I want to level out the front of my 02 tacoma, and lift it a little too, and have the back even with the front. I was thinking this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DYS-KT09102BK/

It wouldn't affect ride quality too much would it? Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated

If leveling the truck out is your only plan, and you dont plan on trying to flex out the front too much, then that would be a good way to get a little lift out of it. The problem with spacer lifts like those is that they limit up travel in the front end, and also achieve the lift by over loading the coil spring. We put a similar lift from toytec on my brother's truck, and within a few days he wanted to take it off. I'd reccomend rancho quick lift front struts and a 2 inch shackle. That lifted and leveled out my bro's tacoma. Email him if you want. He's 98_3RZ on here.

Any type of lift that pre loads the front sprigs will destroy ride quality.

funny, my friends truck is running toytec spacers and an overload spring, and he said it rides smoother than when he just had his fabtech 6

I don't know why anyone would want to add onto an already off road inhibiting 6" lift on a Toyota, but I think he must have just needed to convince himself that it rides smoother to justify lifting it more or something. When you preload a coil with a spacer, it squashes the spring. A squashed spring is stiffer than an un-squashed spring because it has more tension on it. Every inch you compress a coil, the harder it is to compress it the next inch which means it gets stiffer and that = worse ride quality.
