    So is it a mistake to go with the spacer lift? what about the Toytec Ultimate tacoma lift kit, is it worth the difference in money?

    Welcome to TW! I just installed that same lift... if you have the extra cash for it invest in some energy suspension bushings for the uper control arms sway bar and rack and pinion, because the ride will feel better and you are going to have to take apart the whole front end suspension anyway to get those spacers in that the lift comes with. I had to take the upper control arm off to get it low enough to fit the spacer in (i also added KYB gasadjusts up front) Just a lil FYI. Anyway good luck... if you have anyquestions with the install let me know i just did it.

    Bummer, the only reason I looked at this was because of the thread title. Guess I took it in a literal sense.
