This is one of the best DIY videos I've ever seen. I did front spacers on my 2020 4WD Tacoma this AM and it went just as you described. One note: If you go with a 2" front lift like I did the spacers blocks are about 1" thick (26.0mm actual) but the studs on the strut are 29.0mm long. The spacer won't seat against the bottom of the strut tower unless you take about 1/8" (4.0mm actual) off the studs.

Hi Phillip, I bought a 2006 Taco 4D 2WD PreRunner Sport and it was lifted 2"-3" on all wheels. The truck drives very rough, stiff and bumpy. The previous owner said this condition is normal since the truck was lifted. I don't see any spacers on the front shock absorbers, and there is 2-3" spacer blocks on the rear differential. The front and rear shock absorbers appear to be the stock bleistein shock absorbers. What do you think is causing the stiff suspension? If I want to undo the lift, aside from removing the rear block spacers, how do I restore the flexibility of the front shocks? Thank you very much. Your video is very comprehensive and easy to follow. Keep posting videos.

Thats some spacers and longer bolts you use to lower the front differential on a 4x4 truck. Its used after you do a lift, if your front cv axles are at too much at an angle and binding. So it lowers the front differential so the angle of the front cv axles are more straight. In my experience I havent had anycv axle binding with height of life

The ones I've done for toyota never came with the differential drop washers and longer bolts, its mostly if your front axles are at too much of an angle after the lift is installed, I've the axles are sitting at too much of an angle the CV joints may bind, I've only heard of people encountering that on the earlier Tacomas around 2005 to 2007ish range, never hurts to order a kit with the washers and bolts for the drop just in case you have binding issues, but I've never personally had that issue with a 2 or 3 inch lift.

Won't Using a leveling kit as a lift kit for the front and rear make the ride of the overall suspension shitty?🤔
@FixItPhillip4 жыл бұрын
The rear blocks just sits in between the rear dif and leaf spring. Not adding stiffer rear leaf springs so it doesnt affect suspension. I wouldnt go more than 2 to 3 inches in the front if you still have stock front spindles. Anything more than that can affect suspension/stiffness/ride quality. So 2 - 3 inch spacers in front is ok and i havent experienced ride problems or customer complaints. Spacers sit on the outside of strut and spring so not much if any ride difference. Also if you put even higher blocks in the rear then you may need longer shocka as well. Thanks for asking, hope that answers your question.

The only thing holding the leaf springs to the rear did are the ubolts, there is a little center nipple that keeps the rear diff and the leaf spring centered, maybe its a little stuck there, should be able to separate the leaf springs and the diff by lowering the diff enough, if it's still stuck you can try prying in between a little.
