Does anybody know if installing these spacers has any effect on the alignment; my truck is perfectly aligned at the moment.

Any time you so work on your suspension it is always a good idea to take it somewhere to do an alignment afterwords.

Shouldn't cause an issue but when doing ANY suspension work it's wise and safe to visit an alignment shop post installation.

Yes, you will need an alignment, and you will need to re-adjust your headlights. Also, in my case anyway, your highway driving will feel drifty, and your gas mileage will suffer. But, it looks great, and I'd do it again ! It seems there is ALWAYS a trade-off anytime you do something to your vehicle that was not designed at the factory.

Yes it does. I installed mine myself but had to have an alignment done. They gave me the specs for the alignment before and after and it showed it was needed after install.

It will not have any effect on your alignment. Installed on my truck and it drives prefect.

I use the smaller hitch size, so no need for spacers. But I think you're right--I only got one allen wrench and that's for the large bolts in assembly. Take it to a hardware store and have them fit you with the right size allen wrench. It's a pain in the butt, but you'll have one. Good luck.

When I installed mine, I aligned one side, screwed it in, then pressed/pushed the other side into place and screwed it on. They should flex to fit. Not the best pair I've ever had. The adhesive doesn't even work for it, but cheaper than the $300 pair.

Not normal, read instructions carefully. I had same problem. Using wrong ones, Don't Forget SPACER

Bolt holes will not perfectly match up. Not a big deal. Drill a new hole. These are made to bolt on with your backrest. I put a luggage trunk on it so I cut the backrest and used the threaded part as spacers. Worked well!!

The left one for my truck was 1/3 turn off the bolts on top are not the same spacing, fought for about 2 hours before I figured that out.Hope that helps

Yes an alignment is required. You change the suspension geometry with a leveling kit and it will change your wheel camber which will cause premature tire wear and negative handeling characteristics if not corrected. This is not a symptom some get and some don't, this is a mechanical change that must be corrected.

Are you using the spacers included? There are two sizes; one should make it work

I have a set on mine and like them better than OEM. They look good on the truck and do not stick out. Plus: objects are the distance they appear...

Yes they we fit. I have 195/55/20 tires on my truck had to put one spacers on front because of tie rub on wheel well. But if u are running stock rim& tires the two inch spacer will work on front. My truck looks great with spacers. Also installed two inch leveling kit in front also looks great.

Hello,If you have the 6 lug version of the Tacoma, they will bolt right on. I'd suggest a level kit for the lower offset.Thanks,-Jon

If I remember correctly the spacers go on the side of the frame. That should make the bolt holes line up.

Sounds more like the center bore of your wheels and hubs are different. You need hub centric ring spacers (based off how I'm interpreting what you're describing)

Hello, They will bolt right on for you. The offset is pretty high, so they will suck under the vehicle pretty similar to stock rims. Thanks, -Jon

You may need to adjust them when you install them.Please let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

I installed them on the front of my truck. I was really impressed by the quality and fit. I would check with a parts store or online and see if the part numbers are the same for front and rear. Good luck, ken
