    Hey guys new to this group , I got a 06 tacoma I had it a month or so , I wanted to do a 3 inch lift on it , I seen it already has a 2 inch lift on it , 2 in rear 2 in front , I went to buy the 3 cause I’m wanting it level as well took it to the shop today and they said they had it apart and the strut spacer will not seat on the strut that it leaves a little gap in between them , it’s the spacer off Amazon , I checked the fitment and everything on the website said it’s for my truck , the shop also said it looked like it had different struts on it as well , any help would be appreciated!!

    Yes
    Got any pictures. IMO go with Bilstein 5100's up front and at least an add a leaf in the back. Spacer lifts are for the birds. You won't regret it and saves you from double work later down the road when you finally realize spacer lifts are trash. Welcome to TW though. :)
