A couple weeks ago we had the chance to install a lift on a brand new Taco! It was nice working on something so new and clean!

Will you post some still photos please, of the final build? Thank you!
Sure... Right now i am just trying to get all the problems from the factory worked out
at the dealership. If you have a automatic transmission, take it back to your dealership and
watch them check it for you. All new Tacoma's left their factory low on fluid. They needed to
be checked and topped off. What a nightmare!!

Here is a picture of a 2016 Taco Running this kit. We didn't get after pictures of the one in the video. We did the install for the dealer and they were supposed to let us know once they put the new wheels and tires on.. I guess it looked so good it sold before we got to see it.
Nice inchworm, thank you for following up...I don't see a pic attached will you re-post please? I dig that Sand color, I'm sure the Tacoma looked amazing when it was all finished. Am very curious which wheels and tires they put on it too?

oops not sure where the link went. I believe these are the same wheels and tires they put on the one we did but can't say for sure.
I just build the T-cases in the back corner of the shop so I don't really know whats going on haha
Does Our LRT Leveling/Lift Kit fit the 2016 Tacoma? - Low Range Off Road Blog
DANG that looks GOOD!
Wouldn't recommend that lift to anyone its purely to clear tires you're gonna be pissed when your new truck rides worst than your old truck and the upper control arm rubs the coil spring when you go through the smallest flex point. I've experienced a similar lift on my first gen tacoma when I was a young 20 year old with no money. I'm currently building up a 2013. I first took a set of new 5100's with a stock spring with 5000 miles and put it on the top setting of the 5100 to get the 3inch lift it handled like crap and was stiff as a board. I might add that I also have the ALLPro UCA's to avoid issues with the factory UCA's & lift. Since then I've replaced the stock coils with a set of OME 887's set on 0 on the 5100's and it rides better than stock. Also this particular leveling kits uses blocks the cheapest and worst way to gain lift better off going with an add a leaf and a or slightly longer shackle. There are a lot of good lift choices out there depending on how much coin you want to spend and what your doing with the rig ICON, FOX and several more.

So you have never ran this lift? Yet you are talking bad about it? Several Toyota dealer ships sell brand new trucks with this lift on it..
We sell other lifts too all the ones you named and more.. they all cost a lot more.. This lift does not effect factory ride for better or worse.. It lifts the vehicles and allows you to run bigger tires.
Also we have never had an issue with the control arm rubbing on the coil spring. Maybe the lift you installed was different or was installed incorrectly..
This lift if not for everyone. It is for some though.
Here is an old article about it on Tundra Head Quarters
Fair enough, but a spacer lift no matter who is manufacturing the spacers yields the same results in my experience. Like you said this lift isn't for everyone mostly the cheapest route to clearing larger tires. Just trying to make sure people know what they're getting into.
