    Just curious if you could use a toytec or similar 3'' coil lift with a 1''-1.5'' spacer lift. The rear i was thinking of a AAL and a block spacer too. Do you think this would need renforcement like the 6'' lift? Whats the cheapest way to get the most height out of a lift.

    I know pretty much all of the lifts that exist for Tacomas so i dont want to hear, just buy 5100's. :rolleyes:

    If you already know everything, why the thread? :p

    You can use a small body lift with any suspension lift, they don't affect each other.
    Unless youre talking about a suspension spacer; those lifts shouldnt be stacked with coil lifts unless theyre under a 1/2 inch.

    an AAL and a block isnt really recommended either, but it can work... your leaf pack may wear out quick though.

    and what do you mean by reinforce?

    I know the different lifts but dont know everything about them.

    Ya thats what I was looking for. So 2'' body lift with a 3'' coil lift would work togeather. Wasnt sure if you could add the strut spacer with the coil lift, answer is no. Just was curious if they could work togeater.

    For the rear i guess you could get a modified leaf pack to get over 3''. I was thinking the blocks would ware it out faster

    Renforcement like the crossmembers on a 6'' lift. Found you dont need them for this kind of lift.

    Thanks for the info, just helps with decisions. Prob wont end up going this route but its good to know

    you wont need but a couple inches in the back to "level" out the truck with the three inch front lift.

    body lift will lift the entire body and bed of the truck off of the frame equally so no need to take that into consideration with your suspension lift.

    ^^^ yes, thanks. How I wrote that came out wrong. I would just add a single AAL to the rear.
