leveling 2018 Tacoma

When my taco gets here I'd like to level the front out. I don't what to lift the whole truck. What is the best way to go about it?

 

Billstein 5100s and 885 coils in the front. You're probably gonna throw your TSS out of wack and void the warranty, though.

 

How much am i having to lift just to level out the front? Is the only way?

 

If you don't plan to take it offroad/do very light offroading you'll be okay with a quality spacer. I think Rough Country makes a good one. A lot of the guys around here don't like the idea of using a spacer in a 30k+ truck though.

If you go that route just don't do anything crazy.

I have a brand new Autosprings 1.5" front lift spacer. PM if interested. After buying it, I decided to go with an OME lift all around.

 

If you use just that Rough Country you’ll be nose high. I put a 1” block in the rear when I did mine and it is within 1/4” of level, without the block in the rear I’d have an inch of Cali lean.

 

Just installed 1/2 thick spacer on the front from toytec that gave me almost 1 1/2 lift (maybe because I have 4cyl 4x2) they say that it gives aprox 1 inch lift.. mine is completely level now.. I went this route because:
my truck is an asphalt queen and the only off road that she will ever see is to climb some side walks when it’s needed...
I won’t discard a new set of shocks...

Some people like this some not....

You decide..

 

Looks good, nice truck!

 

I look up the different brands.

 

I just had a 2inch ReadyLift block installed. I went with ReadyLift vs Rough Country because I wanted to spacer to be black (less noticeable than the shiny billet spacer) I don't go off road, Rides great! A differential drop was included in kit, but instructions said to not use it with OffRoads with crawl control because deceleration vibration may occur. I didn't use diff drop. I love the feeling of the truck a little higher, but it is now about 1 1/4 inches higher than the rear. I will probably add a 1 inch rear spacer to lift rear. I'm trying to decide about wheels and tires now. Trying to decide between Method NVs 17 x 8.5 with KO2s at 265/70 17 size or 285/70 size.

 

do you know if they make a1" block?

 

Sandbags! ...in the back of course.

 

Did you have to grind down the factory studs to make the leveling kit fit?

 

Yep, I did when I added the progressive 3 leaf add a leaf. It was a chore but I would do it again. I didn't have to grind the studs for the sandbags, however.

 

Curious to know what you ended up with, I’m looking to level my truck out with a 2.5” front spacer and a 1” block in the rear. I’m having a difficult time trying to decide on a tire/wheel set up.

 

so whats the consensus... If you want to level the truck, is it 2 inch or less???

 

2 inches puts it just a hair high in the front.

 

I had a rough country space upfront for years, no issues. However, if I were to do it again I would just install the shocks that level out the front and be done with it. I've removed the leveling kit and put on the TRD pro suspension from toyota

 

Mine is a little ass high with the progressive 3 leaf aal in the rear and the OME 887 5100's in front and I love it.
