I was goint to pay to change my shocks now because of you i will save some money Thank you
I'm glad it helped you out!
Bro that ride must have been harsh af after that. You basically have two spacers in the front
What’s the size and length of the stud?
How about when you turn and hit a bump let alone off road? I have 285 75 16 K2O's w 2.5 bp51 suspension lift w total chaos upper arms. It rubs in the wheel well especially where the fender and fire wall meet. I just recently put on the spider trax spacers and it is so much worse. Any advice would be appreciated
My tires are 285/70/R17 and yours are a bit bigger than mine. Since you have the caster adjustable upper control arms, see if you can increase the caster. It should move your wheel forward away from the frame
Also, how thick are your wheel spacers?
cool
indeed. thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Do you need an alignment after that mod?
You can just stack these things on top of each other? Also how big was the thicker spacer you had on there. Thinkin about lifting mine
To fix the taco lean, the answer is yes. That thick spacer was part of the kit from rough country
how come warrant didnt cover this
Tire interference doesn't happen with stock size tires. This video series are for upgrading to 33" tires. Therefore it will not be an issue if you're running the stock sizes
Can you explain how adding the strut shim on the drivers side raised the passenger side also?
That's just settling of the spring. It still takes about half a day before the spring completely settles.
Then why does my tacoma lean towards the rear passenger side? Am I in for new leaf springs?
I would say inspect your truck in the following order:
1) check the weight distribution on your truck. Is the gas tank full? do you have stuf stowed on the passenger side? Did you relocate the battery?
2) Check if you have any bends or damage on the passenger side spindle.
3) check your struts for any bends and/or damage
just ordered my set today. hopefully it fixed my problem but i also noticed my truck would lean on the back. will this help that too or no?
It's possible. I recommend to install the spacer in the front and then remeasure. You can correct the back either by either shimming it or replacing the leaf springs.
KFlo's Tacoma Build i have brand new leaf springs that toyota put in for me due to a recall they had so i hope the spacer will help . & do you think it’s necessary to change the studs to put the spacer on?
The current studs will be too short. The kit will come with the new studs.
Hey KFlo, Thank you for the great content. Measured my 08 yesterday & found the same thing. Looking for the kit you got to correct the lean. Just curious tho, How did you make your Amazon storefront page? Looking to do the same.
thanks bro, you'll have to sign up for an amazon affiliates account. I think you need about 3K subs for it to work. Also, here's the link to the spacer: amzn.to/3mrDZf0
@@KFloTacoma Thanks for the replys. Looks like I gotta work super hard on getting subs lol. thanks again.
I dont have a spacer lift in the front. Do you think i could put the 1/2” spacer in without changing the studs?
1/2" thickness or 1/2" lift? They're different. 1/2" lift is actually only about 1/4" and don't have to change the studs
Where you buy that small spacer I need one for my same problem like your
Go to my amazon page it's under "suspension upgrades"
Went outside and measured My truck and sure enough it was leaning. Where can I buy the spacer and hardware. Cool videos
It's from wheelersoffroad.com search for toytec tacoma spacer. Its the 1/2" thick one.
great video, i have the same problem but would this spacer also take care of the back of the truck? my truck bed is tilted more towards the driver side... did yours have that too??
I would suggest doing this mod and then remeasuring. My current suspension setup is different so I cant tell you my exact measurements from the point in time this video was shot. You can check out my walk through video for my most current suspension setup
I have 20x12 with 33s , Not too much of the crawling ,
By the way, i was just thinking a little bit more about your rubbing issues this Morning. do both tires rub against the cabin mount? Or is it just one? Do you have wheel spacers on? The six inch lift should work btw if you wanted to just go that route and are only doing mostly pavement driving.
What size spacer do you recommend for a 1/2” lean on the driver side at full tank? Also you have the link? I clicked on the link but it takes me somewhere els
Hi Jaybuilt St, I've updated my Amazon recommendations page. My recommendation for the spacer for you 1/2" lean is under "suspension upgrades". Go to Amazon.kflo-krib.com
looking at doing the same to correct my taco lean, but cant decide on 1/4 spacer or getting the 1/2" like you purchased. I've got 2" front strut spacers on the truck right now, what do you recommend? can i get away with the 1/4" toytec spacer?
It's really dependent on you. What I would recommend is check the difference between the left and right side. My truck had a almost a 1" difference and the 1/2" spacer was able to level it out. If your difference is only a 1/2" then you can probably get away with a 1/4" spacer.
@@KFloTacoma mine has a 1/2 inch difference between the front sides and 1 inch difference between both the back sides. Driver side lean. What should I do?
Hello I have 2013 Tacoma and I was wondering how did you mounted the front license plate?
Hey Alex, my truck already had holes drilled into the bumper for a front lisence plate when I bought the truck used.
how do you like the duratracs for snow
Oh its awesome, check out the truck/tires in action on the snow: ruclips.net/video/xvMP502L00I/видео.html
I have the Tacoma lean on the driver-s side rear. How would that be fixed?
Your rear leaf springs may be sagging. First, check your truck for a recall because my rear leaf springs ended up being replaced completely due one. Go to www.toyota.com/recall and put in your VIN number. If that's not the case, I would recommend adding a leaf / replacing with higher quality leaf packs. Increasing spring stiffness for both sides should level it out. Watch that video in my channel.
Have any ride problems or anything stacking a spacer on another spacer? I want to put a 2 inch spacer on top on my 3 inch spacer, what’s your thoughts?
This is the maximum that you can stack for the regular spacer lift. A 2 inch spacer over a 3 inch spacer will require a lower control arm drop. Check out the 6" lifts that companies make. They have a 5" spacer but ALSO has a LCA drop.
I see your from Jersey, I’m in NY
Do you know or recommend anyone for the cabin chop ? Have you ever done one?
Unfortunately, I do not know any fab shops. I do fab work but haven't done the cab chop yet. I'll be doing it to my truck in a couple months though to test out the process.
They both rub , no spacers , I watched a video on custom offsets don’t know if spacers will help , i like the 3” lift , damn I’m confused on what to do
Ok. I see. Spacers wouldve caused it to rub a little bit more since it pushes the tire outwards - I wouldve suggested removing them first if you did have them.. Which lift kit did you get? If it's in your budget, the 6 inch lift should lift your truck high enough to clear the body mounts. If you do plan on rock crawling on the future, you would still need to do the body mount chop anyways. Another option may be the (which would be pretty expensive roughly $3k to $5k of work but would look awesome) long travel suspension. Look it up, it's pretty sweet! It will clear the body mounts and make the truck more aggressive looking - it would be one of the more expensive option and still have a lifted look. If you want a really cheap option, wait till the tires wear down and change to smaller tires. It's really all up to your budget though.
Actually disregard the long travel, I read more into it and you wpuld actually need to do other mods to make it work well.
Great videos! Did you do anything to fix the lean in the rear or only the front?
The lean was only in the front. The back was level
@@KFloTacoma what would you do if you did have a lean in the back? My 2013 Taco has about a 3/4" lean in the front and back
Take care of the front first and then remeasure. If there's still a gap You can then add a shim in the leaf pack. Wheelersoffroad.com look for SKU# TT TTFS. Install it like how you would install an add a leaf kit. Watch that vid in this channel. Good luck bro
The shim kit thickness would be dependent on your measurement post spacer install
@@KFloTacoma thanks man
what size are those spacers for the lift? Have you had any problems with ball joints?
The front spacers are 1.5" thick. I haven't had any issues with the ball joints at all
With the taco lean spacer was it hard to get the alignment right on it without lifted upper control arms?
Not at all. Check out my wheel alignment at home video. I was able to get the alignment in spec with simple tools
So do you think I would need lifted upper control arms to get the alignment right? I was gonna take it to the shop and have it alignment job done.
Short answer is no. Long answer is: toe and camber will be easily adjustable to keep into spec. Caster is fixed and is not completely adjustable. If your concern is tire wear then your ok as is. If your concern is how the wheel returns to center after turning and high speed handling, then you'd probably want to buy an adjustable UCA
Sup Kflo... will raising my Tacoma to 6 “ lift keep my tires from rubbing? I have a 3” lift now and they rub , really don’t want to do the cabin chop it’s brand new ( 2018 ) ...
What size tires are you planning on running? Are you also planning on doing some rock crawling?
Just chop the cab mount. Tacomas should all come with cmc. No regrets chopping my cab.
I lifted my truck 3" it has a vibration. I looked at some the tacoma pages on Facebook and some of those guys said it was the needle bearing. Do you know anything about that.
Is it a rythmic vibration? Does it go away when you turn on the 4wd. If you have both then yes it's a needle bearing issue. I am planning on rrplacing mine in the next couple of months so stay tuned
Never payed any attention to it in 4 wheel. Between 45 and 55 it has it.
Test it out to see if it disappears at 4wd.
Did you install it on both sides or just the side that’s leaning?
Just on the leaning side
Can you put the link for the spacer
Its on my Amazon Shop Page. Go to amazon.com/shop/kflostacomabuild . then its under suspension system
KFlo's Tacoma Build thanks fam
Thank you that will solve the problem of my truck
Where do I get them spring compressors
You can rent them for free at your local AutoZone, pepboys etc. You just need to give a deposit
KFlo's Krib nice
what size spacer you recommend on a 1 1/2 lean ?
I used a 1/2 inch spacer for 1 inch difference. If we do some quick math, a 3/4 inch spacer should work for you.
do you know where i can get a 3/4in spacer ? i’ve only seen 1/2in spacers
Yeah i can't seem to find them either. Here's my recommendation: You can start with just a 1/2" spacer and check how your truck settles. If it settles uneven still then stack a 1/4" on top of the 1/2" one.
Toytec does make a 1/4" one
i bought a 1/2 inch spacer but it don’t look like a half inch , so idk how it’s gonna lift it an inch ?
22mm lugs?
Yessirree. 21 does not fit and 23 is too big. I'm not sure if these were aftermarket or oem since i bought the truck used
KFlo's Tacoma Build must be after market or the lugs are swollen due to heat, when I had my stocks on the lugs swelled up. Good video, all your videos I’ve watched are the most informative and easy step by step I’ve seen on Tacoma’s keep it up
Thanks for the feedback bro!
Killed two birds with one stone, that's what I'm talking about.
Never payed any attention in 4 wheel. But between 45 and 55 it has a vibration. On the tacomahalic channel he said the carrier bearing could cause it. I wouldn't think it could be it. I just lifted the back 2".
