    I'm not here to flame or be flamed. He's right, I didn't include it in my list.

    Won't be the last time I forgot something - just ask my wife :D




    As for OP:
    You're probably fine unless you're trying out for the baja series in your tacoma.

    Even with stock or a mid travel setup and gussets, a spacer will most likely be required. Gussets are not exclusive to long travel.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    i run wheel spacers on all four corners of my rig granted mine is a little stronger then a stock Tacoma :rolleyes: I don't see an issue with running wheel spacers on a stock truck Tons of guys do without any issue. SpiderTrax are number one in my book but my axles are SpiderTrax I had to match :D

    if you run a wide wheel spacer and have a big offset aftermarket wheel you will be adding stress to your hub/wheelbearing....i run 35's on stock wheels i run a 2in BORA wheel spacer for clearance issues ...theres been zero problems with my truck in over 40k miles 33's with 1.25 spidertrax and 35's with 2in bora's....long ass road trips and very hard wheeling adventures ...im buying new rims that are 17x9 with 3.5in backspacing soon so i will remove me 2in spacers cause theny wont be needed any longer with the aftermarket offset wheels...does this make sense? i have a hard time putting shit into words lol
