ARB® 1007K - 2" OME™ Front and Rear Suspension Lift Kit

I put this lift kit on a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport 4 door crew cab short bed. When my ARB lift kit arrived, coil springs were in separate boxes, all shocks were in separate boxes, so everything looked great. The leaf springs had some paint scraped off no big deal a little prep and a simple spray can fix. I brought it to my local shop and had them install the entire kit, and it was worth every penny. The truck is up and I was able to put some 31.5" Dick Cepek Fun Country tires on Fuel rims with -1" offset, and the total package is perfection. I get compliments on how my truck looks all the time. Now on to the performance! I couldn't wait to get this beast in the woods. I took my sweetie for a ride in our old stomping grounds, and went places I never thought we could go. We crawled up an old dry stream bed no problem at all. We spent the whole day trying to break my truck, and it couldn't be done. I also drive on the highway to and from work and the suspension is as smooth of a ride as the OEM suspension, and it handles much better and very stable. If I were to trick out another Tacoma this would be the first step, I highly recommend this ARB 3" lift kit hands down.

So here's the deal, your spending a somewhat decent amount at this point to lift your truck PROPERLY, so lets go over some key things when spending nearly 1k+ on a complete lift kit. While this is marketed as a complete set you should know a few things Before buying 1. The top spring seat of the front shock bodies are not included, original hardware must be used for top of shock body, had I known this wasn't included in a complete lift kit I would of ordered it alongside "why put old truck parts on new truck parts???" upon loading the entire kit into my truck and driving 30 minutes into town to hoist my truck i found this out as I went to assemble the front shocks. 2. Providing a solid 3 inches of lift the rear OME Nitro 9000 does NOT have a SAFE amount of down travel for the lift provided, I would highly suggest a shock with more down travel "allowing more flex" if off roading is your goal with this lift kit, Bilstein 5100 B110 "Tundra shock body that fits directly" is a great option. 3. The parts will most likely be delivered scratched as mine were, if you have a few days to prep your parts BEFORE you hoist/lift your truck, INSTALL THE TRIM PACKER AND THEN REPAINT TO PREVENT RUST, after re-painting every part that was severely scratched I installed the trim packer "somewhat tight fit" the day i installed the lift, it scratched the shock body and being in a different area it didnt allow for me to repaint before installing.

Love the upper portion of shock with the hard plastic cover/boot.

Beautiful product that works every bit as well as I expected it to. The product is designed specifically to fit my JK Rubicon Unlimited and the look and ride could not be more perfect. It actually lifted my Jeep more than I expected. I have to get runners with retractable sidebars but I was planning on that anyway. Installation was done on my garage floor with a hydraulic jack and jack stands. Had it been done with a lift it would have gone much faster and would not have been as difficult. Some of the instructions were not very clear but given some time and thought we were able to figure everything out. I do not regret buying and installing this lift. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the look and performance of an Old Man Emu lift.

I purchased this item in hopes that it would solve the vibration issue I have in my Tacoma. Unfortunately after the install the vibration issue did not go away. Please note, I knew ahead of time that using this spacer kit may not work. So this is nothing on TRUCKiD, just need to move on to the next step in trying to solve this which is replacing the needle bearing with a sleeve. Tacomas are known to get this vibration issue once you install a lift.
