Depending on your wheel and tire choice, you may notice a difference. I definitely did notice a difference in both acceleration and deceleration. My tires are E rated and very heavy.
Awesome video Matt, thanks for posting......cant wait till mine shows up later this month.....been eight months and counting. Glad to hear others are fans of the KO2's
How do you like the ride with the Icon AAL over stock? I currently have the block from Westcott Designs in the rear but want something that won't sag much with a bed rack and rooftop tent.
I love the ride of the AAL. However, after the summer of carrying heavy loads, the AALs seem to have permanently taken a set. Very disappointing. I’m currently looking for an upgraded heavy duty leaf pack
@@mattstacotruck I won't be carrying any heavy loads other than a tent and camp/roadtrip essentials, either way I'm sure they'll be a much better upgrade than the Westcott blocks that comes with the kit and the stock leaf pack that as already almost fully flattened unfortunately... thanks for the info!
What load rating did you get for the KO2s? Interested if you went with Cs or Es and if you noticed and difference is ride quality or handling. Planning on getting the same exact rack setup and carrying some kayaks, so i'm on the fence on which load rating to get.
Awesome set up! Have a lunny pro 21 as well. Tires how are the ko2’s. Road noise? I’m on the fence on ko2’s vs Toyo open country. Any thoughts much appreciated
I went with KO2s because they were known to have low road noise and I can confirm that they minimal road noise. Then again, all of the other stuff on my truck is so noisy that it could be drowning out all the road noise. Lol
Since running this setup, did you notice a drop in MPG? Also, is there any negatives in additional wear and tear on the car? Also how is the ride quality after this setup? Super informative video! I really want to upgrade to 33’s with the West Cot lift kit, your setup looks great!
Matt, I have the same truck, '21 TRD Pro. I know you don't need to change the UCAs when you do the Westcott Lift, but wondering if you feel any differences? I was opting to put some SPC or Total Chaos UCAs after my installation. Thoughts?
It might sound weird, but I actually thought the suspension felt better after adding the Westcott lift. UCAs are optional with the Westcott kit...I did not need them. My was able to get everything aligned within factory specs and no rubbing. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching
Nice video Matt! I have the same truck ‘21 TRD Pro Super White, Westcott lift, add-a-leaf, with RSI Smartcap. This was very helpful for when I decided to get 33s. Not sure if I can wait much longer.
Hey Matt - new to the channel appreciate the info! I’m about to get either the Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD or the TRD PRO…. I’ve heard that with the money saved by getting the OFF ROAD I can add better suspension, better wheels and more and have exactly what I want. Help a newbie out… is this true. Thank you
oh man....not good. I don't really track it carefully since there is not really anything I can do about it. lol. It's just one of those things that I had accept when buying a Tacoma.
I hope this helps you all fit 33's on your Tacomas!!
Pretty nice vid you made vid super clearly thank you
You install spidertrax wheel Spencer?
From a gladiator and jj jr owner to a owner of 2 tacos, you have good taste and a new subscriber.
haha thanks! and you have a good eye!
Notice much power loss with the increased tire weight?

Except you used KO2s... which are really more like a 31? Idk... but KO2s are undersized by a lot
Awesome video Matt, thanks for posting......cant wait till mine shows up later this month.....been eight months and counting. Glad to hear others are fans of the KO2's
Wow…long wait, but I bet you got a killer deal. Congrats!
@@mattstacotruck happy with MSRP.....lol last place wanted 56k and that was with a discount could not walk out of that place fast enough.
Hi Matt,
When installing your icon aal, did you have to take off the 1/2” block thats on the rear of the trd pro or you left it on there?
How do you like the ride with the Icon AAL over stock? I currently have the block from Westcott Designs in the rear but want something that won't sag much with a bed rack and rooftop tent.
I love the ride of the AAL. However, after the summer of carrying heavy loads, the AALs seem to have permanently taken a set. Very disappointing. I’m currently looking for an upgraded heavy duty leaf pack
If you just have a rack and tent, you might be ok….but if you take a few trips with a heavy load in the bed, the AALs may sag

Great video. Do you remember what your caster ended up being set at?
Thank you! I don't remember off the top of my head. I'll check my records
@@mattstacotruck awesome. Thanks. It's been a struggle getting my Tacoma's alignment dialed in and I have a very similar set up to yours.

@@mattstacotruck That's sweet! Okay cool...You mind sharing the ballpark range of what you paid for the entire job?

Awesome! Glad I could help! It was such a PIA for me to find reliable info, so I’m glad you found this video. Thanks for watching!
4 minutes on before you admit that they rub. Nice.

How much MPG you getting ?
oh man....not good. I don't really track it carefully since there is not really anything I can do about it. lol. It's just one of those things that I had accept when buying a Tacoma.
255/85R16 tires have a diameter of 33.1 BFG - NO LIFT NO RUB - GO WITH THE SKINNY
Thought about it, but I wanted wider tires. If that works for you, awesome! Thanks for watching
@@mattstacotruck Just putting out options - Fun times ahead - I really want 37's
