I just bought this kit and have a question! The front strut extensions are 1.5 in total, is this right for "3in" in the front?

I don't know how, but yes. I had the same concern for my 05 tacoma but the results were great. Only problem I had was some knocking in the front end after installation. Turned out to be the front strut rubbing because of the angle that the lift out it on. I was forced to get new front struts. The new struts are slightly different than the original, and do not rub at all. No problems since and I'm very satisfied.

Yes. Cause that's a levelling kit too....it's look pretty nice on Tacoma specially put an adoptor to your tires...

That is correct when you add that to a strut you putting more pressure on the coil which is also lifting the truck.

The leveling block/spacer is for the front, correct? if you have the rear lifted about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in will level it. I would like to know what year of truck. The struts maxed out my front stock suspension height. It can't go any higher unless I put on after market upper and lower control arms. I have a 2001 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 2WD 4 door pickup.

Use the 745N2 from rough country it comes with all you need for a three inch lift. 2" blocks for the rear and level kit for the front. This guves your truck the perfect stans. Im am pleased with how my truck turned out..

there is a front & rear strut, the rears are 171662L & 171662R. fronts are 171661,you have to order two.

To be clear that is incorrect. I currently have 2 inches of lift on the front of my rig, I can provide tape measurements to prove it with stock coil springs and no spacers. Phase 2 of my lift to get to 3 inches, I will use a top plate spacer, which is entirely different and does not affect spring loads. When I add a heavier bumper, I will put heavier rated spring adding 1.5", and will lower my bils to the 1 inch and get my lift from the top plate, bils, and springs. So long story short THESE ABSOLUTELY PROVIDE LIFT ON THEIR OWN, just potentially not as much if your coil springs are worn out.

I have a fabtech body kit and suspension, the rods are larger than the normal size...I'm amusing it will only fit a fabtech suspension. ...Not 100% but it fit my perfect

The struts are the same. The item number tells u what side it goes on. When u look at them it really don't matter just make sure ur adjustable know is so u can get to it.

Yes, struts are for the front. As opposed to the shocks that are for the back.

I know it's a 2 3/4 front but you get just under a full 3 inches I gained 2 7/8 in the front. The down side of this kit once it's installed it puts a hell of a bind on the drivers side cv shaft mine ended up breaking the drivers side motor mount because the front differential is connected to the engine I went to menards and got a turn buckle and cranked the left side of the motor down everything works great now

You don't have to they make extensions for the OE shock if you want to be on the safe side , however I did switch to a 3" lift when I installed mine.

strongly recommended when replacing the front struts- not sure if its needed when replacing the rear

It's for front and back. They are fairly easy to install, and so far mine have been performing well for a year. I have no regrets for ditching those stupid air struts.

I'd put a picture up but they wont let me. I have a 2001 cherokee, installed them myself and it is definitely 3 1/2"

According to our system, this item does show to fit your vehicle application. This strut is for the front right.

The front looks just a bit taller. 2 inch is level. I did the 2.5 with a 1.5 rear lift also

Hi, and thanks for your interest in our kits. We have many different sized kits available. The most common kit we sell is the 3" front and 2" rear, which is because most of these are about 1" lower in the nose. I do have a 3" rear spacer if you're interested. I really appreciate your time, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The Flex is not ideal for headlights, but I use it at times, As for backing plates I have never looked for anything in 3 inch. I already have two DAs with 3 inch.
