i was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the all pro offroad 1 inch leveling kit for the tacoma. they offer a 1 inch poly urethane kit and a 2 inch unpainted steel kit.

i think the 1 inch kit would be more ideal. it installs above the coil pack and shouldn't pre-load the spring and should maintain factory ride quality (or so i've heard).

does anyone know if this type of lift would lead to unwanted alignment issues? or cause alignment problems in even the smallest amount?

and i know 1 inch of lift isn't going to drastically affect my cv angles, but would the extra inch of lift eventually lead to premature tearing and cracking of the cv boots? all pro also offers a diff drop kit and it's pretty inexpensive. would it even be worth it? i have the ADD setup, so my front axle and cvs are always turning. if i had manual hubs, then i wouldn't bother asking this dumb question

i'm well aware there are lots of pros and cons to lifting or making any offroad modifications. i only plan on doing mild wheeling and my taco will generally be more of a daily driver than an offroad warrior. so i'd like to keep it comfy and riding smooth and i only want to worry about aligning my truck when it's SUPPOSED to be aligned from everyday wear and tear on the road. the main reason for lifting it at all is just to give it a little character and to level out the front end with the rear. maybe even lift the front a smudge higher than the rear.


also, i'm going to need new shocks. i've got 114,000 miles on my taco with the original shocks. i'm pretty sure with the 1 inch spacers from all pro, you can keep the stock/stock size shocks. can anyone confirm this? and does anyone have any recommendations for shocks for a daily driver/mild wheeler? i'd like to get something beefer than stock to handle the bumps, potholes, and terrain of trail riding, but still offer a smooth and practical ride on the road.

thanks to everyone in advance!

I have a cornfed kit that is tried and proven for the Taco. Feel free to let me know if you want more info, shoot an email from sig.

hmm how are the cornfed spacers compared to the all pro kit? does anyone have any experience with the all pro kit?

i did a search, but the results were minimal.

thanks!

i went with cornfed because i have heard so many good things about it, i would suggest you just use cornfed too, the polyurithane (sp?) can sag over time from what i have read, im not sure about all pro though.

i'm actually selling my taco now, but i'm still interested in finding some information on the all pro spacers because they are only like 60 bucks for a pair!!
