    Hello Tacoma Owners.
    Looking at the Toytec 3/4 - 1 inch spacer.
    I just traded for a 09 trd Sport from a 05 TRD Off Road. I have modded two XJs and a F150 and my last 05 taco. " Franken packs for the Xjs, Coils for the F150 and ADL and OME coils for the Tacoma. Must say for the Taco very tuff stock and CVC worthless with lift "VIBES out the ... Toyota's unless a true 44 or 60 front is a weekend offroad machine. But did buy another do to the gas and reliability. Sad part is OX does not make a locker that i ran on my xj's with 60 and 61 from the high boy ford. Looks like a lock right in the butt for now. Now to the question. I had the 3 inch on my 05 OR and 265 75 / 16's. Good look and weekend/Hunting farm quality but feel a 1 in lift on front with 265 70 17's and i feel my garaged fabbed under armor will let me run with any 3-4 inch lifted 2nd gen without driveline angles. "Scrape and Slider" My motto is up the tire and keep low to with good Slide"
    The Toytec 3/4 - 1 inch spacer looks interesting but cannot find people who used it alone. Going to opt out of the TSB spring and have a full to knuckle to knuckle ADL made from a local shop to attain a full 1.5 rear after break in due to half leafs are for yups that shine a polish to offroad on the local walmart curb.
    Does anyone have have any experience with "only" a 1 inch lift? Even the 1.25 will cause driveline problems at th

    That was incredibly hard to read. But anyway, what makes you think you will get vibes? I didn't....but I'm betting doublecab long beds are more resistant to them, shorter the wheel base the steeper the drive shaft angle? Seems to make sense....IMO these trucks look perfect with 3 inch up front and 1.5 aal with tsb

    Lay off the shine for a day and re write what you were thinking so we can understand you. I wrote a drunk email after drinking beer and shine about a week ago, looked at it the next day and thought to myself, no more drunk emails.

    Inch up front sounds decent, but if you put an aal in the rear, you may sit with the ass way up in the air when its unloaded. Why not put air bags in the rear to compensate for weight, or if you have the option to have the TSB done, you wouldn't need an aal. Just some thoughts for ya.

    If you are looking to level your truck (1.5 inchs up front) go with either Bilstein 5100's or you can just get Eibach springs like I did up front.
