    I'm putting a daystar 2.5 level on my Tacoma, I've seen people put 33s on a 2.5 level but the lift manufacturer recommends 32s Would I need to trim the wheel well to fit the 33s ? Or would it be better to go with a 32 and have no rub or trimming? Also for reference I'm running stock rims. I've also seen skyjacker leveling struts on carid and realtruck.com, How good are they, do they even level the truck out, because rough country has a leveling strut. Anyway the sky jacker leveling strut, are they even worth the money

    I have the 2.5 " daystar spacer right now, im running 32s and could run skinny 33s with mild trimming. I am half way through switching everything to OME and 5100s right now. The back is done and the new front coils and 5100s are with the mail man. Spend the extra $ on OME...well worth the money

    Steer clear of spacers at all cost!!
    The damage they will cause in the long run wil cost much more than a bilstein lift $600, or even rancho 9000XL quick lifts $400. They are both FAR superior to shit balls spacers!!

    Do what i wish i had done to begin with, instead of buying new 32" tires, get a used set from a small tire shop. (I got 4 bf goodrich Ats w/ good tread for $160)
    Take the money you wouldve spent on spacers and new tires and get coilovers that lift correctly.
    You will be glad you did
