    Does anyone have any experience with putting in a 1" spacer on the front. I bought a 1 inch set of spacers (i realize they wont be 1 inch thick) from Street Rays. It appears they plan on using the existing studs for the simple install. I asked the company and the response I got was "the spacers should use up the remaining factory stud length." The spacers were only $29.24 but its the trouble of taking apart my new 2017 only to find out "should" was a sales pitch. Anyone one with any pics please help my confidence out. Thanks in advance. Oh I am only going 1" because of the level issue. I am not wanting a lifted Tacoma (at least not right now) as I am using this ride to travel long distances.

    Measure the thickness of the spacer, then measure how much thread you have above the 3 nuts holding your shock in place. My guess is it will be close. Extended length bolts are sold for this, but they require removing the top hat to swap them out.

    I had a 1/2" thick spacer on my truck at one time with the stock studs. No issues. They were long enough. The spacer leveled out the truck close enough for me and the ride didn't change at AT ALL.
