    I am new to lift kits and really dont know what I am looking for. I dont go mudding or hit the trails very often and when I do it is nothing extreme. I am just looking to level out my front and at the same time be able to run 285/75/r16. Is it possible with this lift and is this lift any good. Any help will be great.

    It's a spacer lift. Not well thought of around here.

    I am not looking to drop a whole bunch of money into this simply because I dont go offroading hardly any (and i realize that when dealing with lifts there is no such thing as cheap). I just want something to make the truck level and be able to run a size bigger tire.

    The adjustable struts in the front do look nicer. Will shackles do anything in the rear if you dont use a AAL. Thanks for the help JLee.

    Tacomaboss and Vacountryboy. I was just looking at the 3 inch lift in the front and 1 inch lift in the rear lift kit because I want the front level with the rear. But anyways what ratio front to back should I go with. Thank yall for the help.

    3 in the front and 1 in the rear might leave you a tad nose high.

    I went with 3 in the front 2 in the rear and that leveled me out

    3 in front and 1 in back would leave your nose high. 3 in front and 2 in back would be probably level.
