What is the purpose of your lift?

Lifting to give it more of an off road trail ride look

I know that there is a ton of reading but it will answer your questions.

Coils will always be the best way to lift a rig. Other less costly ways will have compromises. You do get what you pay for.

I found some coil spacers that would add 2.5 inches of lift by all pro lifts. Anyone have pros or cons to this

The spacers basically compress the coils forcing the ride height up. This will make the ride rougher and cause the coils to eventually sag. It takes a while to notice any major sag. I wouldn't recommend spacers for a long term lift. If you're going for looks, I'd recommend a slight body lift. You won't gain ground clearance, but you'll be able to fit bigger tires and it won't effect the ride of the runner. I am considering a spacer lift because I'm strapped for cash. I'm wondering if a spacer lift can be installed with shocks that aren't the greatest. And also if wheel spacers are required, and what size is safe without a differential drop. If you're considering a spacer lift, then me posting on this thread might answer all of our questions. Congrats on the Runner and welcome to the forum!
