    What do you think?

    I have 1.5" wheels spacers sitting right here. Planning to throw them on to my stock lift taco with some LT275 falken wildpeaks. I do some light offroading.

    Any one think this is a bad idea?

    Nothing wrong with it, TW likes to make spacer lifts like the boogeyman. Just don't crash off rocks and you'll be good.

    1.5" may cause diff vibes, so be prepared to get the ECGS bushing if needed.

    When I first got the Tacoma I decided to go down this road on purpose, just for the experience. Don't do it. No it will not harm anything No you will not break anything, yes you will get your lift but like so many others in hindsight it was a waste of time and money.....
    but that being said try it and see how it goes if your set on it..

    Wheel spacers or suspension blocks? Either way the answer is no

    this and that...
    spridertrax is absolutely fine if youre gonna use stock wheels; should be 1.5" spacers. aftermarket wheels. nah. you can get it to exactly how you want it since theres so many sizes and offsets.
