    Has anyone put two lift spacers together on the front of their truck? Would that even work or would it be to dangerous?

    That would be dangerous.

    Not possible. You have less than 3" total to play with in terms of front end variation from OEM alignment before linkages and control arms bind up. You can barely get the front end re-aligned, going to a 2.75" spacer lift.

    Even with the 2.75" spacer lift, you still have to use the OEM length front strut - whether reusing the original, or going with an aftermarket replacement - it has to be the same length (more or less) as the OEM strut.

    Being cheap is very expensive. Do it right.

    Ohh okay I see. I had a friend who did that with his Ford and it seemed fine. But I wasn't sure if it was possible or even safe with the Tacoma's.

    NEVER stack your spacer lifts.

    On top of that, 3in spacers is the max you should raise your front before you start getting serious problems. More than likely, you'll be tearing CVs left and right.
