2" spacers

[2000runr]

Im looking into 2" front spacers from toy tec, not going to replace entire suspension as I just replaced struts 8 months ago. Anyone done this mod, and if so do you think a 1" spacer is necessary for the rear to prevent the truck from looking too "baja'ed" out?

why do you only want to lift the front? You will definitely need spacers for the rear as well.

its not that i only want to lift the front. the shop suggested i start with the front and then go from there. on toytec's website they dont even list a spacer for the rear.

personally i say just put the 99 springs on. You can use it w/ the struts you all ready have. I doubt the spacers will keep you happy for too long anyway, chances are the springs are all ready sagged some, and the spacers will usually accelerate the process.

If you are stuck on a spacer lift, then i would for sure lift it both front and rear, i would almost do more in the back than in the front, that way it will level out when you have anything loaded in the rear. If it helps, there are pics of my 2000 before and after the springs on link in my sig, there is also a link to a doc, that has several peoples measurements that may help determine how tall you want to go.

Great suggestion and look on your runner. The same shop also told me that a completely new intake system by AEM would give me the sound Im looking for plus an improvement in MPG. opinion

I've heard some people on the site w/ claims of gained MPG on the intakes. personally my intake is 100% stock, and the most i will probably ever do is a pipe between the stock air box and the throttle body to help out the flow a bit. If you are just after sound, then go for it, but if you are expecting more than that i don't know if the money would be worth it. Just my opinion though.

I've got an AEM on order, autoanything.com is still willing to do their sale prices from a couple days ago, so for a couple hundred Im willing to give it a shot. The local Toyota dealership, manufacturer and a couple others I know say the mpg is a slight improvement and the noise will be sweet. The fact that the AEM is a dry filter as opposed to K&N's is a cool feature too... now i just have to decide on the lift...new springs, spacers, choices choices.
