    Was wondering how many are running Rough Country 2" spacer lifts on their Tacoma's and have there been any issues? I may either put a 1" block or a 2"add a leaf in back.

    Also this is just going on a daily driver going back and forth to work. The only off road this truck see's is during hunting season going through fields.

    Blocks will increase axle wrap, and accelerate the wearing of the leafpack, get a progressive add a leaf like icon or wheelers.

    I cant say much about spacers except, dont.

    I have had the rough country leveling kit on my 2014 TRD sport. Only issue was the needle bearing immediately started making noise. I replaced it with the Ecgs.

    Ok, then my comments thus far wont change.

    5 luggers have minimal options.

    Put the money towards a suspension kit, OP. It's really not that much more and you're upgrading your suspension instead of creating potential issues.

    Respectfully, the best one you can afford. There are a myriad of options to choose from. I'm no expert on any of them, I just know I chose my suspension kit based on how I use the truck and what my budget was.

    My setup is geared a good bit differently from what you're looking for. Bilstein 5100 kit with OME 886 coilovers, SPC Light Racing upper control arms, and it came with the Deaver add a leaf, though I have not added the extra leaf spring yet and will probably forgo it for a full leaf pack now that I have the lift installed and can see how the truck sits.

    I'll post a picture, but this isn't what you're looking for. Search TW for Bilstien 5100 lift pictures for a better idea what you might expect.

    This kit was installed yesterday, and I am setting my truck up for a heavy front bumper and winch combo, which is not on the truck yet, so my nose is up high, AKA The Bro Squat.

    Can I anybody help me pls?
    I am about to lift my truck.
    I have Tacoma Pro Bilstein Tuned suspension
    Basically 6112 and 5160s...
    I am gaining a lift 1.75-2" front lift and wanting to keep the rake of my truck so I would like to install 1.5" rear block.

    I don't have anything on the bed and don't tow anything neither.

    Are these blocks safe?
    Look at the leaf hole guide of the block?
    I am afraid it might have some play while driving... will be moving back and forth

    Perfectly safe, don't listen to the fear mongers, many many many tacomas have small blocks like those.

    Do you have the extended ubolts with the blocks?

    Yes it came with the longer U bolts...
    My concern is, will it be moving back and forth or slide here and there because the hole leaf guide is bigger?
