    I have a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road truck and I am considering installing some 2" spacers on the wheels but was just wondering if it would void my warranty?

    I contacted Toyota Canada and this is what they said
    "Dear Mr. Pinks:

    Thank you for your recent correspondence.

    We would like to advise that Toyota Canada does not endorse modification of your 2018 Tacoma. As a consequence, we are unable to provide any information that would confirm whether any modifications you intend to perform would fit or properly operate within a vehicle that was not designed this way. Toyota Canada Inc. is required to register option packages with the Canadian government in advance of the models being distributed here. Specifications must be pre-approved.

    However, you may further discuss the matter with the Service Manager at your servicing Toyota dealership to ask whether or not such a modification can be done. We should mention that information and assistance regarding modifications are completely at the Toyota dealership's discretion and we must emphasize that they are not under any obligation to provide such assistance.

    We hope this is helpful and thank you for taking the time to write.

    Sincerely,

    Jonathan Zapata

    They are just writing that back to you, to cover themselves. So, if you install something, you can't comeback on them with problems. (Saying well the dealer said it was ok...)

    I don't say if a problem you have down the road is caused by the spacers then probably but if the spacers have nothing to do with it then I think your good.

    I can only spend my knowing about my 3in eveling-kit from Rough-Country (front spacer & diff drop, rear 1.5in block).
    The TSS-feature 'Lane departure' and 'Dynamic cruise control' works fine. Additional info: I have no vibrations in 2WD or 4WD.

    How big is your front spacer? I've read here many times it will give you double the lift
    so a 1" spacer on the front coils will provide a 2" lift.... is this what you've found?
