jeep guy needs some TACO help!!!

i am helping a friend choose a lift and i know how helpfull the forums can be so here goes:

do you need to replace the rear shocks on a 2wd 2002 tacoma when instaling 3" lift blocks???

and any recomendations for a spacer/block lift kit for the truck. i was going to go cheaper the better because it is just spacers and blocks.

thanks

matt

Blocks are gay. I'd rather have add a leaves any day rather than blocks. Don't like that little block holding that much weight and sometimes they give to much axle wrap

I know downey has a 2.5" lift shackle. It takes 2' of shackle to get 1" of lift. I'd go a little smaller in the back to level the truck and not have it higher in the rear
