    hey fellow 5 luggers

    I'm going to start buying all the things I need to lift my 14 taco reg cab

    I won't do the install prob until next spring due to, I just got new tires couple months ago 235/75r15s and to many bills lol

    So I want a spacer lift, but I want the eBay ones lol don't judge peeps

    I'm looking to get the 2" or the 2.5" they have on eBay for $55 I want a bro lean but not to much or just leveled front to back,

    Since I'm a Gardener and haul my tools around when im in service,
    But anyways in going to upgrade the stock shocks to the 5 lug bilstein ones

    I don't plan to lift the back bc I'm short and it be hard to reach for my tools lol

    I'm planning to get some 31" tires and some wheels that stick out hahah

    I heard that 3.5" back spacing rubs on the newer tacos so what would I need so I don't put spacers for the wheels, would I need 4.5" backspacing or??? This is where I'm stuck and can't find much info, and on the spacers bc Everyone has fat bobs or ready lift,

    If people have pics of similar setups of my wants it be great I know there's "tons" of posts but can't find the ones like I want

    Thanks

    It has just about everything you need to know about lifts :notsure:

    It even shows that 2.75" is too much bro so with 2.5" it'll probably give a little front end lift but not much

    As for back spacing I have 3.625" with a 1/4 spacer so 3.875" the shop tried to grind down some of the calipers first but figured a spacer is better.

    As for ebay spacers I was going to get one until a fellow TW hit me up

    So the more backspacing the more it sticks out? I don't want it to stick out to much just like an inch or two lol
