I am new to this forum so hello. :wavey:

This is what I have so far.
2 inch spacer lift from toytec
I am running 285/65/18 tires (18s were on when I bought it)

I am kind of looking for some advice on where to start. I know I want an OME lift but what parts do I need? (Light/Heavy) What mods need to be done? (front diff drop) Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to ExPo!

OME is a solid choice.

Hello and welcome! As for advice, you've got an excellent platform to start. What's your intentions with it? Daily driver? Rock crawler? Multi-day camping trips? Just day trips? Use it as is for now to get a feel for its ability stock. Get some protection underneath it (skidplates and rock sliders) and some decent tires. Gear up with tents, coolers and food and get outdoors!

Well, I would like to be able to do some backcountry exploring. Multi-day trips would be in the plan. No rock crawling. I guess what I really want to know is what OME setup is right for me. Why the heavy shocks over the light ?
I do plan on putting an All-Pro winch bumper on there too. Sliders and skids are also a must.
I just want to be sure I get everything I need the first time so I can be sure it is done right. Do I need the front diff drop kit ? Do I need to extend the breather hose on my rear diff ?
I know I want to get the replacement spring kit instead of the AAL option. I guess I just need a shove in the right direction.

If I do the rear leaf pack and the front struts, how much lift will that give me?
And should I keep the spacer lift on as well as the lift ?


again, any advice appreciated. Thanks
Bob

Sorry about that. It is a 2006 Taco TRD Off Road Locked A/T
All stock besides the wheel/tire combo and a K&N drop in filter and 2" spacer lift.
