Hey I have a 2001 tacoma d-cab. I just finished putting on a fabtech 6 inch lift and put the 3 inch revteck spacers as well but now my new spindles are hitting the front strut coils. I don't get how to adjust them to not hit anymore. any help would be appreciated.

first off why did u stack lifts? and 2nd of all we need pictures, well i need them, to better help. my first thought would be to take the spacers out...why could u possibly need 9" of lift on an IFS taco.

i have about 10"-11" on my Taco and run 38.5" TSL, and it is not a mall crawler

Sounds like a mall crawler with such a big ifs lift. Ditch that shit and do a sas and get it over with.
So other than that take off the revtec spacer and just run the fabtec lift. I dont think there coil overs were ment to have aspacer stacked on them.

hmmm...stock on left, fabtech strut on right. your truck is going to ride like shit with a spacer wedged in there, even if you do figure out your initial problem. :shaking:

max lift with IFS is not the best for wheelin. you want wheel travel, not lack thereof.

why would u ever want that on an ifs truck....that would be tippy as hell and u cant wheel it that hard because the CVs would break and im suprised they would even engage and work on a 38" tire without breaking let alone be used off road.

cause it is not that "tippy" and does well off road, i know it will not work as well as a SAS but it is not a hammers truck. it will do the Rubicon with no problem, it is locked front and rear.

Are they hitting when you flex? Or all the time?

i have a marlin 3" Betts spring with 4.5" shackles in the rear. up front it is a mix of TrailMaster 6" kit and All-Pro coils.

the only place that rubs is the corner of the plastic valance in the front
