    Welcome to Tacoma World.

    Oh man not sure where to start with this one. Will it cause damage? Hard to say. Will it cause premature wear on driveline components, steering components, etc? Almost certainly. Did you get the alignment dialed in to spec? Can you post a photo of the before and after alignment numbers? Most people running over 2" have trouble getting alignment back into spec, particularly Caster, without adding aftermarket Upper Control Arms with added Caster. Also see Links below in my signature on the Needle Bearing Failure and "ECGS Bushing" fix to understand more about this issue if you start to get vibrations.

    Even small Spacer lifts are generally frowned upon here. A 3" spacer probably will not get much love at all.

    Also check out the subforum for Suspension and other subforums like Wheels and Tires. A lot of these questions are better suited for those forums. Here is the suspension forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/suspension.18/

    I don't have any picture before and after. But the alignment came out fine the only problem is the ride what a differen from before but I expecte that since I had the spacers install. What should I look out for just in case.

    If you start having any clunks, vibrations, grinding or unusual noises from the front or rear. Wouldn't be surprised if your tires rub at full lock when in reverse for instance... may have to trim some plastic or cab mount chop if they didn't already.
