    I'm doing some suspension work in an attempt to improve loaded handeling. With that in mind I'm looking at picking up some Supersprings. Problem is, while I really don't want to lift the truck the Supersprings add an inch and a half in the back, and I need to level the truck out.

    After talking to a few guys locally it sounds like my best option is going to be ball joint spacers in the front. Unfortunately I can't find anyone who makes spacers that fit my model and year. I do have access to a miller, so I could mill out my own spacers, but given the amount of time it would take (I have no free time whatsoever these days) and the fact that it's not something I do on a regular basis I'd prefer to buy them from someone who really knows what they're doing.

    Anyone know of a source for ball joint spacers for a 1st gen 2wd regular cab?

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Never seen BJ spacers on a Tacoma you could do a top plate spacer on top of the coils to level it out.

    Never seen or heard of them on tacomas, the toyota pickups before the tacoma, yes. You should just get some Bilstein 5100s up front instead of any kind of spacers.
