    OK, I am installing a 2 inch strut spacer to level out my 2025 Tundra Platinum 4x4. I received my spacers and am wondering about the bump stops. I searched the 3 Gen forum about bump stops and couldn't find out what size bump stop or what size spacer I would need, I may have overlooked it.

    With the 2 inch strut spacer is it better to go with longer bump stops (assuming they are available) or spacers? Where would they be available? Thanks for any info.

    Westcott sends a 1/4" bump stop spacer with their 1/2" shim (~1" of lift) for reference.

    BDS uses a 1/4" bump stop spacer with their 2" level kit. Not sure on the actual thickness of their strut shim though but it should be in the 1"-1.25" range.

    Thanks for the info, my 2-2.5 inch strut spacers actual measurement is 1 3/8 inch so in my inexperienced opinion I think I might need 1/2 inch bump stop extension spacer. Hopefully that will work.
    Guess it's a little late to ask but is it bad for the front suspension to do a strut lift even if it is only 2 inches? I have seen a few comments about increased wear on the lower ball joints. Mine is just a daily driver with the occasional field road or forest road with minimal mud.

    I think its fine for street and light off-road and you are doing the right thing by extending the bump stop. I would not go with any more lift up front though.
