    Hey,
    Right now I have a 3'' Revtek spacer lift in the front and back of the tacoma. I was running 33/12.5 tires with that and the ride quality/mpg was trash. Now that I needed new tires I went back to 265's and want to take off the lift.

    Goodyear says to take the lift off would be 119$ per hour in labor, and I need 6 bolts for the struts and new U joints/bolts. Is this true? Or do all the parts on the lift right now work if I were taking the actual spacer off?
    What do I need?

    Thank you

    All you should need is a set of hand tools, a decent jack and jack-stands and some elbow grease.

    The front spacers can re-utilize the existing hardware and the rears the same. Other than the u-bolts with your lift being longer than stock, you can still utilize them for economies sake (however, you should not really ever re-use the u-bolts as they weaken with each torqueing).
