    Haha, I would suggest just going 1 notch over stock so that your ride isnt too compromised, it gets a bit rough when you add too much spring preload.

    I would say stick with the first lowest lift setting or stock setting on the stock springs and you should be fine.

    That is my thinking too... take advantage of having a lift available, but just an inch (or .85") so to have a difference and may a tiny less scraping of the front end on those high crown desert roads in Baja! So, do you know or have a favorite alignment shop that won't screw up the Tacoma and won't cost me heavy coin? I suppose Pep Boys isn't one? LOL

    An inch can make a world of difference. At least that's what my wife says haha

    That's a bit of a drive from Vista/San Marcos, but I know it is a good place.

    Seems to be hit or miss depending on the tech, there are 3 shops off of S. Santa fe right near the Discount tire shop.
