Anyone here in the NW GA area good with lift kits??

By spacer kit I assume a poly spacer goes between coil spring and spring seat?
If so, why were you removing your steering knuckle?

Billet spacer, yes, to get the strut out.

Gotcha. I was thinking spring compressor at full droop and slipping the spacer in.

Why not just go ahead and replace your UCA's as well?

So I ordered a 2" spacer leveling kit for my 05 Tacoma and went to install it. It's pretty straight forward and I'm pretty mechanically inclined, or at least I thought I was. Long story short, I rounded off the castle nut on the upper ball joint and can't get the ***** off! If anyone has better knowledge then myself and would like to help I would gladly pay.

Either way I'm probably just gonna pay a shop to get it off for me........

did you take the weight off the wheel...or did you do it while jacked up...i already know..anyway get another ball joint or a dremmel make light and slight cuts..otherwise blue tip wrench will be needed. set the wheel hub on a block of wood while removing it to take the weight of the joint..it should come right off mm socket smaller or dremel cut it flat again and rewrench it
