i would have known about this i would have sold you mine.
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
by the way you aren't going to be able to fit 33's with a 3 inch kit without alot of rubbing issues.
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit

ummm no not true, im running 2.5 of lift with 33's.....granted im driving an 07 but the older trucks have a much easier time clearing 33's than the newer style, my buddys old 04 tacoma on 3 inch lift and 33's never had any rubbing problems, its the changing of the wheels that will get ya, its all about the backspacing and the stock rims will work fine, anything too much or less than stock will prob rub........
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
Just to point out, I have the old 94 stock (no lift S or B) and run 32 10.5's-16 and have no rubbing issues.

i believe you might have torsion bars that you can crank up a little bit for a little extra clearance.

i have a 95.5 tacoma with 3in body lift( not by choice) 33x12.50 15in tires and they rub pretty damn bad. 31x10.50s even rubbed in reverse
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
there anything i can get to get a fatter tire
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
3 more inches of lift via "body"
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
thats what i was thinking..... my wallets gonna hate me.. how much you think a 3" body and 3 inch coil willc ost to install
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
is it really worth putting a nasty ass body lift on for a maybe 1 inch wider tire???? you could get try some new rims with better backspacing to help prevent rubbing.........

Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
well i guess its just my opinion but i just think they look terrible, nothing as horrible looking as some frame hanging down and big ol'gaps, tacomas dont look tooo horrible but its still a body lift none the less
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
if done right you dont see any of that shit. i like em just because i have a lower center of gravity, meaning most of the weight is closer to the ground.
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
im not looking for much.. will it seriuos take a 3" to get 33's by 12.5 under there?
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
yes cause you will have decent wheel travel when you do.
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
so final question... from toytec.. should i get the 3"s coil lift with AAL's or get the coil overs for the front and AAL in the back? money isnt an issue
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
coilovers if money isnt an option......
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
all you need is a 2.5 spacer lift and an add a leaf in the rear i had 33's on my taco with little rub. really when i was deep in mud
|
Re: 01 Tacoma lift kit
dont like spacer's.. so coilover's it is... those toytec ones good?
