    I have a 2006 Tacoma regular cab 4x4 and added blisteins up from at 2.5 and added a leaf in the rear and the truck is raked the same way. So I decided to add a 1.5 spacer in the front and I like the height but now the back needs brought up, thinking about adding another short leaf in the rear to bring it up, any concerns or suggestions?

    Wait, so you added 5100's set at 2.5" but then added a 1.5" spacer on top of that?..

    What sort of CV joint angles you looking at? Stacking lifts like that is almost always a recipe for disaster.

    OP....Is there any way you could post a picture of your truck. Or....give us a measurement from center of front hub to under edge of fender opening?

    With the exception of drop bracket lifts, (which I'm not a fan of) 3" is just about the practical limit for lift on a Tacoma. With 2-1/2" + 1-1/2", even with aftermarket UCA's and such, you'll have quite a time getting anything like acceptable alignment numbers. Not to mention horrible CV angles.

    Just my opinion, butI'd take out the 1-1/2" spacer and LOWER the front instead of raising the back to meet up with a problematic front end height.

    Dump the spacers, buy OME springs that will give you 3 inches, new UCA's, and 5100's and progressive leaf pack for the rear. Spend some money before you have to fix factory parts and spend additional money for the lift. @HeadStrong Off-Road please straighten this man out!

    Also, important to note, set the 5100's back down to 0 when running OME coils 885 and up..
