    2in lift
    Hey so I recently got a 3 in lift kit but currently wanna go one more. I was wondering, if I add a 1in spacer to my top plate would it be safe with my suspension in the long run? Or would it mess up my suspension? Tia

    The general guidance is no for the reason of ride quality and possibly safety. Please list your Tacoma and suspension specs and prepare for :crapstorm:.

    Additionally, going over 2" of lift on a Tacoma can result in vibrations from the front differential/cv that can only be fixed by removing the lift or doing a needle bearing upgrade/swap. So, if you experience a vibration from the front while in 2WD and goes away in 4WD, there's your problem.

    Someone can/will correct me if I'm wrong.

    It's generally not advised to stack lift components. While they will bolt together, they're not designed to work together and you'll be operating your suspension outside of it's safe range. Meaning: you gon' break somethin'.
