    I'm new to lifting a tacoma and all of that but, can you put a leveling kit on after you put a 3" lift? Any answers? I'm trying to get it to set just right but it nose dives still and I don't like it at all.

    You have a 3" lift in the front and it's still higher in the rear?

    What's in the rear for a lift?

    If you include all of these details in the first post we wouldn't have to drag it out like this. :pccoffee:

    This that and the other thing.
    I wouldn't advise having a 3'' block in the back. from what i've gathered any block over 2'' can cause axle warp. but any ways, stock stance leaves the rear end 2'' higher then the front, if you lifted your front end up 3'' then for it to sit level, in theory you only need a 1'' gain in the rear, block or recommended add a leaf. block is less expensive and should do you fine if you don't off road and or tow heavy loads.

    try a 1 or 1.5" block for sure, 1.5 might give a little healthy rake too.

    I have the same rough country lift on my truck as well. It consists of a 2 inch block in the back and a 1.5 inch spacer on the front spring. When I measure the front still sits a little lower in the front. I called rough country and they said it "should be level". Like previously stated get a smaller block for the back. I don't have nose dive issues, unless you're possibly referring to the stance itself. I kinda like it myself.
