    All my advice has been to check out the 5 lug specific suspension subforum where all of the requested information has already been covered, and is collectively organized for easy viewing.

    It's almost like I'm a 5 lug Jesus, spreading the word of how to find information instead of saying "I want a lift. Here's my credit card and address, someone take care of it for me."

    I feel. Id be down to sell them for 50. And even if you dont get these and buy another type of kit just pm me and i can talk you through how to do it because for things like this you will need a spring compressor and some sort of grinder even when they say you wouldnt. But im in no rush to sell anything so the offer is always there! :)

    I'm down to buy them off you. And im going to have to take it to a shop or find someone because i don't even have a driveway so no can diy. And why a spring compressor? i thought is a top spacer not a coil one? Also I'm a noob :)

    So the whole thing with this spacer lift is that when you put it on the 3 bolts on the top of the strut then there are three more bolts on the top of the spacer that are not alligned for them to fit back into the factory top. (See below the bolts arent directly over the stock strut holes because it would be difficult to get on)image.jpg You may be able to twist the bottom of the strut to fix this but i just found a spring compressor was easier imo. And gotta learn somewhere! :)

    Fatbob's lift is the way to go. Unfortunately, us 5-luggers are very limited on what we can do to our Tacoma :/
