Tacoma... Lift??

[Bigtine96]

NO COILS ON THE 94' JUST SHOCKS UP FRONT AND LOOKING TO PUT THE OME DAKAR LEAFS IN THE REAR.

Woah woah! No need to use all caps on me lol

You can get dakars but I've heard a few people say they will sag after a bit. You could also go to a 1.5" aal.

 sorry for the caps. 1.5" aal?

[Bigtine96]

Add a leaf, its just a stiffer leaf spring that will sit in your leaf pack and give you added height and load capacity.

Right here brotha, toytec lifts are pretty damn good and respected.

[scottcrb]

oh yeah gotcha heard of those too. hope to do this all soon but may be after spring before it happens. any idea on the cost of those OME dakar springs for both sides?

[Bigtine96]

I know for a tacoma your over $300. Most just run a aal unless your going to be doing ungodly hard 4 wheeling.

Looks like white is the popular color here. Nothing done other than windows

I believe the opposite.
Toyota 'springs' are nothing you want under your truck.
AAL is a bandaid.
Get some real springs and be done with it.
Toytec likes the Eibach springs and they have a reputation of being stiff.

I'm not sure if this will help you thinkingman but, I ended up spending a fair amount of time under my truck trying to get rid of vibes. When I got the truck it had 3 degree shims in the rear and a 1.5 inch block, also a spacer in the carrier bearing. After measuring angles on the shafts, trans, and rear end the thing that got me closest to the proper angles was rotating the carrier bearing 180 degrees. No shims anywhere. I would like to lift the back another inch but I doubt I can do it without vibs coming back. Then the only fix I know of is the double cardan drive shaft.

Great stuff.
I will try it.

I prefer old man emu, but if he just wanted a 1.5"lift without a crappy block the aal works great and is 1/4th the price of a replacement leaf pack.

I'm running the same setup, OME coils, 5100s. I opted for blocks in the back, with air bags for towing. Love it. Especially after adding the ARB with Warn winch.

I wouldn't call an add-a-leaf a bandaid.  I've installed them in a lot of vehicles front and rear for people, and run them in my 08 Tacoma.  I'm also the one without the driveline vibrations here with Toyota springs and an add-a-leaf.  I would say that is a viable option for a little lift, and is better than a block that tends to induce axle wrap.

I looked at AAl for my rear and decided, with help from the vendor, that the AAL would not live long as the primaries.
If you still have any arch in your OEM leafs, it might work.
I use mine as a truck and Toyota clearly didn't intend that.
There is an interesting thread on Tacomaworld that talks about people adding Chevy leafs to their OE spring pack to get more support out of it.
