Lift questions

Looking to get a little more lift out of my 96 toyota tacoma. My current set up is a 3" revtek lift in the front with 3" blocks in the rear or whatever heighth the rear block is. Anyway I wanted to try and get a little more lift out of the front of my truck because it still sits a hair shorter than the rear. I was wondering if I could actually put a toytech 1/2" spacer

(http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.php...mart&Itemid=72

on top of my revtek coil spacers and achieve maybe another 1/2" of lift up front. Ive already redone all the suspension in the front and rear so I do have new shocks (unfortunately not bilsteins otherwise I wouldn't be posting this) and coils up front and new springs in the rear, and I'm still not satisfied with the trucks stance. Anyway I've seen one of the post before i just couldn't remember what the consequences of adding extra spacers were if any, and I couldnt find those older posts. Not interested in a 4" or 6" lift, all my extra money is being saved for an SAS kit and a solid axle. This is just temporary so lets just stick to the subject at hand, any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

It's a bad idea....it will cause to much droop if its a top plate spacer. Bad news for ball joints and cv joints! You may be able to pull it off if you run limiting straps with that setup.I would just deal with the rake untill you go SAS.

Im new in here, so pardon the dumb question...I have a 3" revtek in front and I assumed when I pain $750 parts and installation that it was paying for something in rear as well. However my back end still appears to be sagging. Obviously I will be doing this myself after paying that.

What is best to put on rear to "level" my rig?

Thanks for help
