For the front, I'm doing 3" spacers. I read that add a leaf only lifts about 2"... so would that even look right? This truck is my daily driver... I usually have an empty bed, but on occasion, I will need it to be able to carry some heavy stuff like lumber, cement blocks... but again, only once in a while.

It's really hard to recommend blocks, but the AAL will be pretty stiff. Oh well, it is a truck now, isn't it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Wheeling a Stepside Tacoma on 37s Exploring in a T4R Ltd V8 Re: Rear lift... blocks vs. add a leaf #662598 11/02/05 10:56 PM Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 140 WV/NC Hurricane/Raleigh tacomajsc Wheeler I have added 3in add-a-leafs and it rides real rough. The twos will not be as bad. I have had people tell me not to go with the blocks. I guess they have problems out fourwheeling. I don't take mine off road to much but still staying with the add-a-leaves. I can get a standard inspection sticker the way it sets. So much easier then getting the lift sticker.

Anything more than 3" blocks will require some sort of traction/ladder bars to keep the axle wrap in check.

The check over your truck more then a standard inspection. The lift sticker cost more also, i am not sure on the price. My signature has been removed.
