    i got a 2017 tacoma i am not looking to lift my truck any higher, my question is does anyone sell a complete 2-1spacer/block kit complete or do i have to piece them together? seems like i can find a 2 but no 1 inch with it.
    The other thing is do i need anything else with it besides the block and spacer?

    No need to buy a complete set. Order the front and the blocks separately. I was looking at spacer kits like low range 3/1 kit. Lots of great reviews and I for one was really looking at going this route. I rode in one and it was a great ride. I then rode in one with the Bilstein 5100s. I went with Bilstein set on the 4th notch, used a 1/4 shim on driver's side for the taco lean and a 1 inch block in the rear. Happy I did this, ride is awesome and it handles awesome. Added some Toyo at2 open country SL 265/70/17 on some TRD semapro wheels. Awesome set up and looks perfect.The pic looks like it's sitting low in the back bit it's the driveway. The bilstein lift is a little more money but not by much, less angle changes and I used the stick coils and allignment was perfect.IMG_20181009_181855269_HDR.jpg

    I bought this kit off Amazon. The front and the back were different items, but ordered at the same time and all arrived 2 days later. It's from Heavy Metal Suspensions. The front spacer is actually about 11/16" thick and gave me exactly 1.5" on the front. Rear was a simple 1" block. I have $110 in all of it.

    About 160 pounds of sand bags in bed will level it perfect. It will ride better and get just a little bit better gas milage, about .2mpg but I believe it will pay for it's self.

    I did 0.5'' headstrong spacer in front yielding about 1'' of Lift, and then later put a Heavy metal 1'' block in the rear. I personally wouldnt go any bigger on spacers and blocks. Have about 1 inch lift all around. I'm happy with it, no issues to report and rides great. I am planning to do a better suspension lift down the road eventually..

    My plan was to get the same spacer from HeadStrong, but they have been sold out of it for a while now...
