    Same thing and function, spacer is generally referred to for the front and block for the rear.

    No. There are no coil overs in the back to put a spacer on top of.
    You can use a block (which is basically a spacer for the back), an add a leaf or a new leaf pack in the back.

    Those are for the front, for the rear you need the blocks that literally look like blocks. Look for a 3/1 lift kit or look up 3” lift kits from rough country and such. Not too familiar with all the companies out there that use spacers and blocks.
    You can also look for an add a leaf (AAL) that generally provide 1”-1.5” of lift from what I’ve read which will give you the best ride quality and use over blocks. I personally am running a 1” block in the rear and have been for 20k miles and have no complaints over stock, I like it better.

    I just completed 2/1 lift. RC 2” leveling kit up front and Low Range Off-road 1” block kit for the rear. I’m at 37 1/4 front and 38 1/4 rear at the fenders. I just ordered 16x8 4.5” BS SCS F5s but am on the fence on 265 vs 285 tires.
    Without the rear block I was nose high by 1/8 - 1/4 inch. Pic is both kits installed.

    **I realize this is an older post before I purchased my 2018 trdor 4x4(and b/4 I got on Tacomaworld).And may have even spoke to you on another thread about this.**
    Did you ever get this resolved?

    I ran into this thread after the fact...I had 4wheel auto install a Procomp 2.25 front level with diff drop. Shortly after that, I installed a TRD skid myself. I took off the stock skids and the small spacers that were installed with them to accommodate the diff drop. I did not reuse the spacers when I installed the TRD skid! Mostly because it was awkward enough doing this alone, so I just hoisted the new skid up and started bolting it down. It went on fine without the skid spacers (AFAIK)...? Been running for over 6,000 miles with no perceivable issues. Not sure though if I missed something and my install is FUBAR! Would love some feedback. Maybe I should start a new thread on this matter, figured I would start with asking you here.

    I find myself more and more interested in a small lift. I have 265/75r16 wild peaks on a stock OR and Im very tempted to get a 2/1 lift.

    I notice no difference in ride with the 2/1 spacer/block lift vs stock. I went with 265 75s and am glad I did. Tires gave an extra inch of lift vs 70 series stockers.

    Truck looks great! I’m shopping for tires now. I can’t seem to decide on size or brand. :)

    Was the front spacer actually 2" thick? Or you got 2" lift from the spacer?

    The spacer is 1” thick. About 2” of lift (I didn’t do a before and after measure).

    Thanks ! Sorry for all the questions, been doing a ton of research on here and just keep finding mixed info for smaller lifts. Were your studs long enough on the original strut to use with these or longer studs installed?

    Edit: Just kinda thought about that for a second, studs were probably not long enough to go through a 1" spacer :der:

    These would have had 3 new studs on the spacer?
