    3inch lift
    Hey sorry for the noob question. Have a 3inch suspension lift on my tacoma. The rear is higher then the front and would like to level it out. This is what I have. Was told I need upper control arm so it can fit. Is this correct? If so What would you recommend? Thanks

    Wait you want to run a spacer lift on top of a suspension lift? Or you just want to run the spacer lift?

    How is the rear lifted? Just take out a leaf. Or remove the block.

    Please don't put that spacer along with your coils. By the looks of your UCA angle, you're already pretty high up front. You should adjust the rear and drop it a bit.

    Get a smaller block for the rear.

    @vrod671 is getting an upper control arm so it fits a bad idea?

    If you have the money for the UCA's, get them. But it's not a good idea to stack the spacers on the coils. Just remove the blocks in the rear or get a smaller one.

    Sell the spacers and don't look back.

    Please spend some time in here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/suspension.18/

    And here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacoma-lift-faq-guide-read-this.11282/

    A lot of members will say that spacers and block lifts are the spawn of the devil himself. Most members will recommend Bilstein 5100s and AAL for a cheap and easy lift. Also, a UCA will be good for anything above 2.5" of lift or when the aftermarket shocks exceed stock lengths.

    Oh okay good. So all you gotta do is ditch the block and add a leaf instead. Or just take the rear lift completely off and level it with the Billys.
