    I got a 3 inch body lift on my tacoma, when it came out of the shop I noticed that the wheel was almost touching the suspension. I have been driving it like that and there hasn't been any problems. I would like to get bigger wheels, and if I do I know it will touch. do you guy think its a good idea to get spacers to make the wheels come out a bit? or would that mess up the transmission some how?

    It was cheaper for me to get a body lift,I only wanted it for the looks.I am also scared it might start to shake when I get to 60-70mph? What spacers do you recommend ?? And will it mess up the axele ?

    Spidertrax are the best spacers out there for the tacos. They are hub centric and they will not make the truck shake at highway speeds. They will also solve the rubbing issue that you are worried about.

    :facepalm: yes spidertrax will bump out your tires farther from your suspension.

    If you're getting new wheels then just order them with the correct backspacing and you won't need wheel spacers.
