Been reading up on spacers and still have some questions. Looking to level the truck (possible lift the rear a bit with shackles, not don't want to go over 3" up front). Want to keep stock shocks (at least for now). Tires will stay stock size, and wheeling will consist of fire roads, and very light rock wheeling. Nothing crazy at all.
First, what is the most lift I can go with on the stock TRD shocks? Front and rear?
Can I do 3" with just spacers, or do I need other crap (like diff drop, brake line extension, prop valve bracket, etc)? Seem to be getting mixed answers to this question so far)
Who makes the tallest strut spacer (seems like Daystar does, but I'm not sure), so I can keep a closer to stock ride?
As I see it so far:
Daystar: Cheap, but tends to sag over time, better ride because of more spacer on top of strut and less on top of spring
Toytec: Good quality, but all the spacing is in the coil, therefore stiff ride.
Revtek: Good quality, but expensive.
Cornfed: Looks like all the spacer is in the coil (haven't found a good pic)
Tundra coils: requires new shocks, therefore expensive and impractical for me
Nitrous Enterprises: Don't think they will fit the Taco, right?
Seems like Daystars is the best bet for me, but not sure. I will probably go with daystar shackles if I do the rear at all, unless someone has a better idea.
TIA
