ok... i read all the thread about the front of the truck with ball joint spacers... but what about the back since it is not independent suspension and has no upper or lower arms (or does ity and im wrong, its happened before) how doe that work?? or what do you do to the back to compensate for the front??

Since you've got a runner, you can add coil spacers to the rear. Those of us with trucks need either new springs, longer shackles, or lift blocks.

you could put a ball joint spacer on a taco, but it would lower it, so it looks like drop bracket, coil over/spacers, and leaf springs are the only way to lift a taco/3rd gen

So does the ball joint attach to the top of the UCA on a taco? I'd still like to see some pictures or maybe I'll go to the Toyota dealer and look at one.

the load carrying ball joint is attached to the lower control arm, so if you put a spacer in there it would lower the truck, theres not really a way to do it

I definitely appreciate all of your help. We moved out of one place a few weeks and and are moving this weekend into the new place. Also, I'm wrapping up a summer class. On the upside, I expect to have more time in the near future for little things like improving the website and putting out more products.

I'd have been online more but where the woman and I have been staying for the last few weeks has a dial up slowdem making the internet pretty slow and frustrating. As of Monday we'll be back on broadband.

Not yet. I've been meaning to take pics, but I have to borrow my girlfriends digicam. I'll try and remember to borrow it on Sunday.
