    I have a 2012 TRD OR Crew Cab 4x4 and have been trying to find a 1 inch coil over or in-coil spacer to go with an AAL for rear springs. I just want a small lift. I did this for my old 2001 tacoma 4x4 DCB and it was great. I like the stance of the truck now and don't want a 2 inch spacer. Don't want to upgrade to 5100 at this time. I have search web sites but unable to find a 1 inch for the front.

    Q. Anyone have a link or any other information where I can purchase it.

    Check ebay but I would probably just get the 5100's and set it @ .85 . Get the same effect and a lil better ride

    If you must go with a spacer, viewed by most to be horrible. ebay, procomp, 4wp, rough country and toytec are your best bets. Look for leveling spacers :notsure: You could also stack some Trim packer spacers...

    Found this one from fat bobs garage.. It would be less $$ to just do the Bilsteins 5100 to begin with.

    Try these spacers from Wheeler's, they preload the spring, similar to the 5100's but only cost $40:

    Your links fubar, .

    Those may not be as harsh as most people think metal spacers are..I don't see install instructions though. Looks like you might have to take the spring off the shock to put it in, if your taking them apart might as well put Bilstein 5100s in.

    They are made by Daystar, here is their description, and yes you have to take the strut apart. I agree if you are going through all that work and getting an alignmnet, spend the extra money and get the 5100's.

    Product Description
    This kit mounts under the upper coil support plate and preloads the coil, replacing the factory rubber coil isolator. This provides a slightly firmer ride but is not uncomfortable. It will take some of the dive and roll out of the front end, and is great for those customers wanting to compensate for a winch and bumper.
    Requires disassembly of the front struts.

    Thanks Sandman. I would like the 5100s, but the spacers are $40 compare to $165 for the 5100s. I like the factory Bilsteins. I am just looking for a small life 1-1 1/2 inch with the 3/4 inch in-coil spacer and 1xAAL. I did the same to my 01 tacoma, firmed up the ride no alignment issues and could haul some extra lbs. Wheelers quoated about $100 for all.
