    3 inch lift on 33. Light bar on front. Headache rack and toolbox.
    I have a 3 inch lift on my tacoma and I want to add another 3 inches. I want to add a 3 inch spacer lift on top of my 3 inch lift. What else would I have to replace while doing the spacer lift? Would I have to chance uca’s or what other parts would I have to modify or change out?

    It's not a good idea. Suspension geometry will be all wonky, the ride will be terrible, and you'll start breaking stuff.

    Also, I've kept this thread clean. Be helpful or don't post.

    Sounds sketchy. Maybe just bite the bullet and get a proper 6" lift?

    no. listen to me... do not stack lifts.

    There are multiple ways to get 6” of lift but you stack them and it’s the least safe way to do it.

    Are you 4wd or 2wd? If 4wd, it's not possible. Your suspension/CVs couldn't handle it. Your only option is a body lift or a drop bracket lift, such as bds. If 2wd then you need maxtrac spindles.

    Bottom line is that 3" spacers on top of 3" regular lift will not work.
