Dilemma: Leveling Kit Help

Here's the situation, I just had 265/75r16 Cooper AT3's mounted on my '03 Prerunner and they rub. After spending the money I don't want my tires being damaged so I want to level the front of my truck. I am a broke college kid and really wish I didn't have to spend any more but think I have decided to put a Hell Bent Steel, 2 inch leveling kit on it.

The price can't be beat and they seem to be great, American made, Quality.

My dilemma and question is: Should I purchase the 2 or 2.5 inch kit?

Well from that picture, your ass is gonna be sagging with either one of them.

If your tires aren't rubbing on anything substancial, like the fender flare or whatever, I'd just trim whatever it is and call it good.

 

^^ What he said.

You dont have much rake as it is... 2 and especially 2.5 would give you some pretty good bro lean.

 

or lift the rear as well.

 

Here was my truck before my lift...



Then with 2.5" in the front only (5100's):



Then adding 2" AAL in the rear as you see in my sig.

 

Hmmm I really don't want the lean. Any suggestions other than trimming, I'm not totally comfortable cutting up my baby

 

Like Biscuit said, you can lift both front and rear... The 2" front you list and a 1.5" AAL (cheap) in back should leave you sitting nice. Will look nice with those tires. I will be upgrading to that size once mine wear out.

 

Prerunner - Not to hijack your thread but what kind of wheels are those, they look good. What size are they and are you running spacers on the front or rear?

 

No worries, They are Raceline 16x8 wheels with no backspacers. I love them, they come in black too.

 

Thanks much. They fill in those fenderwells nicely.
