    No spacer is going to help your truck. You just keep tossing spacers on that thing. Do it the right way and get a proper drop bracket kit. End of thread. Mic drop :facepalm::bananadead:

    With angle like that the moment you let the front go full drop when off roading things will break.

    Is that bilstien shock set to lowest setting? Why would you put a spacer on top of a adjustable shock.

    The block only looks like it’s a 2” leveling kit. I don’t think there’s anyway their on the lowest setting

    I put the spacer on before i was aware the billy was adjustable lol. And no it has 2 more nothes to raise it i beleive. Im thi king of removi g the spacer now but if i put the billy shock to its highest setting wouldnt it put me back in the same spot with the cv axle and everything else?

    Either set the shock to the lowest setting and keep the spacer or remove the spacer and adjust the shock to the highest setting you probably have way to much lift.

    Like said already you are trying to lift your truck and dont have the budget to get it where you want it. You need to either set it to a lower lift and save money for alittle to get a proper drop bracket lift or you need to lower the lift and be happy not trying to compensate by having a huge lifted (tiny) truck.

    I think ill just put the billys to the lowest setting and keep the spacer on to make things easy and a softer ride on the coils.. then add the diff drop spacers to bring the cv axles down more. aaaaaaannnnd dennnnn(asian lady voice)...save for a drop bracket kit for the near future..also if anyone is interested in these 20" tundra rims or the 5 lug adapters.please by all means let me know.
