I wonder what a matte white wrap (or any color matte wrap actually)would look like on this truck, looks very clean tho!

[@TheCastLife]

Thanks! I dig matte wraps too

[@peters.3375]

How’s it handling and tire ware? Wheels have an obvious negative camber to avoid rubbing I can even notice it in video. Just wondering what effect this has on ride?

[@TheCastLife]

The truck is noticeably stiffer, which can be good and bad. Cornering is better, brake dive is better but running over pot holes is terrible. Tires have held up great although I haven’t put much miles on them. Alignment specs are not the greatest considering the truck is lifted on stock control arms but overall I’m happy.

[@ih0nda]

Does the rear sits a nose high? Wow your truck came out awesome man! White tacos are the best in my opinion 👍

[@TheCastLife]

No, it has a little bit of a rake. Thanks I love white Tacomas too.

[@nismo613]

Sorry if you mentioned this, but what springs are you running?

[@TheCastLife]

The coil springs are Bilstein, Bilstein 6112 struts comes with their own 650lb springs.

Hey, I hope ypu are enjoying your lift and wheels! It looks cool. How does it ride with AAL and by keeping the factory load spring in? I see most people taking them out but I'm thinking it will give you the true 2" lift and better towing capacity?

[@TheCastLife]

Thank you! I am enjoying the suspension. And you're right that's the reason why I kept the overload spring in for the extra .5" lift and extra payload. Right now my suspension has settled a little bit and it's close to level but the rear is slightly higher.

[@davidr.1517]

@@TheCastLife Cool, good to know. That's okay. Thats how the truck is anyway. Maybe it will give it better aero dynamics. Lol. Thanks again for your feed back!! It helps a lot.!

@@TheCastLife thanks again for the feedback bro. Keep posting the build it looks great

[@davidr.1517]

It looks good. Those rims and tires size seem to be the happy medium for our trucks with a 2 to 3" lift. I don't want my tires sticking out past the fender wells and those look just right. Please let me know if they rub at all when you drive in some rough areas or big dips. Thank you. 🙂

[@TheCastLife]

Thanks! 0 offset is the most poke I would go. As right now on a flat surface no rubs.

[@davidr.1517]

@@TheCastLife Also, I watched your video when you lifted it (well explained BTW ) and how you measured from the ground to the bottom of the finder. Did you gain another 1" or more by putting on 17" rims and taller tires?

Of course it runs at full lock when stuffed, you have to have true 3” lift which bilsteins cannot do, cab-mount chop, pinch weld, upper control arms and fender cutting, these dam you tubers, he responded “ it does not rub on flat ground” who the hell puts a lift and 33”s and then only drives on flat ground?

Nice taco! Was interested when I saw your post which showed you lifting your taco n all! Should take it on some trails to test the suspension, would love to see more taco vids, not saying fishing isn’t entertaining… 😅

Thanks! I wish I can it off-road more but I don’t any trails.

Nice it looks really well good job wow Covid restrictions in California must be terrible I only saw three vehicles in your video Car park was completely empty the road you were driving down was empty I live in the Rocky Mountains in Canada and I see way more traffic than was in your video .PS that was terrible park and you were up on the curb and you weren’t between the lines nowhere close LOL

Lol it was terrible parking, yes unfortunately my state is still locked down but there was no traffic because it was filmed early sunday morning to avoid loud noises. Thanks for watching!

[@titirititiri6360]

Exactly, i cannot stand when youtubers claim 3” lift with bilsteins, then they say they don’t have rubbing with 33”s, but they never go off-road!

[@kellymiller3136]

This is exactly the look I am looking for. Did you use the existing stock upper control arms? Do you get a better ride than with the stock setup? I have a terrible nose dive on mine when you come to a stop. I hate when that happens.

[@TheCastLife]

I still have the stock UCAs, it definitely rides better and definitely less nose diving.

How can i know the correct lug nuts for after marquet rims?what are the measurement of them if we can't use the stock ones?

Every aftermarket wheels is different it's best contact a tire shop but mine I used extended thread conical lug nuts not the oem ones.

[@devildoc6749]

Very nice, same color, different model . put black door handles and rear bumper caps. Put TRD rims, just got my Bilsteins, plus UCA -total chaos. Just waiting to have them installed. Once done, I can put some 33 in tires . how does the new shocks ride compared to the stock? Are you going to do any more mods?

[@TheCastLife]

That's cool! I want UCAs too but I don't have the budget for them right now. The Bilsteins are nice they feel softer in the front but I think the rears are a bit stiffer due to the 1.5" AAL and stock overload spring. The next mods I'm doing is some lighting, LED headlight bulbs, baja designs foglight and maybe a behind the grill light bar.

[@titirititiri6360]

@@TheCastLife you need uca, cab mount chop, pinch weld hammer, diff drop, carrier bearing drop, brake line extender, needle bearing, and a true 3” suspension lift so you can actually do some off-roading

What offset are these, 0 or -12?

[@TheCastLife]

0 offset

[@emptythrower]

@@TheCastLife how come you decoded to go with the 0 and not -12?

[@TheCastLife]

At that time I believe they didn’t offer the -12 offset, I bought these when they first came out. But I’m glad I got 0 offset otherwise my tires would rub on the cab mount.

[@TaylorGangOrEatShitt]

what’s the exact size of the wheels you got?

17x8.5

[@xItsmeFirex]

Do you have any rubbing. Like when going over speed bumps, or when turning the wheel all the way and going up/down driveways or speed bumps? Lift and wheels/tires look great.

[@TheCastLife]

Thank you for watching! I have no rubbing at all. I'll do a update video soon on the truck, stay tuned.

[@titirititiri6360]

Go look at Tacoma forums, youtubers are Liars! Just look at the pic of his front tires in relation to his cab mount, of course it will run at full steering wheel lock and suspension fully compressed, in addition bilstein does not make a true 3” lift after settling, at the highest clip, it’s around 2.5” on Tacoma . Only way to fit 33”s (depending on wheel offset) with Billy’s is to do a 1” top plate spacer, fender cutting, upper control arms, cab mount chop(cut and weld) pinch weld hammer, believe me I’ve been thru it. Go to Tacoma world, and do some reading from honest people. Best of lucky 🍀 Tacoma’s are the best !

[@dOwn_sHift_mike]

How much does it costs for that lift?? Btw ur truck is fire!!!:)

[@TheCastLife]

Thanks!! The lift runs around $1200 to $1500 depending where you buy it. I paid $1150 but that was because a 15% off Black Friday Deal from Wheelers offroad.

No but I do feel slight vibration at 30-40mph I hear it could be the driver side carrier bearing. The lift exaggerates this issue on Tacomas.
