    I had a spacer lift on my truck for 1 yr. Hated it. Front shocks were brand new when we installed the lift and squishy sounding (wore out) after about 8 months. No wheeling offroad either. Another thing to note is you will get axle wrap sooner or later with blocks in the back. -I did

    Yes body lifts are frowned upon here but I do have a 1" body lift on mine. No issues whatsoever so far. But I would never go higher than 1".

    Heres a comparison pic of my truck with spacers/blocks vs OME lift/AAL/ shackles/BL. Yes the OME lift setup is a lot more than spacers but well worth it IMO.

    Here's a pic parked next to a stock one from awhile back.

    Man on wheelersoffroad you can get bilstein 5100's on your front and 1" or 2" AAL for $250 and just wait till you have the money and replace the rear suspension:bananadance:

    you can use with the stock springs, but if you adjust the ring up to the next setting and so on it gets progressively stiffer. it is "better" to use aftermarket springs to add the lift you want

    Thanks. That looks promising for decent light. Not for 95 Tacoma but I can try it for backup lights in 5th gen 4Runner.
