    I don't know what a taco lean spacer is. I just want a full 3 inches of lift all the way around.

    I gotcha, like I said, it's my buddies shop. So I really don't pay for crap like that, take that back, I do but not full price and not every time.

    Good, local people, they treat you fair can't ask for much more than that around here.

    Good to know. I'll need a small shop like that for a few things.

    Because of the heavy weight created by the battery and gas tank and such on the drivers side, when you lift our trucks it leans to the drivers side. So you put a spacer to compensate for the difference.

    Taco lean is the lean the truck has because there is more weight on the driver side.

    So you only have a spacer on the drivers side? Is your truck still lifted 3 inches?

    The amount of lift depends on what components you use. The setups that have been mentioned will give you 3 inches or very close to it. The spacer on the driver side is to give you that 3 inches because of the weight difference. Without the spacer you'd have 3 on the passenger side and maybe 2.5 on the driver. The spacer essentially makes them match.

    I had my bud take it to his place by the airport on Monday. Sucks having to pay almost $100 every time I screw it up.

    Not sure what Firestones problem was... they were trying to give me an example of the "specs" they needed from a durango. They were all like -0.8 to 0.8, ect. I was like... so you just get it closest to zero. Like I asked? He looked at the paper, his bud, then said sorry we cant do it.

    I have yet to find a place that has any competency when it comes to alignments.

    They just put it on the machine and if it comes out green, they don't try any longer. Got to love it. It's like they need pictures to order food from Burger King.

    I am hung up on the fast food comparisons today, don't mind me.

    I'm stuck on 3 inch because I really want 6 inch but that costs too much because of new wheels and everything and if I go off to another school next year I would have to park in a parking garage and it might not fit so I want at least 3 I'd like 4.

    I'm conflicted. They say they will fit.

    SPCs Application guide shows P/N: 25470 for 2nd gen tacomas and 25485 for Sequoia and Tundra. I bought the 25470s from MetalTech4x4.
