Apparently a lot of people don’t understand how a preload spacer works. While it is true that when you reassemble the coilover with the spacer, you need to compress the spring more than when you took it apart, in order to get the top hat nut back on. However, when you have the top hat...

How do small 1-1.5” spacers “really hurt” the ride?

That would be my assessment as well.

I went with the Peak 1” preload and Cornfed 3/4” top spacer for 1.75” total front lift. I also did the Cornfed 1” rear lift. Stock UCA, no diff drop Yes I did an alignment, I had no rubbing before the alignment, but after I had rubbing on our oversized mud flaps here in Canada. Nothing a little...

A proper anti-sway weight distribution hitch like the Blue Ox Sway Pro is absolutely THE first towing “mod” anyone should do to their tow rig. What a properly set up hitch does is spread out the extra towing weight evenly across your braking axles. Adding air bags or Timbren’s could mask a...

Yes, that is correct. M14 lugs on 2024+ Tacomas.

What specific aspect of the ride are you looking to upgrade?

I would argue the stock Off-road Tacoma suspension is more capable than the stock off-road Tundra suspension. I’d also strongly disagree that the remote resi is for show. It holds extra cooling oil so that more of the shock body can be used for travel. I mean it’s your money, but I would...

Do they actually have longer travel than the new stock red off-road shocks with the piggy back reservoirs that were designed with the sway bar disconnect? This may have been true for the third gen, but now the stocks and the 5100s are the same diameter, plus the stocks have the remotes. I...

I can’t see the 5100s being much of an upgrade over the stock red Bilsteins.

It will fit, I ran 17x8 +20 with 285/70r17 on stock suspension and didn’t have any rub.

Thanks very much. They are Toyo R/T in 285/70R17. They do much better than I expected, but the mud out where I like to ride trails is pretty watery and not super slimy and sludgy.

Oops, I already loaded my truck down several times with 3-400lbs of camping gear, generator, fuel, water, recovery gear. It’s handled great on the roughly 350 km of rough road and trails I’ve had it on so far. I’d like to understand your post though, when my top hats fail, what part do I need...

Functionally, a preload spacer and a longer spring are going to do the exact same thing. Unless you want a different spring rate due to a lot of extra weight, I can’t see any reason to buy new springs over a preload spacer. Both options will reduce your shock travel though, however, the TRD off...

Not a dumb question at all. Experience is the only way to figure out offsets. One of the first guys on the forum to do aftermarket wheels last year went 0 offset with 285/70R17 on stock suspension and yes, it did rub. You’ll probably need 1.5” lift in the front or take off the crash plate for it...

That’s looks really nice, but man that’s expensive.

I’ve used Gaia and OnX, both work well. I think OnX is cheaper and has more deals, so that’s what I’ve used more.

Yeah that will be a really nice look with stock wheels.

No it won’t rub. If it does, your alignment is out.

No I don’t think it will rub. I have 17x8 +20 wheels with 285/70R17 tires which is 1.6” further out than stock and I don’t rub at all. Stock suspension too.
