    so after doing a good bit of research i found that the 5 lugs aren't prone to having a rougher ride after spacers, so i started looking for some and found some daystar poly spacers that are 1.5'' but i read on custom tacos that it only lifts .75''. is this true?
    And are there any true 1.5'' or 2'' spacer lifts out there or should i go with a 1.5'' and v6 coils?
    I've heard that the v6 coils when used on a truck that has a i4 in it will provide ~.5 to 1''. is this true?
    truck is a 95.5 ac 2.4 5 lug

    EDIT: i already have a spindle lift

    I was talking about the fat bobs spacer lift, which you could run in conjunction with the spindles.

    i'll probably go with the fat bobs spacer.
    Will i need longer shocks on the front?

    hopefully it'll be okay. Iv'e PM'ed a couple of 5 lugs that have spacers and they say that the ride didn't really change.
    i guess cause the 5 and 6 lug springs are different.
    if i had my way then i'd save up for the doetch coilover and uca, but its my dads work truck till he can find a good used tundra.

    i dont offroad yet maybe when i finish school and get a job, so im not to worried about the reduced travel.
    my trucks spring are really soft so hopefully it'll firm up just the right amount.
    and thanks.
    ps sweet looking truck you got
