Leveling kit left the nose up 3/4" and I hate the look!

    I don't like my front end being up like that. The guys at Schwab say it will settle? Can I just put a 1/2" or 3/4" spacer in the rear? Reverse rake bugs the tar out of me and I don't want to drive this thing for a year hoping it may settle in the front!

    Any ideas for me?

    Springs? It should only take a few days of driving to settle, unless they just used a spacer, then it'll never settle. If you wanted a little rake why didn't you leave it stock? It's almost level..

    would never touch anything but tires on my $35k truck.

    I'm assuming you don't have any real mechanics available in the area?

    And as others have said, exactly what was done?

    Only one word comes to mind and I dare say it. Shit son, I was wheeling a brand new $40k 4Runner two days after I bought it and was at ARB within a month looking for info on a bar and lifts for it. Washington has its fair share of Toyota wheeling experts, just gotta find them. I'd say seek out Crash, of course he's a crawler but he's pretty knowledgable with Toyotas

    I'm a newbie. I wanted 18" rims with the toyo tires and this is what they did.

    Spacer lift, will never settle. You either need to block the rears up or add a leaf or 2

    It's those ugly wheels.

    What did all that work and parts cost you? 5000?

    I got the leveling kit, wheels and tires done at Les Schwab. A big wheels and tires chain in the PAC NW.

    I also have some vibration/rubbing sound that starts at 35mph.

    It's a five speed manual and I haven't tried out the 4wd yet. I suspect one of the 33" tires is rubbing on something. The sound/vibration seems to be coming from the front right wheel area. I hope the guys at the wheel/tire shop can figure it out. It drove so smooth on my 100 mile freeway ride home from buying it with the mini van mom wheels and tires.

    Are others experiencing some vibration on their new tacos?

    I don't know that's why I'm asking. Many 2nd Gen Tacoma owners had vibration issues after lifting.
