    LOL. That'll never hold up in court. I mean, hell, cigarettes have been saying they're bad for decades, and the tobacco companies STILL got hammered hard.

    (Should have bitch slapped the idiots that brought the law suits)

    Namyo... I think you're right...

    95% of CO lifts have built in top plate spacers in them anyways, but this debate will never end i guess.cold hard facts, if you have a coilover you have some kind of spacer in there as well. and yes i know the spacers on CO's are much different than putting an actual "spacer lift" in so i dont need those coments. can anyone find my spacers? lol

    Oh what a great idea, what was I thinking. Maybe you can attach some more rancho shocks to it too. I forget where I saw that picture on here with about 30 shocks on the truck with some mounted sideways. :laugh:

    or you could lift it right add those mods like one peice drive shaft, new leafs and do it yourself for pretty cheap. i mean i work at a bar and a gas station and im dropping 2600 on a pro comp stage 2, new drive shaft, leaf springs and doing it myself. if i need more money i balls up like a man and work harder. pick up those hours. your only limits in life are how passionate you are. you truly know your into your tacoma when you sweat and blood is in that shit. make those sacrifices. i know for a fact my truck is going to be a constant project but thats the way i want it. learn new things everyday through trial and error the way it should be

    The "Spacer" in many CO's are there simply to make the unit the correct length. They are not lift spacers.
