    So I went to have my 2011 Pre runner lifted/leveled. 2 1/2 kit in the front but now the rear looks odd. I really thought they would level it out. What should I get to level the rear. Do they make 1 1/2 blocks to fit under the rear springs. I'm very greatful to suggestions. David.

    Aftermarket rear leaf pack should do the trick.

    Level kit typically only lifts the front. That's how it should be. I recommend ripping that garbage out and get some 5100s all around.

    Does the 2011 fall under the AAL TSB? I've read people use those to level with a front lift.

    If you are just leveling for looks, redo the front correctly.

    Tons of threads around here with multiple ways and products to pick from.

    5100s all around still isn't going to lift the rear. You will need to add a rear block (cheapest), add-a-leaf, or complete new leaf pack (most expensive).

    Check out the sticky in the suspension section... TONS of good info on lifting Tacomas!

    Since he's 2WD he could go spindles..with a leaf pack in the rear. Not sure what his budget is

    He could use spindles for the front. But it sounds like OP is asking what he can do to lift the rear... Seeing as how he just had the front lift installed.

    My preference would be 1) new pack 2) AAL 3) block

    But I tow a boat and run a camper shell... So I went with Dakars.

    Yup, that would lift your rear 1.5"...
