    [​IMG]hey my name is jamie and im new here,just thought id give u peeps that didnt know an FYI ,if u r thinking of purchasing a body lift( i was goin to order a 2-3 inch body lift) for larger tires(i was thinking 34-35's) think again, i have a 3 inch "leveling kit" on my 2006 taco with 16-8 aftermarket rims 4.5 inch backspacing i think(ill get back to u on that one) so i ordered spacers for my rims 1.5 inch to be exact, (i eventually want to go with 18-9 or 10 inch rims) ive read a lot of forums and stuff, but none of them told me that with the extra width (told me a lot of other problems) that i would be rubbing my body mounts, so why i am saying this is because a body lift will do u no good to clear the body mounts, suspension is the only way to go, without custom cutting or mods..with the spacers on they hit my body mounts. (not real bad but enough to be annoying)

    PS my backspacing is roughly 4.5 or 6 around there was hard to tell with my less then adequate equipment
