    I just got a 2012 Tacoma access cab 4x4. Its a 4cylinder 5speed. I want to put a leveling kit on this and need to know what the best one is to get. 2 inches or 2.5 inches. I've been reading about 5100 billsteins and everyone is saying that is the best? If anyone has any pictures that of a Tacoma with a leveling kit I would love to see it. Any response would be helpful as I am not too knowledgeable in this area.

    I initially set my 5100's at 1.75" and that seemed to level the truck. Some people experience that to cause the front to be be nose high. It just depends on the truck. In the end I did 1.75" in the front and 1" in the rear. Leaves me with a slight rake.

    Looking to do something similar to my 2012. How was the ride quality with 1.75" in the front and 1" in the back? And do you think it would make the tires I have on look too small?
