Lift Advice / Pls Help

Hey guys! Today is Monday January 25th 2021. This is a time sensitive thing, next week I am getting my Tacoma lifted on the 4th of February . I ordered 4" spindles and 2.5" adjustable Bilstein 5100's. But I'm having second thoughts that 6" won't be big enough for what I am looking for. I currently have a 3" strut spacer level kit on the front. I'm considering leaving it on with the spindles for 7 inches of lift. My local shop has recommended against it, but I've talked to multiple Tacoma owners that have done it and they've been fine, no ride quality issues and no alignment issues. Has anyone here successfully done 4" spindles with a level kit or something similar? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks i advance!

 

Anyone that tells you that there are no ride/stability/drivability issues tacking a 4" lift onto an existing 3" spacer lift is either lying or too stupid to notice. The folks at your shop are professionals and are giving you good advice. I would follow it.

 

It can be done. The maxtracs do not change the geometry of the suspension. Check out the maxtrac lift thread for more info or talk to @ChadsPride. He has been running 4" spindles for some time now https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/maxtrac-spindle-lift-for-2nd-gen-prerunners.203889/

 

I would listen to your shop. Do it right.

 

My shop also mainly works on big diesel trucks and even said they don't know much about Tacoma's so I'm just trying to get some extra feedback

 

With the spindles you can go with the 3" spacer on top of your stock coilovers. I would suggest getting some aftermarket uca though. As 3" of lift from the spacer will max out your caster on stock uca. The ride will be rough with the spacer as well. I would go with the 5100s on the first clip (0 lift) with some ome coils. That would give you lift and a comfortable ride with the spindle.
