Question about spacers...

[WickedGood06]

Hey guys, T4R newbie here...

I am thinking about putting spacers on when I get my new tires and I want to know if they affect ride comfort or steering at all?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome.
First, spacer do not change the steering.
Spacers are a great option if your stock spring and shock are in good condition. They are great to check out if you like the lifted look/feel. They are way less than replacing the entire coil over.
The ride might firm up a little bit, but realistically, when you raise the center of gravity of you vehicle, you want something that will keep your body roll to a minimum, which spacer , a firmer spring, etc will help that.

Are you wanting to level the 4runner or lift both front and back?

Here are some spacers we carry.

3inch

2.5 inch

2 inch

It's an 08 SR5 stock. I was going to add spacers before doing a lift, is that a bad idea?

What do you mean you want to add spacers before doing a lift. Spacers are your lift...
:shrug:

But spacers are not a bad idea!

Are you referring to Spidertrax wheel spacers? Like member J.A.'s?

For a lift there are (from least to most expensive): spacers, replacement (taller) coils, or adjustable coil-overs.

Yeah like J.A., I do not have a lift though...she is completely stock!

Does any of those spacers above be installed with my XREAS?

Spacer lifts, i.e. ToyTec, Daystar, Cornfed, etc., is the preferred way to go if you want to retain X-REAS.

It doesn't matter if you have X-REAS or not for wheel spacers.

Yap! Only if you need to replace the shocks, does the xreas need to go.
