    I have some 1.5" tall spacers that bolt to the top of the strut.

    Will they lift me 1.5" or 3"?!

    Also does anyone have pics of a 1st gen with this front lift set with stock rear?

    it has a k&N airtake system that came on it when I bought It
    I putt a 3" spacer on my truck and it rides so bad. I am getting rid of mine . But it's like you have no shocks .

    Homebrew bumpers and sliders, 5100s & Eibachs up front and mutt leaf pack out back, 285s & Wheelers type B, sway bar deleted. Wife's ride: 01 4Runner 4wd sport. Stock with exception of TRD taco coils, and shift kit.
    It'll give you closer to 3" of lift. Since the coil assy is in the middle of the lower control arm for every inch of spacer it adds 2 at the outside of the control arm.

    Also, can't say this without saying top plate spacers suck. I had to take the 4 lower ball joint bolts off to get the LCA to swing low enough to install (back when I had a 1" thick spacer). If you're stuck on a cheap spacer lift at least go for the coil spacer over the top plate spacer for this reason.
