Don't use spacers. Rancho makes a 1 1/2" coil and
strut. It is stronger and gives a better ride. It sells
for about $250. Use a add a leaf for the rear if
needed. This is what I did and I'm very happy. Good luck

I have noticed that my rear end is very stiff and
has trouble geting traction even when going up a hill
on some lite bumpy pavement. I was also thinking
about lifting my 2000 Tacoma V6. if I add a leaf in the
rear won't it make it stiffer. what should I do? Do
you have this problem? thanks Ryan

yes, AALs will stiffen the rear end more...
<br><br>You can go with longer shackles, this will keep your
current ride but still offer 1.5-2" of added lift...
However, a longer shackle will require a tailpipe
mod...<br><br>New England TTORA<br><a href=http://ttora-ne.mainpage.net

So I should run the rancho springs in the front
that will lift it about 2", and put a shackle in the
rear. what about blocks in the rear? which ones are
better?..... oh yea, do they sell just the rancho springs or
do you have to buy a kit? because I have bilstine
shocks right now and I am very happy with them. what
about traction is there some kind of traction bars or
somthing that would help keep my ass end on the trail? or
could I remove a leaf and then use a taller shackle or
add a block to make up for it. I don't know. sorry, I
kind of drilled you with questions this time. Ryan

As far as I know, the Rancho is a full
kit...<br>You could always check <a href=http://www.ttora.com

if anyone is selling Rancho Coils...<br><br>Stay
away from blocks, they will break on the
trail...<br><br>Unless you are blasting through the woods at 50MPH
traction bars are pointless...<br><br>Check out Mark's

I WANTED TO PUT SOME 32 X 11.50 15 TIRES ON MY
TRUCK. IS THE RANCHO KIT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CLEAR THEM?
BECAUSE I READ THAT IT ONLY LIFTS YOUR TRUCK 1.5". HOW IS
THE RANCHO KIT ARE THE SPRINGS REALLY STIFF BECAUSE I
WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL BE SUPER PLUSH. THIS IS FOR
MY 2000 TOYOTA TACOMA V6 4X4. THANKS RYAN

Each truck in a little different, but 32s should fit fine with the Rancho kit.
If you have a after market rim watch the offset. I have the coils on my '00
Tacoma and the ride is great.

What kind of tires are you running. because the
ones that I am going to get are probably going to hang
out an inch or so. can you notice there is a
difference in lift? Ryan
