I measured today on my pro4, and there seems to be around 1” difference front to rear. Maybe 1.25. Will the 1.5” spacers be fine? I don’t want to add them and have the front higher than the rear
The geometry of the front suspension almost doubles whatever thickness the spacer is so for a 1" lift you need either 1/2" to 5/8" spacer. I modified a cheap Toyota spacer in my Pro and got it leveled with no issues. Mine was closer to 1 !/4" difference front to rear stock.
This is the kit I used, but unlike the pic, it comes with bolt extensions (10mm I think) to add to factory bolts. The only mod needed was on the urethane the Tacoma bolt spacing is symmetrical and ours isn't so you just punch another hole beside one of the bolt slots. Easy peasy. What can I say, I'm cheap. Lmao.

Yep, my p4x measures 1.25" higher in back. If you do 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear it will only be .75" higher in back. (or 2" fron, 1.5" rear).
I would keep it a little higher in the back to compensate for any light loads in the bed.
Actually the ratio of spacer size to lift amount in the front is closer to 1.75:1
Just wanting to level out the truck. I’d love to lift it 3+” but don’t have the cash to do that or go bigger tires. So for what I’ll do, stock height is fine. Just want it level
The 1.5" PRG spacer is a good option. Do it.
You don't run into coil bucket contact issues.
Forget if you are PRO4x. but won't run into shock crush issues with stock bump stop. = MAx travel
You don't need extended top hat studs. Just pull the shock assembly out, bolt on the spacer and bolt the shock back into the truck.
The PRG "1.5" spacer lifts ~1.5" it is about 3/4" thick.
You should still get cam bolts. Adjusted per instructions in the sticky. Then take it to an alignment shop post lift.
Billet 1.5" lift spacers for all 2005+ Frontier and Xterra models. Easy to install, does not require taller bumpstops like our other spacer kits. These kits are especially good on the Pro4x models as there is much less alignment or noise potential issues as well as a stock ride vs taller spacer...

How the heck did you read that? Read my first sentence again.
If you are questioning if the 1.25 of your measured height difference and the 1.5 of said lift, is going to make an unleveled truck; it does not work out that perfectly numbers wise.
Hard to be perfectly level. Tire to top of fender arch measurment level is not always the same as bubble level on the truck bed rail level. Parking on a slightly pitched surface can easily change your measurement half an inch. Full tank of gas. Fat passenger. Condition of front and rear springs. All can have an effect on "level".
A 1.5 " lift spacer, that measures only about 0.75" is your best bet at level.
Don’t have s condition , Bill!
The only way to level the truck is adjustable coil overs. Other than that, you are just guessing.
Your suggestion may be the best bet for the cost but no guarantee.

My local shop wont install this, the reason : They dont understand how Im putting longer springs on my factory struts... They're telling me the struts wont be long enough to work with these springs?

That's an odd one to hear. We install these without issue on stock struts and Bilstein 5100's. I'm sure they've installed Old Man Emu coils on Bilstein 5100 struts for a Tacoma or 4Runner. Same concept.
The free length difference between the stock spring and ours is less than an inch. I'd recommend calling around. Otherwise, we can pre-assemble on 5100's and ship as loaded struts.

Find a better shop that knows how to work on aftermarket suspension and knows what they're doing.
Some shops knowledge level doesn't go beyond OEM. Not saying that's a bad thing, but that type of shop is not what you need for this. You need a shop that deals outside OEM.
Check this for more info about camber bolts (yes, IMO you should always get them if your truck doesn't have them):

Does anyone know where to find the 7/8" mismatch washers and knuckle mounting bolt for PRG UCAs FK Bearings? I've scoured the PRG website and can't find these bolts anywhere. I've just started rebuilding my swap and the only thing holding me up from finishing the driver side and moving onto the...
I am running OME LD coils on adjustable Bils. Ever since I changed the setting on the Bils to the bottom ("stock height") notch, I have been satisfied with the ride quality. It is a bit stiffer than stock, but not harsh, and the rebound is a little fast, but I don't have the extra bounce that I...
I've had my truck for a year, and it always had a slight creak to it, but it's progressed to the point where it's unbearable. I get a lot of undesired head-turning from little bumps in the road.
I have tackled every bushing with silicone lubricant to locate the problem. I have taken off my...
Hello everyone I am new to the club I have a 2010 frontier LE 4x4. I was reading through an old thread here (2007) that says you can swap Titan struts in a frontier. Now I went and bought a set of 5100 out off an 06ish Titan from my local lkq. My question is. Can I get the bottom spring plate...
