    No but they should have this stance with better tires was my point. These are the ol bilsteins guys, spacers have 0 issues on the fox shocks. Yall forget these are 2.5" shocks. I get that yall hate breaking your shocks but thats not an issue on this setup.

    [​IMG] Of coarse those bilsteins are going to break at the bottom, just look at the pic for comparison.

    NICE!
    I had those exact tires but they were too slick on wet pavement, like driving on oily roads almost.
    Switched to the AT2s and never looked back. They're a HUGE upgrade, at least for me.

    Curious how your experience has been with the Toyo M/Ts?

    Just to clarify, the M/Ts are great tires. If I didn't need to drive on wet pavement, I'd have kept them. :)

    I honestly don't care that you put them on there. I agree that they'll probably work just fine.

    I would imagine it would be hard to find a broken fox shock because of a spacer.............because nobody does it.

    Are we still getting into this whole moronic spacer flaming thing?
    Anyone who bashes someone for spacers is ignorant, simple as that. If you aren't racing or jumping your truck, a simple 1-2" spacer lift simply used for leveling/looks/tire clearance is the most cost effective, SMARTEST route you could take. They've been doing these on Tacomas since the 2nd gen came out, they're bulletproof. Different lifts for different needs.

    If you want to douche it up with your poser truck and spend more just so you can brag to your bro friends, bro, then have at it, bro.
    I've had my leveling lift for 10k miles and it's been great. Zero problems, zero issues and served MY needs. But DARN, I wish i had spent another $500-1500 just so I could brag about my trucks abilities... that I never use or ever needed. o_O

    Here's an idea, if you are relatively new on TW or a little slow, maybe learn a little more instead of displaying your ignorance and jealousy. It's ok if you're slow, Forrest Gump was slow and he did great things!

    People are going to have a better truck than you, deal with it.

    Correct. It of coarse does limit your travel, but like i said, this is a temporary setup so i can piece together the wheels and tires then save for the Kings setup down the road. The ride is Identical to factory

    Little different story there. This isnt a marketing sceme. The Fox suspension has a bigger shock body so the regular spacers will not work.

    End of the day were all tacoma owners and we do what we want to our trucks regardless of what people say. People love it, people hate it, some people don't give a shit about it.

    I will say that the truck does look nice, regardless of how the spacers affect the truck on or off road.
