    That’s hilariously well put, but yeah the way 4WP put it, made it seem like there was an in between setup. So it confused me when I’d search for a mid travel kit and even google was like ”... uhh ‘the fuck is that?!” So it all makes sense. Thank you

    I didn’t inquire, it was more of a
    Me: hey I would like to get information on LT...
    4WP: Do you plan on bashing or jumping it?
    Me: Not really just want a wider stance. And bigger tires without having to lift crazy.
    4WP: spacers.
    Me: I’ve heard bad things about them though...
    4WP: Mid Travel.
    Me: umm ok I’ll look into it.
    That’s legit how the conversation went so I was over it and the guy didn’t feel very helpfull or informative just came off like he wanted to sell some punk some shit...

    I actually got a set of 31” falken wild peaks with install for $560 new 2 yrs ago from some shop I found on Craigslist and they’ve been great still have a lot of thread.

    Sounds like textbook 4WP lol

    Spacers themselves are not bad.. I am running a set of 3/4in Bora spacers on the rear. They are the correct design and aren't subject to the same failures that "spacers" have a bad name for.

    http://www.motorsport-tech.com/bora.html

    Now, up front, I would advise against going with too large of a spacer. 1 to 1 1/2 in max before I start to question the stresses on that wheel bearing. At least for myself.

    For lift, you can go nice and cheap(not poor quality at all, but affordable) and get Bilstein 5100 adjustable ride height shocks and get about 2in of lift up front.

    Then for the rear lift, I would get a new spring set. It may not be the popular, easy way, but it's a lot safer than using blocks to add lift.
    https://bilsteinlifts.com/product-category/toyota-tacoma/2016-and-up/rear-lift/

    You can also get rims with a different offset to push the tires out more.

    Options are endless, really :goingcrazy:

    Hope this helps?

    Yeah I’m currently running pro comp pro runners in the front I got 2.25” lift surprisingly smooth I like them. I do want to get new leaf springs.
    I am riding the the widest offset I could find on my pro comp vertigos. I might look into bora. I wanted a wider stance because someone hit and ran my truck in a parking lot and ripped my front fender flare driver side off. So I put bushwhacker style flares that’s before I got new wheels. It looked frickin dumb... for a while I got so sick of looking at it. When I put the new vertigos on it helped out significantly. But I still think I could go alittle wider so bora might be the trick. Either way I appreciate your input.
