Spacer lift or No?

I'm new here. I'm sure this subject might have been debated too much. I want to get the toytec 3/1 spacer kit. thoughts and opinions please. Thanks in advance

 

Depends on what you want to do with your truck. Pavement princess you'll be fine. Minor off roading you'll be fine but it'll be rough. If off road a lot youll want a suspension lift.

 

Several options available. I have a 3/2 and will be pulling it out soon and replacing it.

 

yea I'm not going to be off-roading. maybe the occasional muddy field going to check on my game camera. I know for sure, I'll be saving for the toytec boss kit

 

Save up for Toytec goodies. Forget about the toilet spacer puck. I'm in the process of spiffing up my 14. Patience is a virtue.....

 

Pros and cons of the spacer kit?

 

Preload coils......f**ks up ride....good for mall crawlers

 

So the spacers will mess the truck up?

 

No...I just despise spacer lift. "Looks good". Search function is your friend...

 

Plain and simple it's a 5/10ths solution. As mentioned>>>>be patient and save your money to do it right.

 

As said before, identify your use of the truck. Pavement princess you’ll be fine. Off-roading and not being careful, parts will likely break.

 

Buy once, cry once

 

^^^^^this^^^^^

 

Everyone's needs are different. Doesnt sound like you need a suspension lift, blocks/spacers will be fine. But as others have said, if you go to hard with it, stuff is apt to break.

But...better to have and not need then it is to need and not have. Buy once cry once.

 

most definitely, more of a pavement princess but I might get the spacer kit just to fit my wheels and tires and then save for the ultimate or boss kit.

 

I agree with you there sir. I typically do that with most things I've built.

 

1000's of spacer lifts have been installed.
They are like a decent house brand drink - cheap and easy on the wallet

1000's of suspension lifts have been installed
They are like a good bourbon - time tested and worth the wait

Listen to the people in the previous posts as they kinda know what they are talking about.

 

My Tundra came with a 6” Rough Country spacer lift.

Gutted out, put in ADS 3.0 bypass coilovers, new Deaver leaf springs and have been on loads of trails and rides smooth on pavement. Hell of a lot of dough, but it gets me off roading without worry and has great ride on Hwy.

 

Spacers== water

Some people complain when a truck actually rides like a truck lol truth is that spacer lifts will show their true colors not only when you off-road but anytime you run over something unexpectedly or actually use your truck.

 

i have 3/1 pro-comp spacer lift and no change in ride .No preload of coils,spacer mounts on top of strut

 

Spacer on top is better. The best way to do a spacer lift. Geometry still not the greatest. Diff drop?

 

Yes on a diff drop

 

can I mount mine on top as well if I get the toytec kit? sorry for my lack of knowledge

 

Mine rides stiff as a hay wagon on bumps and potholes. I cant wait until my kit come off.

 

I had the 6" RC spacer lift on my truck, and it changed the ride a little bit, but nothing dramatic (remember its a lifted truck!). Ive replaced the blocks up front and put the RC lifted struts and now the truck rides like stock, as well as gained another 1" of lift (settled).
