With a 2-1/2" - 3" lift on a 2nd gen Taco most do not. I would take a look afterwards to verify that there's slack present.

Done that, works well.Brake Pump
Hose on bleeder screw, a inch or two of fluid in the jug, pump the pedal, watch for cessation of bubbles.
I think that one poster was talking about pushing from the master and blowing everything out at once.

Was talking about using a brake pump to properly bleed brakes by myself with no help. Brake pumps offer a quick easy bleeding for a one man job without having to jump in and out of the vehicle. They are cheap to rent and save a lot of time. I used to use the bucket method and pump the pedal but once you use a brake pump you'll never go back.

anyone have experience with these? My taco leans and it drives me crazy. i would like to remedy this when I install this lift.
can anyone tell me if one will be enough?
Are they stackable?
there a way to tell how many I would need prior to building the strut?
I'd like to avoid rebuilding the strut to insert another.

So how much lift does a properly tuned OME set up provide for a second gen Taco? I see 2 1/2 inches listed above, the ARB website says 2 in., and I read some old ARB literature that says 2.85 in.

Generally speaking, no trim spacer is needed for a side to side level stance. My recommendation is to install the suspension spec'd for your truck and needs and deal with any lean issues in 3-6 months after the suspension has settled in. Its an 1-1.5 hour job to add a spacer and in fact for 5mm spacer (nets ~1/4+ at the wheel) you could deal with a top out spacer that wouldn't require complete dis-assembly of the strut. That said I'd prefer the use of the OME intended 5mm spacer. Spacers should not be stacked but you can run a strut (preload) spacer in conjunction with a top-out spacer so long as you accommodate for the added down travel offered by use of the top out. 1st Gen Tacoma's are cheap and easy to install a diff drop kit thus I would recommend that particularly if using a top out spacer.
