2" leveling kit?

Has anyone had any problems with 2" leveling kits on Tacomas. I have heard that going over 2" can result in excess CV wear. Any help.

Thanks

2" should be OK, going 3" is maybe going the limit with your CV's.

 

i have 3in with 1in diff drop so its acting like i have a 2in lift

 

What about using add-a-leafs in the rear, any problems?

 

no rpob for me a little rough at first but after a couple weeks they get better
did the schakel get in the way of the tail pipe what kind of sway bar disconnect do you have

 

The shackle did so I just cut the tail pipe off where it turns down over the axle. Slightly more noise but I think it sounds better. The sway-bar disconnect is homemade and on my taco I had do build a homemade mount that was mounted on the sway bar. With that I was able to fun a l shaped piece of medal down to the mount on the lower control arm, where I have a lynch pin holding it in. It wasn't too hard to make and works extremely well. My truck flexes in the front better than some solid-axle vehicles I have seen.

Has anyone had any axle wraping problems with 1" blocks? Also any one run 33" mudders? Notice any major changes in gas mileage?

 

IM HAVING A PROBLEM.. i installed a 2'' leveling kit in the front of my tacoma . it was a pain in the ass puting it in. i have an 09 tacoma btw. since i installed it, ive had a weird vibration thats noticeable when driving down the road. and theres sort of a wobble i cant figure out what it is.. any suggestions? i already got the alignment done.

 

check your drivline angles, you may need to shim

 

Top plate spacer or coil spacer? I'm guessing coil since you said it was a PITA.

First thing to do is re-torque everything in case it shifted after settling.

 

top plate spacer

 

i willl try and take some pics and post em up here. i dont like the leveling kit. and i dont have much money. due to payments .. but does anyone have the billstien 5100s? had the tsb done

 

EVERYONE has the bilstein 5100's.

 

haha yeah , but how are they? how well do the perform offroad?

 

A quick search will give you hours of reading material.

 

yeah, nice truck btw

 

just checked the driveline angles, they are off a bit
im no machanic..haha. do i attempt it? or should i go to an auto machanic? i dont want to mess up anything in the front end. thanks for the reply
