    I have a spring compressor set that I bought a few years ago for $50 and it's so worth it. I think summitracing has a good inexpensive one.

    There's actually two sets in the kit, but you only use what is applicable.

    I had 235's before the lift. Now I have 31's on them. It depends on what brand/type of tires but 235's are normally 29 inches, 31's are 30.9.

    just to keep the back end leveled because I carry alot of stuff. I've removed the campershell and all my stuff just to try and see what it look like and it looked even better.

    Hey guys, I saw this thread an immediately went to 4wheelparts to get the parts and have them install it. only cause i dont know how to use a spring compressor. They had no problem doing it and they had the 6 lug kit there the next day, worked like a charm. personally the best lift for our little 5 luggers. heres how it turned out. Im running 15x8 rockcrawler 51 rims with 31x10.5x15 deffinity mud terrains.

    Other than the leveler and the rims/tires, the suspension is all stock, i absolutely love the way it turned out, and in comparision to my buddies prerunner, mine seems to be a tad taller!

    The rims are procomp rockcrawler 51's steel wheels 15x8 and the tires are diffinity dakota mud terrains 31x10.5x15, if you are running a stock suspension, the biggest tire you can fit is a 30x9.5, it fits awesome with the stock hieght, all you need is to trim out the black box and you're good to go.

    No add-a-leafs, just spacers, install was around200-300 i think just cause it took a while for them to completely figure it out and they also mounted and balanced my rims and tires.

    Check under your truck to see how they did the rear suspension, as a spacer on a 5 lug Tacoma will lower it, rather than raise it, so they either did an AAL or some major work on the rear.
