Default Toytec 1.5" rear spacer

1 1/2" lift rear block kit

$79.99
+ $12 S/H
Included in kit:
  • 1 1/2" lift block kit works with add-a-leafs and/or shackles for an additional 1 1/2" of rear lift.
  • Solid T6 Aluminum block with pressed in steel pin
  • includes new u bolts, and two blocks
  • Fits all Tundra & 95.5 - 07 Tacoma


I dont quite get this. Does it mean I have to have some add-a-leafs or shackles to make this work? I want to get a little rake, and am adding the truxx 3" up front.

I don't think so, but I wouldn't go more than an inch without longer shocks.

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), just swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5."

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."

Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.

After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.

Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.

Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.

Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.

Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.

I definitely dont want to put in longer shocks. I have seen the lift installed on a lot of these trucks and it looks like it still has about 1/2" rake, so hopefully it will be everything I want it to be.

The longer shocks do not affect the ride height. They do keep the rear wheels on the ground during bumps or brakng. If you lift the back without installing longer shocks, you risk the rear end getting light and coming around on you. If you go with more than a one inch block in back, it's worth a few extra bucks to add the longer shocks.
