Dissent offroad 2016 Tacoma trd build.

Looks like the preset ride height gave me about 2 3/4" of lift in the front.
Hopefully the rear springs will bring up the rear a bit. Snapped a few pics at the car wash.

Took the truck for a shake down run yesterday afternoon, did some high speed stuff on an extremely eroded rough road! It used to take about 45 min to get to the spot I was going on stock suspension and now it's about 15 min, my wife and I both were blown away with how well the Bp-51s worked. There were a few times we would come up on some very rough patches were I would of had to almost crawl over before and now @ 25-30mph it was smooth.
I am very picky and I don't think I have ever had a product exceed my expectations but so far the new ome stuff has!
I have seen some complain that the new bp-51s are too short but they were just the right length, at ride heigh there was 6" exposed on the rear shock and there was 5 5/8" from the bump stop to the bump pad. A longer shock would not fit without longer bump stops or building new mounts.

Got the graphics on today!
I'm happy with how it turned out.
I still need to have the new trd graphics installed but that may be a Few weeks.

Spent a few days in the Nevada desert, not as nice of an area as I'm used to going but had fun and explored some old mines.
The bp-51s were awesome and really shined at speed!

Looks like a great trip! Tell me more about this little trailer. Been looking at options outside of prebuilt tear drops since they demand a pretty penny right now.

My father in law built it about 10 years ago with plans off the internet,
I just bought it off him and am making it more of an off road camp trailer.
I put lager tires, awning and tent on top,
I will be adding tube fenders, solar, hot water among other things to make it more expo ready.

I'm gonna show my nerd side a bit by saying this but your trailer looks like one of the shuttlecraft from the original series star trek

Thanks!
I do plan to produce a full armor line for the 3rd gen Tacoma.
The price for the front will start around $1100

Nice. There is some awesome stuff out there, but thinking a DIY project might be a bit more "enjoyable". Thanks for the reply!
