    Plenty of people run spacer lifts, and they're fine for certain applications.

    You can't do any real off roading without risking over extending the shocks and blowing them.

    You also have to be ok with the fact it'll ride pretty rough.

    If you're fine with those things, then a spacer lift will work for you. If you want to spend a little more ($650) then you can do it "right" but still on a budget.

    6x5.5 bolt pattern. Spidertrax as well as Bora are popular, as long as they're hub-centric.

    Not sure what those numbers actually mean, just that it's the bolt pattern. If you google 1.5" wheel spacer tacoma, you'll find your options.

    Never heard of them, so I can't comment on them. I will say not to skimp on the part that's literally holding your wheels on your truck. You don't want that failing driving down the highway!

    I ran a spacer lift on my truck for quite a while. It didn't ride any different than it did "stock"....Same EXACT ride....If you off road much, you can run the risk of running out of shock travel well before you run out of suspension travel. That can be remedied with a spacer on the bump stop equal to the thickness of the top plate spacer..... 99% of the horror stories you hear about spacers are people just parroting what they heard someone else rattling on about. Spacers aren't the best way to lift a truck, but they are perfectly acceptable for on road and LIGHT off roading, especially on a tight budget. I did almost 53,000 miles with a spacer lift, did a fair share of off roading, and had ZERO problems. Mine was an $100 "EBAY kit"....(2" spacers/1"blocks)

    Finally, after 70,000+ miles, the stock shocks began to wear out as they would even if left "unlifted". I do a lot of interstate highway driving, on concrete roads, and that isn't easy on shocks...I replaced them with Bilstein 5100's, OME 885X coils, Deavers 2" AAL, and a home made 1/2" "lean spacer" on the front left. Ride is excellent. Handling is excellent, and off road performance is all I could hope for. With struts pre-assembled, I spent $733 on that setup. I also added a Ubolt flip kit for another $80 investment. The "new" lift was purchased through Headstrong Offroad. (Talk to Marie)

    You can do Bilstein 5100's in one of their lifted positions, do the assembly yourself, use stock coils (which I don't recommend) and get as much as 2-1/2" front lift. This preloads the coils to gain lift and will result in a stiffer ride. The OME coils give a much smoother ride while raising the truck with LONGER coils instead of stiffer.... For the same money as a rear blocks, you can add a 1-1/2" or 2" add-a-leaf and get a slightly better result. They'll give you more load capacity along with the lift. (Not a LOT of capacity increase, but some none the less) With blocks, you'll need new (longer) ubolts. That's a great excuse to go with the ubolt flip kit!

    A complete suspension "kit" is a far better choice, but sometimes the budget makes our choices for us. Spacer lifts don't get much respect, but they aren't nearly as bad as many will portray them.
