    2" suspension lift
    I put a 2 inch lift on rear and a 3 inch lift on front. Spacer blocks in rear and strut spacers on front. Can I safely add another inch or 2 on top of the spacer blocks I already have or will I need to remove them and go with larger blocks. I think the shocks that came with the original lift will be fine with another inch or 2 so they are not an issue. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

    Not a good idea to stack blocks. And if you're 4wd, you can't go past 3" in the front unless you want to ruin your CV joints.

    Stacking and using blocks is a not a good way too lift a Tacoma.Get rid of the blocks and do it the correct way.

    No.

    I second the suggestion to remove the spacers and blocks and do a suspension lift the proper way.

    Spacers in general a bad idea even worse to stack if just for looks one spacer is ok..other options are bracket lift or body lift. If your 2wd you can do spindles

    4wd. I don't take it wheeling but have to go off road some for work. Just want another inch on the rear cause the toolbox I carry in it caused it to sag and I just want that good looking stance again.

    An add-a-leaf would be a better option than blocks, but cheaper than a new leaf pack. An AAL will provide lift (usual 2") and stiffen up the factory leafs.

    Spindle lift.
    Hey guys I'm new to the TW community. I have a 2006 2wd pre runner. I am running 4" spindles in the front and 3" block in the rear with absorbing shocks. Very poor ride quality (I was young and dumb) when I chose to lift the rear in that manner. What options and combinations do y'all recommend to achieve 4" for the rear? Any $0.02 is always appreciated:thumbsup:
