    Gotta say this forum has been very helpful in so many ways. Amazing knowledge on this site, tech support, warranty info, and mods mods mods.

    Long before i bought my (new to me) 2016 TRD sport, while investigating what truck i wanted to buy to replace my tired old 2004 Jeep Liberty this forum and recommendations from other Taco owners swayed me over to the dark side.

    Interestingly enough i bought my truck sight unseen and still dont have it....Ya i know !!!

    After about a solid month of research, then searching for the truck itself and various test drives, i finally found what I felt was a smoking deal on a truck from out-of-town. Problem was it was SOLD and they had a second deposit on it from another guy.

    Long story short both deals fell through and i got the call. So late next week my new ride will arrive, hope its as awesome as it looks!

    Its a good start (for me) - I plan to do it correctly this spring. Main thing was the super low mileage (19,000kms) and late delivery Oct 2016 which provides me lots of warranty coverage yet.

    Why else would you ask about the lift and then put “it’s just a big spacer :(“

    Lol.

    Op, nice truck. Spacer lifts around here are worse than murdering a human.

    It's like calling someone a "snowflake". They're either triggered by it or fall in love with you.

    Because every snowflake is unique and beautiful.

    This can happen to your coilover with a spacer lift. And your truck is way too nice for this type of damage to it. Hang in there, there is some real great advice here. Take care friend.
