Revtek makes a really nice kit, the only concern is going to be the weight of that ARB on the front. It will probably be alright on the stock coils for a little while, however, they will sag fairly quick. But I really do believe that RevTek makes a fantastic spacer!! From what I heard so does Cornfed, however, to get them you need to get a hold of him...good luck

Here is my rig when I had the revtek on

Here it is now :^)

If you just want a cheap way to lift the front go with spacers made by cornbred. I think they are around $150. They will give you 2.5" of lift in the front.

Or the 3" Revtek kit for a Tacoma will lift the front and rear costs about $460.00 here.

The 3" Revtek Lift Kit contains:

1 Pair Coil Spacers to lift the front.
1 Pair Blocks with U-Bolts to lift the rear.
1 Pair of Rancho Rear Shocks for lifted applications.

You use your stock front shocks with coil spacers to raise the front 3" and the blocks and Rancho shocks for the rear. It is a complete kit ... one stop shopping

Check with Mike at XtremeOff-Road on this one too, he is a Revtek Dealer.

This truck has a Revtek kit on it:

They do fail to mention that there is one hell of a body lift on that Tacoma....nice marketing though...a little deceiving....

Yes, now that you mention it, there is a lot of frame exposed there. I never really thought about it before :confused:

LOL yes it is great marketing...your eyes see this Tacoma and wants to think that yours will look that way too....you buy the kit, put it on, only to finally figure out that you need new wheels, tires, and a body lift.:pat:

I am sure they are both not without their faults, just like the bushing issue we are having...although small, a little aggravating.

Cobb from the looks of it you may be correct, they do look like a PITA to crank. Granted they are shipped at a predetermined height, however, I am sure adjustment will be necessary.
