    I have a 2wd TRD Sport (I know booo):mad: stock height. I changed to TRD Pro wheels and it has really made the "Taco Lean" more noticeable. I am looking for a simple leveling kit to level my truck out. No "Lift Kits" to make it a faux wheel drive. I just want it level. Suggestions please.

    I'd just measure each corner and figure up the lift you want, then get spacers accordingly.

    Just get a simple levelling kit off of Amazon. Worked well for me. I do not know about the 2WD but I did 2" and the front was slightly higher than the rear, 1.5" would have been perfect but I ended up adding a 1.5" add a leaf in the rear which corrected the rake. For your usage, a spacer will suffice.

    It's a truck, don't level it. You said "taco lean", but that is side to side and has nothing to do with a leveling kit. I'm guessing you don't actually mean "taco lean"?

    No I just want the front and back to be the same height. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.

    If you look at my posted pictures you don't think the front sits to low?

    IMO that’s how a truck should look, slight rake.

    If it’s “leveled” and you carry a load in the back your truck will squat, your headlights will blind everyone and your truck will be harder to control.

    I really don’t get this whole “leveling” thing.

    looks fine to me but maybe putting street shocks on the back might lower it or keep some sand bags in the bed till the OCD wears off
