This is the video i needed. My truck has the 2” in the front but stock in the rear. It’s definitely squatting. Im going to order a 1” block get that done asap.
Bro, that is perfect! I have a 2001 Toyota 4runner limited 2wd and looking to do the same thing. I am having problems finding rear blocks specifically for my car but I think the Tacoma of the same year were on the same frame. However, I love your height. I am also looking to get the SpiderTrax spacers if I get wheels with 0 to -12 offset. Otherwise, I was told I can do 1.5 spacers to give it a more bulky stance......Again, appreciate the video and love the truck.
Hey man, your truck looks awesome! Super clean look! Thanks for adding the links for the products too. Do you know if the same set up will work on a 2022 TRD Sport 4x4 with the 6' bed? Also, in the comments somewhere you mention wheel spacers. Did you have these already on in the after pics? And the spacers were 1.25", correct? Just curious, what was your reasoning for adding the wheel spacers?
Unless they have completely overhauled the design on the 2022’s everything should still be compatible. When my truck was new last year it was tricky buying parts because a lot of the listings online only went through 2020 so I wasn’t exactly sure if they would fit. Shortly after they changed nearly all the parts listings to include 2021’s. I’m betting it’s gonna be the same for you.. I had the BFG tires on prior to adding the spacers, there was VERY minimal rubbing on a tiny portion of the lower fender at full turn. Then I added the wheel spacers, then the lift. I ran for quite a while without the spacers. I just added them for a slightly improved stance..
I’ve never even used my cruise control so I can’t really speak on that topic.. The “leveling kit” is technically no different than a lift. It is a lift, just smaller than what you normally see on other trucks that may have 3-6” of lift. I read that sports with a 2” leveling kit only seemed to sit higher in the front, which I didn’t want, so I added the 1” rear block to compensate for the difference. Seems like a perfect combination still
You mentioned you had minor rubbing with those tires before the lift if you went over a large bump. Was there any other issues? I have a 2022 on order and want to size up on the stock tire to the exact size you have (265/70/R17), but was concerned and wondered if I had to do a similar level kit.
No other issues. It barely cleared at full turn on flat ground. I’m guessing when I was turning and coming down my driveway it cause a minor rub when the suspension flexed downward..
Hi, I just bought same set up as you after I seen your video. Did you have to cut off tip of the 3 strut bolts to make them flushed? Don't it poke out?
I think 2” in the from would be level, but it’s hard for me to say for certain. I feel like it sits really nice with the 1” in the rear. Especially if you frequently haul things in the bed
I have a 2020 TRD off-road and for some reason just the driver side control arm seems to make contact with the coil while driving over some rough terrain…
Did you say that you have 1.5 wheel spacers on the wheels? I just bought a 2022 TRD Sport 4x2 last night, so I’m making my list & checking it twice. Wanted to buy the PRO wheels, but if I can space the factory wheels, I’ll ride those for a while
Any issues using your stock shocks/ clunking and to-pout over uneven terrain? Have your experience any drivetrain wear or noises? I've got a 2022 Tacoma Sport and love the look of a 2/1 lift with slightly larger tires. I'm trying to decide if I should save up for coil overs or if that is overkill. If you could do it all over, would you do it the same? Thanks man!
I haven’t personally experienced any issues with this setup, but I did pay to have my lift installed. For the same exact cost they would have installed the coilovers.. I guess if I had it to do over again I would have went with some rough country coilovers. But not for any particular reason other than it would have theoretically been a “better” upgrade. (Not compressing the factory springs)
Hey thanks! Here’s a link to the video where I painted it.. th-cam.com/video/IkZJtdfVHNE/w-d-xo.html it’s actually just Krylon Spray paint with a primer base. It’s still holding up great 2 years later! I’ll probably clean and re-coat it next summer
I’ll have to look for my printout, but it went well. The shop who installed them didn’t do It right. Took it to Wheel City (local place im pretty sure) and they do lots of lifts. They dialed it right in
You have to get an alignment after modifying the suspension. Otherwise it will set your tires at an angle like you said and wear them out evenly.. and relatively quickly
I did those billet front spacers on my '23 TRD Pro. Nothing on the rear, as it didn't appear to need it. I've not seen any 'squatting' on mine, tho. Engine, trans + diff & driver weight will eventually take its toll, too. It comes slightly lifted from the factory, with red billet UCA's & Fox 2.5's w/ red springs. Snappy!😅 Good vid.
I’m not exactly sure to be honest. I didn’t really NEED the spacers myself. I just preferred the look, and my BFG’s BARELY rubbed one little corner on the front fender without them.. (right side of the front fender if your looking straight at the drivers side wheel.)
I swear your before and after photos look as though the front ended up higher than the rear. Is it squatting even a little bit now? Too bad you didn't use the exact same camera angle in both photos.
I did this lift same as mine 2 front and 1 rear. But there is clunking sound in the rear feels but could figure out when it is coming from. I checked U-bolt and they're tight. Anyone have this issue?
I ran them without a lift for quite a while. But at that point I already had slightly larger tires (BFG 265-70-17). The fronts rubbed VERY slightly at full-turn, mostly just at full turn going down my steep driveway.
Hey thanks! Yeah the spacers give it a better look in my opinion. Just don’t forget to have an alignment scheduled so that your front tires don’t wear unevenly..
@@WesleyAllenNC thanks I am thinking about going with the exact lift. Enough to look good but to much to start dealing with other issues. You might have answered this before but did you do anything with the differential or sway bar?
@@davecarroll171 nope. The everything else was left stock. I didn’t do anything at all with the sway bars or differential. (Mine is also a 2WD) not sure if that matters
I don’t notice any. I would really have to have a before and after comparison to be sure. I’d say go with a true strut lift though if you have the cash. I’ll probably get the RC 3” kit eventually
Thanks. Yes it still has the stock UCA’s but I haven’t had any issues. If I had went with a 3” lift or larger, new Upper Control Arms would have certainly been on the order list!
I just got those rough country spacers for my 23 Off road. And a KAX 1 inch block. I'm planning on bumping up to a 17 inch tire here in the next year hopefully probably lyndo the 265/70/17 or 75 whichever gives the best clearance with a set of DX4 Nitro wheels on frosted bronze. I'm super excited I've never lifted a truck before.
Sorry for the delayed response.. I personally haven’t noticed a difference in the feeling. You would probably have to drive mine and then immediately switch into a stock truck and drive it to even come close to being able to tell a difference
So far so good! Just make sure to schedule an alignment before installing because you'll need one to avoid uneven tire wear as it changes how the front tires contact the pavement.
How happy have you been with this height? Do you wish you had gone higher? I am looking to do similar just want to make sure I go with the right height
I’m 6’6” and it’s great for me. It’s not REALLY lifted, but just enough for my 270/70/17s.. if your looking for something that everyone will notice, maybe bump up to 3” but make sure your wheels/tires are a little bigger, cause stocks would look small on a 3”. I feel like the 2” front 1” rear is a good height for a bit of lift without having to worry as much about geometry issues.. (you’ll still need to schedule a front end alignment either way)
@@WesleyAllenNC thanks! I have 265/70/17s now and I’m 5’6” so this may be just right for me and also allow a little bigger tire eventually. I also did the spidertrax 1.25” spacers over the weekend.
Is that the stock tire size? I got a new work truck coming in and I'm worried about gap above tires on my work truck since I can't put bigger tires on my work truck. Im gonna switch out to better tires but cant go bigger
I did. Pretty much one of the first things I did when I bought it besides painting the grill.. it’s supposed to help save an MPG or so on the highway but idk how proven that it. It’s easy to remove, if you don’t like it just bolt it back on. But I would save it Incase you ever go to resel

@@WesleyAllenNC how is alignment holding up? Wanting to do this on my 2020 tss off-road Tacoma, but not sure if it’s worth messing with alignment issues or uneven tire wear for just an ocd want.
Exactly, I don’t understand people trying to level truck out and they’re still lifting the rear too. For what??? What’s the point of doing the level kit
I could be way wrong, but don't lift kits just lift the body farther from the ground? Bigger tires lift the suspension farther from the ground, but you need the lift kit to help accommodate the bigger tires
Toyota warranties the truck that they built, not modifications. So warranty isn’t ‘voided.’ However in the slim chance that any future issues can be traced back to improper installation or a defective component, that specifically wont be covered under the factory warranty. That is also true even with the OEM Toyota lift kit installed by a dealer. Issues there won’t be covered by factory warranty. The outfit that did the work, ie dealer or shop is responsible for coverage of their work, and the component manufacturer is now responsible for the parts coverage. (The TRD kit warranty coverage depends on who installs it) For example if his ac stops working, or his front brake caliper starts sticking, those would still be covered under warranty , unless its found that those failed due to the spacer lift. That isn’t plausible so it wouldn’t be an issue. If the installer somehow nicked a brake line which caused caliper to fail then no, thats not covered. Again it doesn’t matter if a local shop , or the Toyota dealer messed up . Thats not covered by Toyota, the shop doing the work has to cover that. Either way the customer has the work and the rest of the truck still covered by Factory Warranty .
Not that I can tell. But honestly I didn’t do any sort of tests to double check this.. I knew I wanted a lift, but not so high that it drastically changed has mileage or wear on components. I’m very happy with mine!
Looks really nice. Lifting mine 2 inches with 5100’s and OME lift springs. Also going to run 265/70r17 on a 8.5 wheel with zero offset. Was thing 2 inches would look to big for 265/70 but that looks real nice 👍🏼 where did you get the bed sticker?
Yeah a 2/1 lift is good, seemed like a big difference at first, but I probably could’ve went with a 3/2 lift and been happy too. Thanks for the comment though! Also, I want to say I bought my decals off eBay but can’t seem to find them as of right now
@@WesleyAllenNC this was exactly what I needed to see thank you! I have the same truck just black. The white out looks amazing though. I want to get the 265/70 17 tires and was thinking rough country level. I definitely think the rear block is necessary. Looks great.
It’s been good for me. I don’t really off-road but have a crazy driveway and we live in an area where some of out friends have interesting parking situations/driveways so it helps. Any difference in ride quality has been negligible

My wife made me buy a two wheel drive. I may grow old, but I refuse to grow up !!! I like that lift. Thank you for the video !!!
Haha agreed! Good luck with your truck

This setup will work on your truck yes. There is no difference fitment-wise between your two trucks.
Do you have to recalibrate the radar cruise control? also, can you put lift kit plus leveling kit or is it one or the other?

Love it, don’t know if I am gonna straight to full suspension or do a block lift! You gonna do update on this once your drive it around?
I probably should do an update. I’ll try to get that out this weekend!
I would also like to read about the update after driving around
Your 2wd just get lift spindles it’s the best choice

Yo what’s up man just got my same level kit last week! I have the same wheel spacers as you as well! DO you think we can fit a 285/70/17?
Hey that's awesome! I hope your liking it so far. As far as tire fitment I really can't say for sure if they'd fit without rubbing or not..
I have this exact setup on my Trd sport and I have a vibration in the gas pedal and floor. Any idea? Already did front diff drop

Yo bro nice video! Will the truck be leveled with only the front 2” spacer? Or do you recommend the 1” block as well to be leveled?
I think 2” in the from would be level, but it’s hard for me to say for certain. I feel like it sits really nice with the 1” in the rear. Especially if you frequently haul things in the bed
Does the upper control arm rub on coil when the tire is jacked up?

Did you experience and long term problems using the spacers?
I didn't. But I also don't drive a ton, maybe like 8,000 miles per year.
How'd you make out with alignment? I have same lift in my 21 taco but they weren't able to get a 100% alignment.
I’ll have to look for my printout, but it went well. The shop who installed them didn’t do
It right. Took it to Wheel City (local place im pretty sure) and they do lots of lifts. They dialed it right in

I'll have to look at the link and possibly fix it. The blocks that I installed were 1" not 1.5

hey any update on this lift kit? any issues? would like to hear you 2 year review on this.
Just wanna ask if there any vibration in your Tacoma after you installed?
I don’t notice any. I would really have to have a before and after comparison to be sure. I’d say go with a true strut lift though if you have the cash. I’ll probably get the RC 3” kit eventually

Awesome. Did you wind up getting everything installed?
Based on this kit installation, do you have to install diff drop kit and sway bar relocation kit?
Do you still have the truck with the same lift ?
How’s the ride ? Did it change ?

Yes they can be cut down post install. I still have mine the same as what you saw in the video and haven’t had any problems.
What’s the difference before and after about the suspension felling?

So far so good! Just make sure to schedule an alignment before installing because you'll need one to avoid uneven tire wear as it changes how the front tires contact the pavement.

2”ft / 1” rear is too much IMHO. Stock Tacoma’s look much better leveled with front 1/2” (net 1” lift) spacer and leave the rear alone.
Disagree bro
Without bigger tires yes I agree. With 285s its perfect
Exactly, I don’t understand people trying to level truck out and they’re still lifting the rear too. For what??? What’s the point of doing the level kit
To lift the truck. And trucks look better raked. Especially with gear in them
@@robsams3643because it's cheap but it's not recommended.
Will the outcome be the same on a access cab tacoma 3rd gen?
I don’t see what not? Except I’ve heard different trim levels vary slightly. Like mines a sport but might be slightly different than a sr5
Or off road
Did you install this or did you take it to a shop? I have very minimal mechanical skills and would feel more comfortable having a pro do it. Thoughts?
He mentions at the very end that he had a shop do it. 😉
already knew to link those tires in the description nice truck
Lol. Thanks!

I’m sure I could. Just don’t know what the max tire size would be now.

What brand tool box do you have?
It’s a UWS low profile
@@WesleyAllenNC Thanks! Do you like it? I’m not sure if I should go with the $300 Husky, the $500 UWS, or the $750+ CamLocker.
Currently have 265/70/17 ko2s, if I do this spacer lift and and add 1.25” wheel spacers will it run?
Yes. I have 270/70/17s and 1.25" Spidertrax spacers with zero issues..
Looks really nice. Lifting mine 2 inches with 5100’s and OME lift springs. Also going to run 265/70r17 on a 8.5 wheel with zero offset. Was thing 2 inches would look to big for 265/70 but that looks real nice 👍🏼 where did you get the bed sticker?
Yeah a 2/1 lift is good, seemed like a big difference at first, but I probably could’ve went with a 3/2 lift and been happy too. Thanks for the comment though! Also, I want to say I bought my decals off eBay but can’t seem to find them as of right now
Did you put the spacer for the Tacoma lean ?
I didn’t. I read about that before but went ahead with the regular setup. I haven’t noticed a visible lean yet.
@@WesleyAllenNC oh nice did you do alignment after or it was good
@@tr4ilblazin It needed an alignment for sure. I paid around $100 for a local tire shop to do it
@@WesleyAllenNC can you even add the spacer for the taco lean is there enough tread ?
What wheels do you have on there?
Their actually the new-style of stock Toyota wheels
@@WesleyAllenNC this was exactly what I needed to see thank you! I have the same truck just black. The white out looks amazing though. I want to get the 265/70 17 tires and was thinking rough country level. I definitely think the rear block is necessary. Looks great.
Do you have the 1.25 spacers on in this video
Sorry for the delay.. Yes, it does have the 1.25” spidertrax spacers in this video..
Do you have wheel spacer on in this video?
Yes. SpiderTracks 1.25” amzn.to/3tnLsyV
If you did without the spacers would it rub?
Looks awesome!!
Thanks!
Do you think 275/70/17 would work with no rubbing or cutting on this lift kit?
I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport with 275/70/17 with 2" front lift and 1 1/2" back lift with no rubbing issues.
I have 275/70/R17 s and there is only rubbing at full lock in reverse with stock suspension. I would say 2 inch lift would remove the rubbing.
@@romanhenryiswhat's your wheel offset?
Will the outcome be the same on a access cab?
I don't see why not? The bigger factor may be whether you have a sport, off-road or another trim model rather than the cab size..
Looks great. How has the ride been for you? Any vibrations or any other changes needed?
It’s been good for me. I don’t really off-road but have a crazy driveway and we live in an area where some of out friends have interesting parking situations/driveways so it helps. Any difference in ride quality has been negligible
Will this fit 2nd gen tacoma?
I’m not sure if this specific spacer will fit, but I know rough country makes spacers for various models
Do you think 2" and 3" it gonna be too much ??
I like mine, but I’m sure 2-3 would look great as long as you have slightly larger tires than stock
Does it affects your mpg?
VERY slightly from what I can tell. Normally any time you lift the front it will affect MPG
