I'm ordering my lift by next Friday

Front :
*shocks : tundra 5100
*coils : toytec/eibach
*uca : LR upper control arms
*front diff drop kit
*extended brake lines


Rear :
*shocks : bilstein long travel shocks
*coils : toytec superflex ( already made for drive lean)
*panhard drop kit
*extended brake lines
*extended bump stops

Question, should I get this https://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/mobile/Front-Top-Plate-Spacer-One--14_p_351.html

Or it's not necessary

Also should I get new shock strut mounts ? Or anything else new ? Like rubber washers or anything ?

I got a front spacer with my OME's i think it was a 1.25 inch spacer and it has been installed. Nothing wrong with it, i just did not pay for it, it came with!
 
1.25 that's a pretty big spacer, but I don't think I'd want to put a spacer that big with my set up,also to compensate for the driver side sagging more, the driver side needs a bigger spacer then the passanger side.if it even needs it. I had a Tacoma friend who installed a spacer only on one side. I'm just worried about the truck not looking level. Does anyone else have this set up or similiar and have heard about this toytec spacer ? Is it even worth it.

I wouldn't get the spacer. You might also want to check with Toytec (or whoever you're getting your lift from) to see if they have the Tundra shocks in stock. Last I heard these were on national back order through next month. Get the rubber washer kit since you'll want new bushings.
 
On top of everything on your list, I would look into new OEM lower ball joints when doing the lift. Your suspension will be at new angles, and a failed ball joint can be catastrophic. Just a suggestion, better safe than sorry.
 
Thanks for the heads up. I've decided not to go with new UCA and instead I'll be getting a budbuikt skit plate. The lower ball joints have been replaced. They probably have about 10k on it. Not OEM , duralast.

Just curious, when off roading the stock uca hold up well? Yes/no? Incase you were driving home and saw a little trail on the side lol

Like I said. Make sure the parts you order are in stock, or you'll only be staring at springs for a while.
