Nope no spacers.

Robert-

I have been reading through your build threads both here and on Tacoma World. Great detail, nice truck. Thank you for providing this info to readers, kind of like a magazine!

Based on your thread it looks like you are running OME 886 springs with OME Nitrochargers AND a Wheelers Offroad 10MM Top Spacer. Is this correct?

If so, have you had any issues with the UCA ball joints or CVs dues to the angle? Also, have you changed out the bump stop?

What is your impression of the ride after a few years of variable terrain?

Is your sway bar back on the vehicle and if not how do you feel about how it handles on a sharp corner at high speed?

Thanks for the info!

I am planning an upgrade that may require migrating from 885s to 886s but I dont want to loose lift.

You are correct, I am running 886, nitrochargers and 10mm spacer. When I first installed it, it sat higher than I wanted, but it settled nicely, you could probably get away without the 10mm spacer, but with my truck, load, and the HD dakars in the rear, she sits perfectly level with the spacer. I have not had any issues with CV angle UCA or anything yet. (Knock on wood).

My sway bar is still off and I have had no issues (she is my daily driver). You just have to be aware you are in a truck and not a sports car. As far as long term reviews, I love my setup. It has performed flawlessly, and is still going.

Jason, I shot the video, on Cleghorn (210 East, 15 North, Exit Cleghorn before you get to the Cajon Pass grade, make a right, trail starts right there), trail ends near Silverwood Lake.

Cleghorn is a nice graded road with some easy, moderate, and technical bypasses.

What's some updates to the truck bud? One of the best ones out there in my opinion.

[barlowrs]

Thanks...nothing really new yet, mainly just getting out in her on the weekends.

Let see, things comming up soon:

- New tires (blew a sidewall in Mojave....not a very fun mod, but one that steals money from better things)
- Dual Batt (got everything I need, just need to buy a second batt and do the install)
- Flippac (WOOO HOOOO....ordered a few weeks ago, just gotta wait for it...with this comes a whole pethora of mods...cant WAIT)
- I am planning on revamping my interior layout, so that will be happening as well (starting to get to many switches for my original layout)

I will kee this thread updated for ppl that are intrested.....just been focusing on paying off all my debts (car, student loans, etc) and getting out rather than building latley. But it's about to start again! haha

[pnorvell]

That's quite a list! Looking forward to seeing what you'll do!
