LR UCA, Extra Lift, 1st gen

Im about to order a pair of light racing UCAs for my 2000 tacoma. Right now I an running billy 5100/eibach combo with Dakkar leafs. Alignment is still a bit off and im going to be putting about 800-1000kms on the truck per week this summer so I want it perfect.

I was just wondering if it would be possible to run a 1" top spacer in the front with the UCAs. I know everyone on here hates stacking lifts, but I have a set of slightly bigger shackles on order and with the weight of my aftermarket bumper I already have rake that i would like to level out.

If anyone could provide some options/insight that would be great!

 

well how much lift do you have one the billy/eibach setup? i'd imagine its close to 3"

any reason you NEED to go higher or just to balance it all out? and why the new shackles?

 

My shackles got pretty messed up when I installed my lift, trying to get the siezed bolts off with a cutting wheel and torch aha.

The extra lift would just be to balance it out, not just to add height. Not overly concerned with the height of the truck, just want it to look level not way higher in the rear.

 

well you're getting what, 3" out of that setup? then the extra top plate included you're anywhere from 3.75 to 4" that's kind of a lot of lift without replacing some other stuff. I wouldn't condone it but you're not going to blow the damn thing up by running this lift but you'll experience some very premature wear on everything

 

I think i might look into stiffer springs after I put a winch on the front end. It wont be over 3" of lift because the springs gave about 3" lift with stock weight, but when I added all that weight to the front end(80ish lbs for bumper, 80lbs for winch, offroad lights, etc) it compresses the springs below 3". Like I said i'm not looking to lift it more than 3", im trying to bring it back up to 3" after adding all that weight hanging off the front end.
