3 inch lift/level

So I just got a 2nd gen and I’m looking into a 3” lift/level kit. Would I be able to solely purchase the strut spacers along with the lift blocks and U-bolts, or do I absolutely need aftermarket/extended struts and shocks?

 

Absolutely need?……..
No.

Is it something I ever advise anyone to do?
Never.

 

Stay away from a drop bracket lift, it is extremely hard to reverse. Otherwise it’s your truck.

 

if you are just looking to level out, I would look for somebody selling a 3rd GEN suspension, basically rear shocks and front coil overs it’ll give you the leveling and a little bit of lift maybe an inch

 

Your Tacoma doesn't have struts.

Over 2" starts putting things like CV joints at risk

Lift doesn't make way for a larger tire package (in case that's you're unstated goal)

Blocks and spacers are fine for Friday night lead-sled cruisers. There are better choices if you have other goals.

 

if u go 3" you should get larger or bump stop extenders
If you don't can crush the shock
