SR5 2x4 leveling kit or 3in lift kit?

Top pic w/new tires. Bottom with factory rugged terrains.

 

Wow you did two inches in the front and it ended up level? Or at least it looks level.

 

I like the way it looks just like it is. Unless you're rubbing with the bigger tires, why not leave it level? Unless the picture is deceiving, did you measure font and back?

 

@PapaRee @Kloy truck is close to level but not quite. The front sits about 1 1/8" higher in the front than the rear.

Some pics show it level and viewing from the front in person looks level but from the side it's nose high slightly. That "bro lean" as they say lol

 

So the first pic looks really bad but it's not lol camera was slightly off level. Second one looks Better and can tell the slight nose high. But the third pic looks perfect and leveled from that front/corner angle.

I do still rub with this spacer cuz of my tires so I'd like to go to a 3in or 4in lift just to clear the rub better.

 

Ok yeah that's more what I expected. I'm lifted about 1.75 in the front and it looks like this. Going to get AAL in a few weeks hopefully.

 

your tacoma looks fckn awesome man ,just what im looking to do to my bbp tacoma , did u add any top spacers to your rough country spacer for taco lean?how bad do your tires rub?

 

Spindle lift and add a leaf. Did you get the Bilstein 5100s? I doubt that the stock shocks can handle those heavy tires for too long, especially with the current Rough Country setup.

 

I like the look of it from the front and back, just not the side lol but I'm gonna end up going for the spindle lift w/AAL. Your truck should look good with an AAL out back, perfectly level or slight rake. Post some pics when you get it done!

 

If that's what your looking to do then get it done man. just add something to the rear so it levels out and you don't have the lean.

I didn't add anything to the driver side for the lean..actually when I measured both front and rear the measurements came out to be the same on either side. I don't see a lean when driving or when looking at the truck on even pavement.

When I first got my tires I was rubbing bad on the UCA's and the front fender well. After adding the spacer lift and 1.25 wheel spacers, I no longer rub on the UCA's and fender on full lock. I do rub when the suspension flexes a bit or when going over big speed bumps. I trimmed a small piece off the fender well but that was about it. I'm sure it'd be worse off road and have to do a cmc.

 

I didn't get 5100's. A buddy of mine has the same size tires and stock shocks and no issue yet. My truck will most likely never see any real off-road time. It's a DD and majority all hwy miles. Now my friend does trails more than I do so who knows if his shocks will give out sooner than mine.

 

When I get done with our master bathroom remodel project, I hope my woman lets me put a little money into my truck.

I have researched the spindle lift and believe that it is the best option for my needs which are similar to yours. Basically it will allow you to safely lift and still use the stock equipment without changing the vehicle's geometry. Check this out if you have time.

Yea I'll read on that after my meeting this morning.

That is why I want to get the spindle lift and just to clear my tires from rub. Eventually I want to get some better wheels for them and get rid of my stock ones.

She better! With all the work you're doing on that project you deserve some truck mods! haha jk, hope your bathroom turns out great!

 

your truck is very nice , but i like the looks of it stock

 

I liked the look of it stock too but once I got into buying things I've become addicted lol it's been my dream truck for as long as I can remember and now that I have it I wanna make it mine.

 

I know what your saying....i just traded in my 2012 Ram and had a bunch of money into it. It never ends !

 

@TRDOBSESSED that was gonna be my first choice as I worked close to home then our office relocated further from home lol too much gas. Any plans for your Tacoma? That's a nice color you got it in!

 

^^^ Yes ...my Ram was silver too....such a good color to keep clean. I'm going to level it with Bilsteins up front. Going to get new tires at some point. Will probably go with the Falken AT3's or Duratracs, and some nice seat covers and that's it. I truly really like this truck and enjoy driving it.

 

Ive always wanted a Ram and Tacoma, Tacoma was more practical for my everyday needs lol. My first truck was a 1994 F-150 extended cab long bed 5-speed manual w/two tanks. Loved it but such a gas eater lol. Still have it though.
But that's cool man it's gonna look good. I don't plan to do much after a lift and new wheels. I'm such a clean freak so my truck is always clean on the inside at least lol.
