    I know body lifts are frowned upon but I am going to run a little bigger tire than what I am currently running and I would like to be just a little taller and don't wanna mess with the suspension any more.
    So 2 questions...1. I've seen a lot of 4-Runners that do a 1.5" body lift, does anyone do one for our Tacomas?...2. All I've found are 3" body lifts, could I just trim it down and make it a 1.5"? Thanks guys.

    I wouldnt recommend cutting a block it doesnt really seem safe to me. If you want a body lift that bad, I think perf acc makes a 1'' body lift 2'' and 3''

    Damn...well thanks tho. I actually came across some more forums that guys were wondering the same thing so I found this guy in California that apparently does it custom. His site is not the easiest to navigate but apparently he's pretty legit...
