With this setup you should be well within specs. As stated you are best served by adding a weight distribution hitch. I use a fastway E2 but there are many on the market. In my opinion this should be setup before towing. The Tacoma springs have a lot of squat and this will remedy most or all...

THIS particular lift will not screw up any sensors or require any recalibrations. The dealership DOES have specs they need in order to align it. It should take them less than 45 minutes once it's on the rack.

Hogwash. I work at a dealership. I installed the same spacers you did on my 25 and my techs aligned it perfectly without a so much as a peep.

Sticking around for this one. I want something LOUD. I'd be up for a kit from hornblasters but can't be bothered with the extensive install. I'd much prefer something self contained if it'll get me some additional volume and good tone.

KO3 if you don't see much snow. Fantastic tire but it is a desert racing tire by design. Can't beat the look! If you live somewhere that sees snow then the two tires below are 3 peak mountain snow flake rated, have good ride quality, always balance well, and are head and shoulders above any...

Do you have a link for the bar and wiring adapter you purchsed?

Any thoughts on what the black plastic piece is at the front of the skid plate. I just put my trailhunter skid on and the plastic bit doesn't make sense to me.

Weight distribution hitch or Airlift bags. If you are able to use the hitch I recommend it as it retains proper front end weight distribution. Bags are also a great solution. You could go extra and do both. Any questions on them just ask. Some may have been answered already but happy to...

This makes perfect sense. In some cases airlift can spec a kit with a longer bag, not sure if they can do this with any kit but they have on a couple of occasions for me. I could see cradles being useful for the serious off roaders.

I see it now. Makes some sense. Airlift kits, in the manual, state that you can lift your truck from the frame. This would indicate you can safely offroad as well seeing as your axle can hang safely. I guess in the case of severe offroad use there may be some limitations. For most I think...

This appears to be more of a bump stop bag application rather that a load lifting application. In my years of installing bags for the use case of towing I've never seen anyone want the bag to become disconnected. I like the concept in theory but then you'd have to have a way to mount the...

Try a tad less. As long as there is some pressure in there you should be ok. Just don't run them at zero. You should almost not be able to tell they are there.

The cradles are bolted on at both ends, they do not come disconnected during operation. With the airlift kit I wouldn't even call them cradles, they are really vehicle specific mounting brackets.

Reference photo. This is my new 25 Tacoma OR with a 4K camper, approx. 400lb tongue weight. I'm using a weight distribution hitch. I have approx 1.5" of rear sag and no lift to the front. The hitch puts the weight back down on the front so it doesn't lift. I could (and did while adjusting)...

To answer a couple questions. Yes, if you run airlift bags you CAN lift your truck by the frame. It's right in the user manual. The above would also indicate that you can both lift the truck and offroad without tearing them. Additional perches are generally not necessary on airlift kits...

I'm just down in Hastings so not far away at all. If you used to race it would probably be painful to ride at my pace, lol. If you'd like to have them done here we could do them at the dealership, we aren't far from you at all. I have some amazing techs here that do some seriously quality...

I do bike Lebannon but that photo was at Memorial in Red WIng. Leb is still pretty techy for me but I do like it. I was at an independent shop that did a ton of lifts and wheels/tires, etc but am now at the largest Toyota dealership in the state. So if I can be a resource in any way I am...

Love seeing some fellow MTBers! I'm pretty new to it, just started last year so I'm mostly just trying not to stroke out when I ride but I'm hooked and riding a few times a week now. Back on the topic, I've never heard anyone regret air bags. You can eliminate all of the sag AND keep a pretty...

Bump stops simply limit bottom travel. Doesn't fix sag. Any shock that reduces sag also reduces ride quality to some extent. Bags increase ride quality when in use. In my experience, outside of a a quality weight distribution hitch they are the best thing out there. Watch some install...

It allows your suspension to function as normal. It just inflates to raise it when needed. The bags basically sit there useless when not inflated. They aren't horrible to install on your own but you will need to jack the vehicle by the frame and basic wrenched and sockets are needed...
