    Ok I'm pretty sure I'm over thinking this.
    With the 886s, it gives 2"-2.5" of lift WITH the extra weight correct? So maybe I don't need spacers also? Before the current lift and weight I was at 20.25" in the front. It's at 24" in the back.

    Good to know! So without spacers that should put me mostly level. I need to add the 1/4" spacer on the driver's side this time.

    My qualm with most vehicles, mostly the 4R, is lack of power. My 2018 4R didn’t have the balls to get out of its own way. The tundra is like 30 HP less than Ryans and it has plenty of power to get out of sketchy situations. With power, comes many smiles, and less MPGs. Unless you get some sort of ecoboost Ford or something. :D

    Not me never. Unless it's rolled over and in flames then it'll be sold to the junk yard. I'll just buy more stuff.

    @PvilleJohn get the Tundra need some test fitting done it'll be a race with you and @jpneely
    Yeah well I've had my days of running through and owning enough cars to drive a different one everyday of the week I'm done. Plus the Tacoma has been the one I've had the most fun with. I'll just buy more to add to the stable.

    Well now you have me second guessing again! I have less weight on mine. The streamline with a Smittybilt w/synthetic rope. Both are about 130lbs.

    Buy once cry once. Just get a set of coilovers (ADS, King, Icon, Fox etc) and crank them down to the height you want and be done. Stacking lifts and trying to tweak things might save some dollars right now... but eventually you’ll have to replace parts and upgrade. Trust me... I learned that with my first Tacoma
