    Read alot on here about folks lifting their trucks, I am looking at getting a 3in leveling kit and have not seen any talk/reviews on that. I have a prerunner so it just a street queen but i would like to know whats best if yall have any feedback on leveling kits or cheap lift kits.

    Toytec Ultimate seems to be one of the most popular options as an overall kit.

    Even if your truck is just a street queen, stay away from spacer lifts. Look in to bilstein 5100's and possibly eibach springs for the front. If you had the rear leaf TSB done get a add a leaf for tsb spring packs. Use the search function as well for more in depth info

    Chris, Did you have any issues with it? I'm on a bit of a budget so unfortunately i cannot spend as much as i would want to on a leveling kit/lift. I have read several good reviews on it, but any feedback you provide would be excellent.
