    Ok so im putting blocks in the back (dont try to persuade me not to) and i cant decide between 1.5 or 2 inch. I have a 3 inch lift in the front. Pics would help if you have one of these! Thanks in advance.

    Hey bro I will sell you my two inch block dirt cheep for rear. However I think the 1.5 inch might look better because the front will
    Sit a just a fraction higher

    Two words. Axle wrap.

    Blocks are not your friend. But if you must smaller blocks would induce less axle wrap. So you might run them a little longer before realizing you need to tear them out and do it right. Most people end up removing them and then try to pawn them off for cheap.

    Too few to list.
    Tacoma leafs are soft enough as it is. Wheelers carry 1.5-2" blocks for $67 and add a leaf for $10 more.
