    So I got a 3' Tuff Country suspension lift (it was cheap at the time). Just got it installed today but it doesn't seem like a real 3" suspension lift. Is it because it's a spacer lift versus coil-overs/springs? It seems like it's just a leveling kit. Additionally, the shocks don't fit the lift. They should have been extended (this just adds to me feeling like I bought a shitty spacer lift).

    What I bought:

    Thanks!

    Tacomas lifted 3 inches really don't look a whole lot different if you can get measurements up and pics of the kit and some pics of your truck it would help alot

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Gypped = a derrogitory term referring to being ripped off by Gypsies.

    You paid $300 for a "lift" kit. Could have been worse. Let's see some pics.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    Looks like you got spacers in the front and an AAL with new shocks in the back. It's a spacer lift.
