    Hello. I have a 2004 PreRunner. I installed a 2.5 revtek spacer into a Monroe Quick Strut. My question is at rest, not driving, the strut looks to be fully extended, that there is no more room/space for the strut to extend out. Is this a normal thing?

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    that's the downfall of spacers... limits your down travel...

    Gotcha. It also sounds like the front end is falling apart. I have everything tight as can we. Would longer travel struts work better ?

    Would the top mount ones be a better lift? Instead of the spacers?

    Check the skid plate or sway bar links for clunks. Getting Bilstein 5100s and ditching the spacer would be around the same price and a much better system.

    Gonna put the stock struts back on till I get back from deployment and then look at going that route. Thanks.
