    Ok so forgive my ignorance since im still learning alot about trucks, but is it possible to put a lift on your tacoma if it has a front leveling kit on it already. I want to maybe do a 2" or 3".

    Nope. Maybe a body lift, but you cant stack suspension lifts.

    The only time I've heard of stacked lifts was people with 6" dropped brackets stacking that with spacers.

    So is it possible to remove the leveling kit and lift it more in the front, say 4 inches, then 3 inches in the back to level it out again?

    3" is about the most you can lift, unless you get a drop bracket lift.

    I meant you could add a body lift. Stacking body lifts is a horrible idea.

    Look at the specs on most lifts. Generally speaking. The lift will level your truck out. So you wont have to worry about your truck not being level after the lift.
