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.

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.

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

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
 
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
 
i have it lifted on blocks right now.. but i bought it like that... but i dont like spacers

xp1ik05 10-10-2007 01:51 AM

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......
