YES, another lift advise thread

no big.... I've called billy about them a long time ago

 

Here ya go OP, best resource available: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacoma-lift-faq-guide-read-this.11282/


Here's a quick blurb from that page:

Exclusive for 2wd: Allied spindles, these spindles will yield 4" lift for your 2wd Tacoma. They cannot be used on a 4x4.


Rear Lifts
First off you have:

Lift blocks: These are blocks of metal that are placed under you rear leaf packs, on top of your axles. The kit includes the lift blocks and longer U-bolts. This is the most basic of the rear lifts and adds NO additional benefits other than height.

Add-A-Leafs This type of lift consists of an additional Leaf spring that has an increased arc. They added lift by increasing the curve of your rear stock spring pack. They also allow added load capacity for hauling. This type of rear lift is the high end of rear lifts. Consists of a new multiple spring pack. Provides lift, a smoother spring rate. May add or decrease carrying capacity depending on the spring characteristics. This rear lift is also fairly simple to do since they come pre-assembled. Simply R&R.

 

Dakars are stiff with out load, or without pulling one of the leafs. Other packs are good with no load though.
