    Anytime you replace suspension components on the front an alignment is needed.

    Still on the fence as to spacers up front or adjustable shocks.

    Do the alignment yourself... it's easier than installing the shocks, that's for sure!

    Are you raising the front for looks only? What shocks do you currently have and how many miles?

    I have the SR5 factory shocks and think the ride is fine. As I was only looking to raise the front to level I was considering the pucks/spacers. Question is if there would be any issues such as ride getting stiff or things like that.

    How old are your shocks? The installation and alignment are enough work/expense that you want to make sure the components you use are good.

    If you want a spacer lift... get 1" thick spacers (good for a little under 2") and install new bumpstops and you should be ok. If you don't get new bumpstops you'll bottom out your shocks instead, which might kill them... and ride like crap. I bought these, only $26/pair and you'll need 10x1.25x30mm bolts too.
