    Does anyone sell a spring spacer of 1 or 2in for a 96 Tacoma? I'm wanting to level the front.And do I have to realign the front after this install ?

    Yes you'll have to realign the front after installing the coil spacer. Like everyone else says, go with Bilstein 5100 shocks. They're variable, so you can lift the truck to the .85 or 1.75 setting. This will lift the truck 1-2" depending on how much rake you'd like.

    Or just put camper shell - it's heavy enough to level the truck

    Go with the 5100's on the middle setting. Better than a spacer. Or you could get either OME 880's or 881's if you need new coils.

    I just put the Rancho quicklift loaded assemblies into my 96, very happy so far. The adjustable dampening is a nice feature. Cost me about $400 Canadian so probably $100 Usd haha.IMG_20170503_202427.jpg IMG_20170503_165130.jpg

    There is lots of spacers out there that will do what your looking for. Yes an alignment is recommended afterwards
