    Hey guys, I have a 2wd prerunner 2007 tacoma. I've got 2.5" blocks and 1.5" add a leaf for the rear. I am wondering what I should do for the front?

    my budget is a little tight, I have read countless threads on here. really not ready to buy UCA's and coilovers. Is there a cheaper way to go without doing alot of damage? Thinking about 3" coil spacers, but im not sure what else to get. I want the front to be even with the back, maybe slightly higher if I could.

    Spacers make the ride SUCK, and I've got spacers on mine... wish I had gone with coilovers to begin with - cheaper to do it right the first time.

    Any lift 2.5"+ starts to get into the range of needing UCA's to keep your alignment in specs, otherwise you'll find your truck will wander on the freeway and chew up tires. Some guys have 3" and swear they don't need UCA's, while others have less and need them.
