    The guy I bought the truck from said he put a 3" Pro Comp lift on it. The front and rear shocks say Pro Comp on them, but the truck still has a nose down look to it and doesn't really look lifted to me. Is there a leveling kit any of you would suggest adding to it? I assume that my only options are a coil or strut spacer. A new set of leveling coilovers would just put the truck right back where it's at right(if it really does already have a 3" lift)? Would be a lot easier to choose if I new what was already on it! If you guys need pictures of anything in order to help me out just let me know. I've already got 285/65r18 tires on 18x10 wheels on the way. So I need to get this suspension taken care of asap!

    Hope you didn't buy just shocks and were under the impression that it was a complete lift kit.

    No. This is how the truck was when I bought it two weeks ago. Previous owner said it was a 3" lift. But it doesn't look like a 3" lift to me.

    Doesn't look like the rear is lifted and I'm not familiar with procomp so I can't say much for the front, if you want to lift the front just get some bilstein 5100s that will help with the front if you want a couple inches

    Simple OME/884/AAL lift. 32” WP’s
    Judging from your UCA relative to the spring I'd say there's some kind of lift. Measure center of hub to the fender. Should be about 23.25 inches for a 3" lift. A stock double cab is in the 20-21" range.

    That looks about 2-2.5" lift if those are 31's.

    To be honest I'm not sure what they're supposed to look like. Before this truck I wasn't used to dealing with ifs. This is my first taco. And I'm no mechanic.

    Feels decent. Sways a little when it hits bumps but I think that's the tires. Drives pretty straight when you let go of the wheel but gradually pulls to the left after a while. Rides like a dream compared to the 1996 F250 I just got rid of with leaf springs on all four corners!
