Anyone on here seen just 1/4” Coachbuilder spacers on?

    Don’t want full level I have now as nose looks high, especially on passenger side with lean, and I don’t want to bump shackles up since I want to stick with 275/70s. Really want close to stock as I think it looks great with lower wheel well openings with the 275s, but I spotted the 1/4” coachbuilder spacers which give 1/2 to 3/4” of lift. I know...very mild, but would maybe give a little beefier look without leveling and I’m going in anyway to take out the current spacers. Has anyone seen just a pair of those added to gain that small amount of stance?

    I’m thinking the same. An expensive alternative I’ve been looking at would be the bilstien 6112’s at the 1.3” setting, but not a lot of talk on here about that level. Supposed to be a nice ride upgrade

    I scored a set of 1/4” ones from a fella nearby. I have a lift but will be using to fix the tundra lean. Glad they exist.

    I bet the 6112s would ride really nice at 1.3" setting.
    I had 5100s on my Tacoma and the ride was much better at 0.85" than it was at 2.5 or even 1.75.
    On a budget the shims would be cheap and easy, if you wanna spend some cash and possibly improve your ride, a set or coilovers set at around and inch would be sweet

    I currently have 1.5” spacers I put in when I got the truck. I just personally don’t like the look and was conservative thinking 2” would be too high. Not happy with the 1.5, I know crazy. To me, and on my truck, I liked the truck before the nose looked so high, especially on the passenger side. I have another thread where I’ve received tons of great ideas, raise the back, etc, but the idea was I was happy with height of the back with the 275/70 RGs and don’t want to chase the front. Wanted to see if anyone was ever conservative and just dropped in a 1/4” shim for a tiny bump up.

    I say go for it. I like the stock look too. I can't stand the nose high look, and really am not a fan if the level look. Some may say lifting the front by less than an inch is useless, but I say it's your truck so just do it. Itll look great.

    Stack 2 of them and all it should do is hurt your CV angles a bit I’d think. Should be OK with the stock bolts and everything. I’d pair them with a 1” bump stop extension.

    I think I may go this route as well. I looked on the website, they got shims that says it gives 1" of lift, perfect for what I'm going for.
