Hi guys I'm new to this Fourm, and I just got my 08 Tacoma! I bought a new lift kit and I kinda like what are you opinions on it? Thanks.

Be careful... a few of us have seen people snap shocks ONROAD, while driving normally and hitting small imperfections in the road because of spacer lifts.

So quick question, since I have a spacer lift and if I wanna get a ARB bumper, will it still sag? Because I remember on a previous thread you told me that it shouldn't sag since it's a spindle lift? I have the lift kit at my house and it looks like it made of good quality material. It's all metal and looks solid. I'll post pics later if you want to see.

I'm sure the spacers are solid, but I think the concern is that spacer lifts tend to put added stress to other parts of the suspension. I know plenty of people run spacers without issues though...

Neither will sag on its own..... but yes, a bumper on either will sag.

Sorry i must have misread (i was awake for 20hrs roughly). I thought u were worried about the spindle lift sagging on its own. Sometimes coils arent scragged right and will settle alot, but spindles wont, and neither should spacers until u put extra weight on. Then yes, they will bith sag because u are not using stronger coils.

I don't know the difference till now honestly. The only reason I got it was that friend got it on his tundra and said it was good. Funny thing his front shock actually snapped in half as you said, but that was only because he took it on a jump lol.
 
Have any small friends
