Strut Spacers Who started with them???

It's a daily driver. I like how it rides now.
I do plan to wheel it some. Nothing a stock truck couldn't do though. We camp and tow stuff.

 

I did the same thing. I bought a revtex leveling kit. 3 inch front and 1.5 inch rear. I sucks!!! I replaced my front strut spacer and replaced it with a 2.5 inch OME lifting spring. The ride is amazing I also put a sway bar replacement bar that shifts to Allow factory alignment. That ride is great!

 

I am also running the ReadyLift 2.75" Fr and 2" rear kit on my recently purchased 2010 SR5. I am guilty of "doing before researching" also. Honestly though I don't find it as harsh as some are making it out to be. I will be going the 5100/leaf pack route in time when my OE shocks give out.

My truck is rarely off road though, I will add.

 

I put bilstien 5100 front back but left front setting at stock and got my loft in springs. It is perfect. Now I want to put on little bit larger tires going to 265/75/16 open countrys

 

I started with spacers up front and blocks for the rear and purchased on ebay. At the time money was tight and I just can't help myself. Switched up to full OME now and it's muuuuch better

 

I guess I should now update; I replaced my spacers about a month ago for OME 887's along with new shocks all around and the ride is noticeably better. I also have a bit of piece of mind now while wheeling.

Guilty... One month after buying my last tacoma (2014 dbl cab) I put on a rough country 3" spacer lift... all of its $150 glory...

 

almost started with em but the price difference for bilstiens was 20 more so i thought it would look cooler haha

 

I started with a spacer lift from Low Range Off Road, never had any problems, but after reading about spacer lift issues I went with a complete OME system

 

Finally picked up my 99 xtra cab prerunner today after having OME 881's and Dakars installed. Man does it ride better. I can't stop coming up with reasons to drive somewhere in it

 

500 miles on a 2.5" spacer. Then, on to Billies------wishin I had just popped for some Kings. Learned another expensive lesson and I'm a wiser owl.
BTW, my spacers are in perfect shape and currently available------cheap, very cheap. And, they come complete with your very own "lesson learned," which can be a source of wisdom, as well as a pain the a##. That's three for one, right there: (1) spacer set, (2) a free lesson learned, AND (3) a pain in the a##.
The line forms to the right, or your PM will be cheerfully replied too.

 

Oh really? That sounds interesting.

 

One guy says it and they all just follow lol.

 

Guilty.

 

Add me to the list

Installed 1.75" strut spacers and AAL in June. Finally swapped them out today for 5100s all around (kept the AAL).

I won't hate on the spacers because aside from not being able to get a proper alignment, I never had any issues. I will say the ride home from installing the 5100s was much smoother than the ride with the spacers.

 

Because of all you knowledgable folks here on TW, noobies like me won't have to make the same mistakes. Thanks!
