    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    Let me start by saying this is a temporary lift just until my icons come in in a couple months. They had to special order them because I needed the 700lb springs.

    I have a steel bumper, winch and full 3/16 skids on a '16 tacoma with stock suspension. It's sagging about 1.5-2" from stock. So I am really looking for 1.5-2" thick spacers to give me 3-4" of lift. So taking into account the sag that's already present it would put me an inch or two over stock. I will be installing total chaos UCAs at the same time as well as Dakar leafs without overload and icon shocks.

    Are there any top spacers that big or is there a better (cheap) solution that will work for a couple months? Thanks

    I just put in 1/2" headstrong front spacers yesterday. Rear end is stock. It sits perfectly level now. Rides great, no different from before. Id recommend this mod to anyone looking to level their truck. I didnt feel the need to go bilstiens, didnt want to switch out brand new shocks for billys.

    Thanks, but those spacers wouldnt even get me back to factory height. I need much taller ones, and if I remember correctly I think the only ones HS offers are the 1/2".

    For $175, you can get a set of springs and fix it properly once and for all. How much are spacers? They will still be temporary.

    I've got LowRange spacers from their 3" kit with Deaver Packs in the rear not including load limiters. I didn't measure the actual height gain but It seems to be a pretty true 3" (maybe more) lift in the front.

    Nice thing about spacers instead of replacement springs is that they're SUPER cheap plus easy to install without needing a spring compressor. I wouldn't bother with springs especially if you're just getting Icons later.

    I ordered a set from readylift. Supposed to be 3" so should work out well. Thanks guys
