    Just added glass (a work in progress...). Looking to go with a spindle lift next, so questions will be coming! Not sure which route to go with my current set up? It's the Toytec ultimate with the heavier springs due to the weight of the front bumper. The ride is extremely stiff after I switched to heavier springs, with the small shop in town not sure exactly how to set it up. I really am looking for some height and more importantly, a better ride. Hoping to get some good info here. I have SPC UCAs as well...Thanks to all in advance!

    I'm betting those are #700 lb spring rate coils. I would go with 650s and see what you think. Your setup is good to go with the spindles. Just sounds like spring swap would be it.

    Thanks Chad! I have been on here for over ten years, just never posted much. I call the taco my twenty-year (at least) build. I have watched your truck over the years, rig is sick, quite an inspiration! I use your build to learn how it's done right! I went with the Ridge Grapplers based on your recommendations! I really wish I went with the SCS F5s though, I would like to go without the fake bead locks...more stuff to change, lol

    What was your front setup? Just the 4" spindles? What was your setup in the back? I like the stance of your truck

    I'm having these 4" spindles installed on my truck(with bilstein 5100s at o setting and stock spring). For the rear my truck will have stock leafs(with factory overload leaf and Icon 1.5" mini leaf pack and 5100s) would the overload spring coupled with my icon 1.5" aal equate to 2" of lift in the rear? I'm trying to get a visual how my truck would look. I like a leveled look but not too much of a front lean. Anyone have a setup similar? Or pictures?

    You probably won't get 2" of lift out of the rear with just the AAL. If you want it to sit close to level without any rake I would throw these shackles on with the AAL.

    Didn't see that. They most likely won't work then. Only other option probably is to just get new leaf packs or a block.

    What's the thinnest wheels spacer I can get for the rear? I'm having spindles installed and they poke out more by 3/4". And I would love to match the rear to them. But if I can't then not the end of the world

    Would you happen to know what brand or a link to a 3/4" spacer for the rear? I can't seem to find a 3/4" set I even went on head strong and extremeterrain. I went on other threads but some of the links are dead

    Thank you!!
    (edit) would a 16-20 tacoma 6 lug wheel spacer work on a 2nd gen with 6 lugs too? Same pattern right?
