    Hey again!
    I am thinking about getting a leveling kit for my 2013 Tacoma 2.7l and I have the factory powertrain warranty and extended warranty. My main concerns to getting the leveling kit is that I don't want to void any warranty's I have.

    The link here is the ProComp 3" leveling kit I am looking to buy what do you guys think about it? It does mention all kits do put wear and tear on the cv boots and axels.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2013-T...prg=20131017132637&rk=3&rkt=4&sd=321044893181

    Is there any better leveling kits like this?

    Thanks for all input or opinions!!!

    I think most will tell you to go with bilstien adjustables for leveling v.s. doing a coil spacer kit. The adjustables should not void anything

    I appreciate the input! Do you guys have any links for the Bilstien adjustable? Is that a leveling kit or a lift kit>? Trying to go the leveling kit way since Im not looking to throw on huge rims and tires.

    Thanks !

    Its a adjustable strut. Coil spacers like to fail. There are tons of places to order them

    I just got my blistien shocks in front and rear. Anyone have any pics of the truck with 2.5" in front and 1.5" in rear? Im pretty sure the rear shock I got with the front ones that were on the order page said that I could adjust the rear shocks anywhere from 0-1.5". If I had 2.5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear would the truck look level or still bow down?

    This was mine at 1.75. It looks like its bro-leaning, but its actually sitting on an incline. It sat perfectly level. [​IMG]

    OP, do you have the Pre-Runner or the 2wd Base 4cyl? I have the Base 2.7L and don't like how low it sits. Please post pics of yours!

    I'm putting in my .02 here, THE REAR bilstein 5100s Are Not adjustable and do not provide lift, they Accommodate for up to 1.5" lift. That means you must achieve lift in the rear by an add-a-leaf or a new leaf pack. I'll post up some links if you want, but the best add-a-leafs(AALs) to get are "progressive" or multi pack AALs. Wheelers offroad has the best price on some as far as I know, check them out

    The previous owner slapped that sticker on there. But given that I put bilsteins all around and AT tires, it might've well have been an offroad package

    Same specs as you. Access cab, base, 4x4.
    I put the 5100s on last year. Leveled out great. Affordable too.

    OP , I put my front 5100s a the .8" spot and pulled the sway bar. The back isn't much higher than the front at this point. Just a thought.

    Body roll is a bit more pronounced, but still does fine overall.

    p.s. crap, read a few more middle posts and didn't see you have em.
