    I have a 2003 toyota tacoma sr5 pre runner. The truck already sits factory high compared to the small tacomas. i want a little more lift to get 32' or 33's on it. What do yall recommend? I was told to put a 3" leveling spacers on front. i measured the back and compared to the front and there is only 1" difference. 35.5" in front and 36.5" in back. the tires that are on it now are 265/70/16 and im thinking of going to a 285/70 r17.

    thanks rock. say for now i just want to level. how many inches do i raise the front. the measurement i come up with its only a 1" difference. i believe im going with the 5100 shocks, shocks need to be replaced anyway. you think 32"s would work?

    I know I said I was going to stay out of this, but...

    Shocks need to be replaced soooo 5100's at the second setting gives you roughly .85" of lift which will put you VERY close to level. Your alignment will be great and your ride won't be affected much at all. Depending on the wheels and offset you shouldn't have a hard time clearing 32's.

    I think spacers are fine to use if used properly and in moderation, BUT if your shocks need to be replaced anyways you might as well get 5100's.
