Forsure, I’m glad I could help!

1” body lift and 0 offsetting wheels

You can get 0- offset on the wheels with 1.25” wheel spacer. Then you just have to hammer back some pinch welds behind the front tires for the full wheel travel. But it’s nothing like chopping up the cab to fit 35s on a Tacoma

Compressing the coil, running the nut up, Will increase ride height.

I am unsure, I have only got fox 2.0 on a 2012 f150 and a 1st gen Tacoma

Maybe, no idea. The reason I had to crank the coils up is because after 4 years of wheeling, they started to sag, and I wanted the original height back. I haven’t done a full rebuild yet

I wheel harder than you

This truck has fox 2.0 coils that are about a 2” suspension lift. But to fit wide 33s and 35 inch tires you need more clearance, so I did a 1.5” body lift. The tuff country lifts can be weird, they usually are just cheap blocks inbetwen the suspension and may mess up your suspension. Or they do a diff drop in the front, but keep the stock drive shaft and that can mess stuff up. I have since sold this truck, but I also had old man emu leaf springs in the back.

But I would recommend against the fox 2.0 coils in the front. They are pretty expensive, hard to adjust and not the beefiest. Probably stick with blisteens or old man emu coils if you buy some.

@@toyotabros6860 thanks. I might go the used route like you did. Guy on marketplace is selling jba I think upper control Arms and fabtech 2 lift coils for around 500. I definitely would like To go with some old man emu springs in the rear. Idk what's going on in the front or how it's lifted or the reason for the aftermarket knuckles.

I had SPC upper control arms and they did fine. But the rubber boot on both sides it break. The reason for after market knuckles is Toyota stopped making them for the gen 1 tacomas. So if they break, you have to buy after market. I still had the stock knuckles and wheel bearings at 230k miles. And I was wheeling on 35s a little after this video was taken.

By adjusting the springs as shown in the video. The ride height will increase. And the stiffness of the spring will increase as well.

@@toyotabros6860 Ok, but even increasing the height as much as possible, is it still a comfortable suspension?

Beside towing Broken jeeps, we don’t tow with it that much. But it is pretty high. It’s the same height as the frame.

This is a I5

Much better

This truck didn’t come with ATRAC. At the time of filing in had the stock rear locker, but shortly after filming we installed a front locker.

It really depends on the nut distance to height gain. Mine could’ve of been different because I am running 1.25” wheel spacers, with center offset wheels. Also my shocks are about 4 years old. Yes, on the fox 2.0 with aluminum threads, they won’t spin with any load on them, you have to take them out of the truck, which is a real pain.

No

Yes, the 33% increase at the transfer case, and then 4.56s in the diff.

It has old man emu suspension, with the torsion bars cranked in the front. 1 inch body lift. They are great SUVs, this one has over 400k miles!

245/85/16s are smaller. And I didn’t want that.

Do you want to tell me why? This truck now sits on 35s, front arb locker, and 4.88 gears. No problem, and it wheels harder than 99% of people on the trail. Or do you just say stupid stuff without backing it up with information?

It should be hitting 400k miles this winter on it. Same engine and transmission.

@@toyotabros6860bad ass bro mine has 354k miles

“loWeR tHe AiR” - dummy on the internet

​@@toyotabros6860you have a lot to learn.

@@toyotabros6860don’t post it next time if you cant handle the criticism. Dummy!

I wheel hard than you both.

Yes sir

Factz they are tanks

Thanks! Once these tires are done, we are going to get some 37s!

Yes sir

When I threw the 2.0s onto my Tacoma straight out of the box, it leveled the truck. But since the old leafs springs in the back we’re sagging, it made the front ride 1/4” higher than the back. But in theory the fox 2.0s should level the truck. And no spacer should be needed.

These fox coils are stiffer than stock, but not as stiff as Old Man Emus. But ether option is fine. Also, I have blown out skyjackers and stock Toyota shocks on trails. But after 5 years, the coils are still good. As well as the fox shocks in the back.

And if your back leafs are sagging, I really like the Old Man Emu leaf springs in the back, but I took one leaf out of the pack to make it ride smoother, and it was pretty good

@@toyotabros6860 okay sweet. Appreciate the quick response brotha 🤙🏽

You could try it using WD-40 and a hammer. But it still might not work. I tried lowering a f150 with fox 2.0s and the coils didn’t budge. We had to take them off.

Any lower and we started loosing significant ground clearance when going over rocks

I am not sure, but i do have the fox serial number for the lower bushing Bearing - 001-00-023 Retaining ring -038-00-092 Rubber o ring 029-00-321 When I google the bearing serial number, it comes back as a spherical bearing.

I am sure it’s a spherical type.

@@toyotabros6860 Thanks and thanks for the video. I think I am ready for this upgrade!

We made this one our selves. A couple years it was worth the money building your own bumper. But recently with metal being so expensive it might not be. I bought my Tacoma rear bumper from “Marlin crawler” and it wasn’t that much more expensive than if I were to build it myself. We will try to do a video on this cruisers front and rear bumper.

Awesome! Thank you

The distance from the wheel hub to the lower control pivot point is about twice long from the distance to the pivot point to the shock. With my 1.5" wheel spacers it created just over a 2" lift. But remember, the fox 2.0 coil come stock with a 1.5" lift from the factory ( I think).

It comes 2 inch from the factory!@@toyotabros6860

For sure, I’ll see what we can do. It’s a pretty interesting bumper because we also had to reenforce the whole back end of the truck. Because in a previous trip we bent the frame pulling it out of mud.

I’ve got the same cruiser, color and everything. I love that front bumper. Any chance you could tell me if you made it or where to find one?? Thank you

It went from 4.5” from fender to tire to around 6.5”. But I had SPC uppers and 1.5 wheel spacers

And 3” was a bit stiff for my truck since I don’t have any camping gear in it. I would maybe see how they feel stock or not more than 2.5, unless you are carrying a bunch of stuff

How many threads is stock height? Mine came pre set at 2” lift

I think at this point we only had a rear locker, but recently we put in a harrop front locker

@@toyotabros6860 Thanking of going Harrop rear soonish to go with my A-TRAC.

2uz

15 in the front, 12 in the back

@@toyotabros6860 Nice! Looks like if you lose any momentum in that sand, you get stuck lol

Ya, luckily it was steep so we could always back down, but it was deep sand, just walking up the hill the sand would be above my ankles. Are you gonna hit the barracks trail? That’s where this is at.

@@toyotabros6860 I would love to! I have a ton of places on my list for places to hit! Looking to install 35s or 37s later this year on my ZR2

That’ll be sweet!
