Quick spacer lift question!

Hey guys,

I have searched on here and havent found a solid answer yet, Im sure it has been discussed to death tho so sorry.....

I have my '11 DC 4X4 and Im looking to do a quick 1.25 to 1.5 inch front spacer/rear block lift. Im looking online and am thinking to put together the lift from daystar. I could do the full 2.5 lift but would rather have just a simple 1 to 1.5 inch lift all around.

My question is if I go with the 1 inch rear block and 1.25 front spacer will this be level? This will produce the full 1 inch all around? Im thinking my rake is about 3/4 of an inch so from thinking this over I might need larger spacers up front. What do you all think?! Any solid combinations to produce a level lift

Thanks!

 

aaaaand there is the opinion of 97% of tacomaworld.com. spacers are god awful, but yes you will probably be levelish.

edit: 1" block in back = 2" of lift. make sure you take that into consideration.

 

1" in front and nothing in the rear would get you about level.

And if you want to do a little reading about spacers:

I have spacers in the front and aal in the back and when I installed the lift my ride quality inproved, maybe I just got lucky. But I would go with what was said about some 5100's. You could probably get a set-up for a little over $300.

 

Ya I know thats exactly what I've found to be true and what I was originally planing on doing. I know that is the best option for a simple quality lift. This option is just soooo cost effective haha.

 

your truck is 15 years old. his ride is not going to improve.

 

5100's are only $180.

 

and so it begins.......again....

 

Just trying to keep him from making a bad decision....

 

At work we replace broken spacer lifts on Toyotas every once in a while. Same old same old, broken in the same spot everytime! Then they learn because we hook them up with the 5100's!

 

Funny thing lol the other day a broken shocks came in for replacing. they guy welded the shock back together to be able to get home cause it broke in the middle on know where

 

oh i know! I totally agree with doing it right the first time and all that jazz...just seems like we go through this about every 3-4 weeks

 

there's 2 other threads about the same exact thing right now lol

 

Lol that reminds me of this thread:

HAHA sorry fellas, I knew that would open up the same can of worms as it seems to do....

Ill make it easy on myself and everyone else and can this idea and go with the 5100's and add a leafs!!!

I give up...I want quality and reliability....just need a little more $$$$
