major help on lift got ?'s
i have a 2000 tacoma trd and im trying to get a little more clearance to put on some 32's. I had a idea that I would put on two inches or so on a coil spacer and a add a leaf in the back and that would be cheap easy and effective. I recently went to a four wheel parts store and they said that the spacers would require me to get new shcks and struts and that it wouldn't fit 32s and also my stock rim would not be able to hold any larger size tire than the stock 31s. I have been getting mixed messages with internet stores and friends and these four wheel part places. My funds are limited and want to know if the spacers and 32 inch tire idea would work. i heard i could retain my shocks because i just purchased monroe sensatrac shocks and struts. help please

Re: major help on lift got ?'s
spacers and add a leafs will get you enough room for 32x11.50"s as far as shocks go, you WILL NOT need new or longer front shocks, because they are made only to let the control arm drop so far to prevent cv/ball joint binding, as for the back, you can try it with the shocks you have right now, it will be ok for street use but the shocks will limit your articulation and will need to get longer ones if you wheel alot. Now, about your wheels, they are fine, my friend has a tacoma with the stock 15x7 alloys running 32x11.50's with no lift, but he also rubs a bit. Hope this helps, Joe

help on your lift
Get a 3inch revteck. It will clear up to 33's and no worries.

they do increase the wear and tear on the cv's because they increase the angle on them. but if you get a kit like the one from cornfed you get a diff drop with it that will help out the angle and you will be fine! I would say they make the best spacer lift for the money! if you have the money then a coilover(saws.kings,etc) would be nice! if you don't run over 32 inch tires that is all you need. if you want 33's then a 2inch body lift will be a good idea with it! red |

Re: major help on lift got ?'s
I heard something about the differential drop sounds a little like how a truck with a solid front axle was lifted, the tallest I have seen is the 3 inch spacers but as I said they say you shouldn't go over 2". If I went 3" spacer with the diff drop would that be safe enough? It's been way to long since Ive had a 4X so go easy on me with the next question here, where do You get the cornfed lift kit on line? And what is a (saws.kings,etc) like I said it's been a while so don't tear me up to much.

Re: major help on lift got ?'s
Thanks for the advice, I clicked on the link You posted and came up with errors so I googled and Yahood cornfed but did not see an actual company cornfed. Is cornfed an actual lift or a style of lift?
