Does anyone know why my rack is hitting my motor or is it normal?

    I’ve been running a 6 inch fabtech lift and I didn’t install sway bars and drop brackets. Could this be a cause?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    That's absolutely not normal but, it's not the rack hitting the engine, its the engine hitting the rack. I have a feeling your motor mount has busted off the frame. Don't drive like that, it WILL put a hole in the oil pan.
