    I am only looking to level the front of my 2019 OR 4wd with the rear and it looks like I only need 1.25" of lift. I don't want to put a 2" spacer and run the risk of needing new UCA's for correcting my alignment. The only spacer I have been able to find is from Fatbob's Garage. It provides 1.5" of lift and it comes with new, longer, top hat bolts.

    https://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/toyota-tacoma-15-front-spacer-lift-level-kit-2wd4wd-6lug-2005-2018-p4206.aspxr.

    Does anyone have any experience with this spacer or can someone provide me with a link to another lift?

    I've been looking to ad Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks to the front to level it out. Apparently the 3rd setting gives you 1.1" which levels the truck.. Some have gone to the 2" adjustment.

    Much better than spacers or blocks.

    Forgot to mention that I had 5100s on my old 2nd gen and thought they rode stiff.

    What setting ddi you have it at? I cant imagine a spacer would give you a better ride over the 5100's?? I may be wrong, cause I've never done either.

    I had them maxed out with a top spacer for a full 3” lift. I guess thats why. Now you have me wondering if I choose the middle setting if it would ride better.

    So how does this whole “3rd gens are 1” taller than a 2nd gens” play out with this. Does that only matter if you remove the oem springs?
