    I want my Tacoma to sit with 2" in the back and 2.5" in the front to compensate for the rake. The Bilstein 6112/5160 have a maximum of 2" for both the front and back for the Tacoma. Could I add a 1/2" spacer to the front to make the front 2.5" inch lift instead of 2" lift to compensate for the rake or would this be a bad idea? Also would I need to change the bumpstop so that I don't bottom out and destroy the shock?

    Welcome!

    How are you lifting the rear? I assume a block in which case you can always use a shorter block

    I'll be lifting the rear with a 2" Dakar leaf pack by OME.

    So do you think it will just be best if I stick with a 2" in the front and 1.5" in the back?

    A few.
    1/4" top spacers will give the additional 1/2" lift.

    Throw a 1/4" spacer on the drivers side. That helped my taco lean.

    I just have a 1/4" spacer on top on the drivers side with 5100s set on the 3rd notch.
