    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Well you must not have searched too well because if you get 5100's, ya don't need a spacer lift.

    This cracks me up. Bad experience with spacer kits makes them all bad? Jumping truck = broken parts. Just lowering the bump stops cures the broken strut thing. Look into Low Range Off Roads spacer kit, well designed and thought out. Had 5100's before, like this TRD sport suspension better.

    I have the 3" Revtec and it works great for me, My buddy Travis has it also and was chasing another friends fully built tundra in Plaster city, he got in some big drops and bottomed out snapping the bottom of the coilover. When you buy the kit it comes with a sticker that says "Not For Off Road Use" It is made to make your truck look better. If you want to jump it you're going to have to invest your money in a lot more then just suspension, or live with the pile of $hit your truck will soon become.

    Toolbox , dog poo and one bullet hole! Three inch aal,overload spring pack for towing Chevy coils ,and leveling kit up front Spidertrax 1.25 spacers 285/75r16 bfgat with extra siping for rock grips Demello bumper Warn m8000 commercial grade winch with bigger spool Cb in cab Toolbox light Band-aid on door ding Anytime on backup camera Oil cooler and aftermarket trans cooler from desert rail High lift jack mount amid a custom block and tackle for side pulls
    I had a 1st gen taco with 3 inch spacers an a new set of coils! I used to jump it, thump it and crawl up poles. If you take care with your lines youll have no problems. And if it pops the shock or the coil slips you get to upgrade to the lift that " every body" says is great after they spent a big lump of money on it.

    3" RBP lift, anytime fogs
    Ive had spacer lifts on

    2002 tacoma
    2000 tundra
    2012 tacoma
    2007 silverado

    Not a bit of problems, if they were so "crappy and cheap" procomp rbp skyjacker and many more would not put there names on it! Don't let these people bash, "why would you put a cheap lift on a 30K truck???" Why would you wheel one hard enough to fuck one up? I have a wheelin truck for that, and it ain't 30K! If I was going to do that, yeah, I would invest more money in the suspension! Thats all I'm saying! There perfectly fine for a daily driver that stays on the road.

    It's the band wagon mentality most times on the net. I've used them on more than 5 vehicles and not once did I have the slightest issue with
    ride or anything else, ever. If you just want a little lift and don't plan on
    allot/any 4 wheeling there's no need for the added expense.

    If you are just looking for a off road ready look, then a spacer is fine. If you want it capable of off roading then you should put the extra into a good suspension. Just understand there is a difference between a high heeled shoe and a backpacking boot.
