Spacers are spacers, doesn't matter who makes them but they're all junk. Anything more than a small top hat spacer / shim is going to kill your ride quality. Trust me, I made the mistake of lifting my 2016 Tacoma 3" with spacers. You get what you pay for.

 

Thanks I figured that might be the case.

 

Rear spacers are fine. front is a bad idea.

 

What would be the most economical and best way to get 2in lift.

 

What's your budget and who will be doing the install

 

1000 installed by shop or installed by me if not to bad

 

Spacers in the back with 5100 series shocks. Adjustable 5100 series up front with the stock coils set at .85

 

I figured that was the answer. The shop told me they wouldn't even install bilstein. They said it was hard to do and not worth it. Everything I have read on hear says different

 

Sounds like you're dealing with a clueless shop that should be avoided. I went with the ToyTec Ultimate kit and added a 3/4" spacer in the back. Installed myself, into it for maybe $1600 super easy bolt in swap for the stock stuff. With what I said about, having a shop install it, you won't be into it for less than $1000, probably more. You can't swap the springs from your stock coilovers to the Bilsteins yourself either. IMO, spend a little more and get the ultimate kit. No spring swapping, no need for a shop, do it yourself.

 

Ok thanks for info

 

Where are you from and what shop told you Bilstein was junk?

Understand that - simply was saying what I run on my Tacoma - Sorry for the confusion

 

That looks awesome man I have the same truck, color and all. Still stock everything at this point but will b making upgrades soon. I like that matte black look though

 

Attended an Expedition Overland viewing party with it. First time meeting some of the Utah offroad guys since moving here from TX

Finished up my photo blog for our 8 day 3600 miles Utah and Colorado trip from a week ago. Spent all our time, minus hiking and meals, in the 4R; slept in the back every night.

The last 4 months worth of upgrades, new shoes, weather guards, NFab nerf bars. Up next will be the grill swap to the Pro Toyota logo.

 

DIY Lift Jack Rock Slider Adapter

 

Nice!

 

I would not lift you vehicle like that with your "sliders".

 

Agreed. Those are NOT sliders and will not support the weight of the truck. They're simply over built steps that bolt to the body the same way the stock steps do. You will cause serious damage to the truck and possibly yourself if you jack the truck up using those steps.

 

Today I got my flag on...

 

Today DIY Rock Slider Stent

 

Just cleaned it up!!

 

Those welds are way to cold, no penetration. Not trying to knock your work but I wouldn't trust those under the weight of the truck. Great design but they need to be welded properly.

 

Weld-on sliders from 4x innovations came in today, hella fast shipping! Ordered them on Thursday, and they showed up today. Pretty stoked they arrived, can't wait to get them mounted on the wife's 2017 TRD OR T4R.

 

We just started our build so nothing too exciting happened today. We did get some molle storage racks installed. Here’s a short video of it-

I finally upgraded my headlights (worst feature on the 4Runner) to HID's. Who would have thought you would buy a 40K+ TRDPRO with crap headlights!
