Are leveling kits worth it

I have a 2023 tacoma RWD and wanted to get a 2/3 leveling kit on but I have heard mixed reviews. Is it worth it or no?

how about wheel spacer has anyone had problems with them or are they worth it?

 

Depends.
What’s “worth it” mean?

Stay away from cheap kits and blocks.

If you ever plan to tow, add air bags.
Other wise your “level” truck will be nose high.

 

I don’t plan on doing anything crazy I just like how it looks. I don’t want it to come back and bite me in the butt and hurt my suspension bad

 

Tacomas are plenty capable. My lifted truck gets followed by my brother in laws stock truck fine. Unless you’re rock crawling.

if you want to level it, get 150 lbs of sand and put it in the bed along the rear axle.

lol, jokes aside, I wouldn’t go past 2” on lift. Any change to the geometry can open a can of worms.

imo a bit of rake looks good. You’ll be squatting if you put anything in the bed

 

It's not level for engineering reasons.

You can certainly level it if form over function is your thing.

 

Yep, you want to go with a. 2" front and 1" rear. You should avoid several could be problems and get the sweet look you are after. If you are just trying to get the look and not trying to gain suspension, off road or on road, then the simple spacer up front and a maybe a 3leaf add a leaf in the rear.

 

Looks better with rake.

 

They will make you able to win Baja, Dakar, Goodwood, Moab, and KOTH

 

Looks good. Ride sucks. with levelers.
Best bet is getting some adjustable coilovers 0-3", new rear shocks and multi-rate spring, like icon's rxt's and be done with it. Good starter kit.
Got your looks, with lift options.
Ride improves.

 

If I was 2WD, I would go this direction.

Wheel spacers are fine, if needed, get a good brand and follow the directions. Don’t let others over torque your wheels after installation.

 

Mine came with a leveling kit, installed by the dealership.

I don't think it's something I'd pay for myself, but it was priced to sell. I really like how it looks, and I haven't had any problems with it, other than somewhat worse fuel economy than a stock truck. That's probably more due to the bigger tires that came with it.

 

You’re going to get a lot of opinions, some are good, some are bad, you won’t know the difference until you read and learn for yourself.
