re: Would a 1/4" top spacer change my ride?

I might switch to an 18" from my 20". 20" tires are damn expensive.
Saved on cost per tired and weight per corner by making the switch. Also, got a softer ride. I'm happy with my decision. I looked for 18"s but there were not many options for the 4runner that I liked.

Basically compresses the coil and the coil pushes back, so you get the height of the spacer and the height of the compressed coil pushing back (I think).
It's just science. Same thing as getting 1" bigger tire only nets 1/2" clearance
I thought you were an engineer?

Upper control arm is shorter than the lower control arm. So when increase the space between the two, the amount you increase does not raise the vehicle by a 1:1 ratio but usually 2 to sometimes 2.5 to 3x.
Ohhh duh. I get it. I guess I was stuck on solid axle thinking

You got some proper sliders...nice.
Gotta debadge that thing. Does Limited actually mean Unlimited? Dental floss in a sawing motion...roll the existing tacky shite off with your finger...

If you felt the difference in the ride quality between a 17" wheel and a 20" wheel you will probably be able to feel the difference with the added spacer.

Nice TRD's, much improved look vs 20's

I would leave it the way it is brah. You ever tow anything ?

Best tire on the market. A spacer that small will not affect your ride quality and most likely will not affect fuel mileage either

Leave it as is. Once you start lifting, you start moving the front wheel base. They you need to start putting shims to off set them. You are opening a can of worms that can go deep into your pockets. 
Now the ride my daughter has, I would love to really see what it can do.
