New to me Tacoma, could use some love

If you go with an add a leaf, do yourself a favor and go for a progressive aal instead of a single. I recommend the wheelers offroad progressive aal. 10 more bucks and you can get the heavy duty version(2/3 of the leafs are 1mm thicker), which is what I have on my 03 and had on my 99.

 

also, in my opinion. a front spacer kit isn't that bad. I have had one for 3 years and I haven't noticed anything bad aside from the upper control arm "plucking" the spring when it fully extends while off roading. but I actually off road (lightly) into the mountains and use the travel of my suspension. you may not have an issue if you only drive it on roads.

 

and while were at it. does anyone know of a upper ball joint extension for our trucks? my UCR is angled a little low cause of my spacer lift. putting a 2.5 inch ball joint extension will correct that.

 

It's not going to increase rate , I said a spacer in front will give rough ride

 

Gotcha. I misread that one.
