    I have a 1 inch spacer along with a 1/4 spacer does that equate to a 2.5 inch lift altogether.

    The 2 front struts are the ones that have the spacers so each strut would have 2 spacers one measures 1/4 and the other measures 1 inch.

    Yes that's correct. Spacers on the front coilovers will give you lift approximately equal to 2x the spacer size. So 1.25" spacer lift will give ~2.5" lift.

    You may want to look into replacing your needle bearing with the ECGS bushing. If the needle bearing fails due to your lift it could possibly grenade the front diff.

    Is there a way to lift the front of a Tacoma without coilovers just a spring? (yes there's a shock but it's not attached to the spring) Basically, I don't have the three bolts so that type of spacer would not fit do you know if there is anything I could do to lift it
