    6 inch Rough Country lift on 33s
    I’m kinda new to the truck game and I have an 04 tacoma with a 6 inch rough country lift on 33s. I was hoping to put a 2 inch rough country spacers on top of the lift. With my understanding I know that I have to make some suspension adjustments to make it as safe as possible. Unsure of what I need to do any help? Thx

    I could be wrong but stacking another spacer on top of the rough country spacer that is already in there seems very unsafe as far as the front goes. In the rear you would need to get a new block that is larger along with u bolts to fit it. It would be even worse imo to stack blocks in the rear. If you got a shock like this and swapped your springs over I believe you could put a spacer on top.

    You can install a 0-3” adjustable coilover (Fox, King, Icon, Radflo) while still retaining the 5” RC spacer, or even better, have a longer length coilover custom made by said company’s eliminating the spacer all together. I’ve done this on my FJ with a RC 6” lift using Radflo shocks. I plan on doing this to my 1st Gen Tacoma also as I have a drop bracket lift also...no more huge spacers

    Would the shocks that the guy recommended above in the link work?
