    They have good reviews on Amazon and spacer lifts are usually bashed on this site. I've had a spacer lift on my truck for about a year now (I think it's been about a year...) and it's been fine. If you're not hard off-road wheeling they will serve you fine.

    HOWEVER, I think 3" is too much lift for the Tacoma without changing upper control arms, etc. I went 2 1/2" on mine and my coil hits my UCA on full droop on the passenger side. I installed limit straps which took care of this problem but be aware of it.
    Also, going three inches will most likely produce the front axle vibration that necessitates the change of the front needle bearing to the ECGS bushing.

    In short, I think the kit is fine but 3" is too much. It's $40 on Amazon, if you want to lift it for cheap, buy the spacer that gives you 2" of lift (1" spacer).

    Others will be along shortly to tell you spacer lifts are crap.

    Your mileage may vary!!!

    From what most say here, that should be a good choice for you.
