    Hi guys brand new member here. I am looking for some opinions about this lift http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/3-Lift-wfront-spacers_p_314.html. Wondering if that is a good option for a 3" lift to the front of my truck, as far as ride quality and what not. I will be leaving the rear stock so I am really just wondering about the spacers. From what I have read it seems that the Maxtrac 4" spindles would be a better option I just dont know if I want to go that high with a stock rear. Thanks in advance for any input.

    Welcome to TW. I'm not an expert on lifts for the 2WDs but if you lift higher than 2" in the front and nothing in the rear you are going to end up nose high. Not good. I'd stick with 2" lift in the front to level, or plan on lifting the rear too.

    Well the goal is to have the front end sit up higher, I don't like rake and I don't like leveled trucks. I like some lean but nothing too crazy. I know the style gets a ton of hate around here but I like what I like, and judging from nd4spdbh's response it seems like the spindles would be the best option.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    4 inches with the stock UCAs will not only give you a bad ride but they will shread your joints. Spacers in general are not really a good route. If you like the look of a lifted front end take a look at bilstein 5100's and some OME 885 springs. That will give you your desired look with a much better ride. I would also recommend upgraded UCA's as well but they aren't necessary.

    4 inch lift spindles alters your stock suspension geometry. It simply moves your hub down 4 inches.

    OP.... dont bro lean, but hey to each their own.

    Too few to list.
    OME's 885 or even 887 will get you the look you want as those will sit higher with a stock rear. 5100's set at zero. I do recommend aftermarket UCA's for 885/887 to get it to align correctly.

    Yea I'm thinking I'm just going to go with the spindles, it will give me a bit more room for wider wheels over the 3" lift as well. But that's the way we like our trucks down here man :thumbsup:

    1.75" Billy's plus 1/4 spacer on both sides. 1" block in rear. 265/70/17 nitto g2 SCS matte dark bronze 6s
    Friends don't let friends lean... But IF you must... do it right. No spacer. Bilsteins aren't really that much $ and well worth it ​

    Park 25ft from a wall and turn on your headlights. Tape off the horizon line. After your front lift park in the same spot and readjust your headlights to the same horizon. Otherwise with the nose high lift you will blind everyone.
