    All depends on what you like and how you use your truck. Nice and level for me.

Plasti-dipped upper fenders and emblems. satin black spray paint here and there inside and out. 5100's set to 1.75" up front . C channel front bumper. Maxxis bighorn 255/85/16
    I like the back 1/2"-1" high, no bro lean and rides level with a trailer or load. If u never pull or haul anything get id err towards the 1/2" rear high or level.

    Things I need to tow.
    Level when loaded, including cargo and tongue weight. Otherwise, level enough that I don't have to readjust the headlights.

    The stock leafs on the Tacoma are "soft". Once you start loading the bed it starts squatting fast. I like 1-1/2" at least. That way my head lights aren't lighting the sky instead of the road. The payload on our truck is about 1,300 lbs.
    And that is not hard to exceed.

    How do you know what's "level"? Is there a place to put a level or simply measuring certain points of the vehicle?

    1-1.5". its a pickup, it should be raked. leveled trucks look funny to me. I actually use my truck as a truck, so i need the rear higher.
