    No don't do it, TRD PRO, fronts will give you around an 1" to 1-1/2" the most I would add is a 1/4" top plate spacer which will give you a 1/2" extra lift. Backs do not lift at all. Which TRD PRO's Bilstein, or Fox. I gained an 1-1/2" with Bilstein PRO's. Do 3 leaf progressive, or new pack in back.

    You spend good money on a 4x4 Tacoma don’t use spacers and blocks

    Exactly now dont mess it up by sticking spacers in there. If you wanted more lift, then should possibly look into a bigger spring, 650 or 700 lbs or went with bilstein 5100 and a ome spring.

    Do you plan on doing a lot of off-roading or using the truck on the sand. If you give us more info we can try to help recommend a good suspension for you.

    He already got the fox set from a pro... he can sell it I guess. I would put it on (if doing it myself) and see what it is all about. Unless you are going to pay someone to install it... do it right the first time.

    Then that pro suspension will work fine for your needs
