suspension lift
I have a 93 toyota pickup 3.0 auto. I just put on a 3" body lift but I was also wanting to do a small suspension lift. I have read about ball joint spacers and rear add a leafs but I was wondering what you guys thought would be the best way to achieve this. I use this truck mainly as a daily driver but I also do some off roading in it as well. Thanks for the help

Personally, I'd do a body lift waaaaaaaaaay before I'd crank the tbars. That kills the ride quality and flex, and increases wear on the CV's.
If you already have the 3" BL go ahead and do the spacers and you should clear 33x12.50's pretty easily.
Plus if you ever decide to go big all you'll need is a 4" bracket lift.
PS. I run 36x13.50 and have no problems at all. But I also don't run rocks.

To address your questions of where to purchase, go to www.sdori.com and vendors are listed there. We sell just spacers but the vendors bundle them into kits so you get it all at one place.

When I bought mine TRDParts4U was the cheapest so I ordered from them.
If I had to do it all over again though I'd spend the extra $10 and get them from 4Crawler just to give a little back. I've learned so much from him over the last year or so I wouldn't even know where to start.
