    Hey guys, I'm looking into lifting my Tacoma and wondering if I should do 5100's/6200's or do spacers and put the 5100's/6200's later. In either scenario, should I upgrade my UCA's? Thanks

    (Sorry if I sound like a whole bunch of mumble, I'm jacked on RedBull and all this makes sense in my head for some reason)

    Don't do spacers. 5100s aren't that expensive and are a far better way to lift. Pair 5100s with the right set of coils to achieve the height you want, don't lift via the 5100s if you can avoid it.

    If you stay at or under 3" you shouldn't need UCAs. Install the lift and see how well your truck can get and stay aligned, then you'll know for sure.

    ELI5 this spring rate stuff doesn't make any sense... nothing about springs makes sense to me (might be the RedBull)
