Spacer lifts

Has anyone had any trouble with spacer lifts? I dont do a lot of offroading and i drive on the highway most of the time.

 

Got almost 120k miles on my spacer/block lift. Light off-roading, no issues. I have a 3 inch block in the rear with stock springs (No TSB) The only thing I've ever had a problem with was axle wrap under emergency braking. Didn't break or hurt anything on the truck but def felt very weird.

 

Yeah, axle wrap is the only thing I dont like about it....no problems so far

 

I've got a one inch block out back, and 5100s up front at 1.75. No problems whatsoever. It depends on how large the block is I suppose..

 

Don't stop at one spacer either, stack them and add a body lift afterwards to really tie it all together

 

^^^^^realllyyyy???!!!! I think ill do that! Thanks bro!!

 

Gotta love TacomaWorld!

 

I wonder if i should use super glue to stack spacers or will elmers wood glue hold it all together....maybe ill go to walmart tomorrow and see if they have their body lifts on sale....

 

For pretty much the same price you can get Bilstein 5100s and an AAL for the rear. I don't see the point of using spacers.

 

True, i think i will do that

 

Im definitely getting the billies for the front, but i dont think a leaf spring will give me the 2 inches i want for the rear

 

Wheelers 2 inch add a leaf is very reasonable price wise

 

With a spacer lift, the suspension runs out of uptravel before hitting the bump stop. Eventually, or with enough force, the strut fails.
