    3" lift, 18" XD spys, 33" nitto terra graps, 1.25 wheel spacers, bull bar + light bar.
    I've got a 2010 4x4 Tacoma with a "3inch" toytec add a leaf lift and 33" nitto terra graps. Truck is still sitting slightly nose down. Any suggestions on picking the front end another inch or so?

    Some point at the 3" lift mark you need address the A-arms and alignment concerns- so unless you think you have some sag in your springs and are not at a true 3" in the front- just might be easier to lower the rear- do have the overload installed? You could pull it and bring the rear down but nobody gets excited about lowering a 4x4 do they. Then there is always the option of going to another type of lift up front.

    You could swap out the top spacer for a larger one and once the aal sags swap it back.

    Put something heavy in the bed....tail high situation solved.....

    There's a point of diminishing return on front end lifting. The first 2-1/2" is easy and relatively inexpensive. The next 1/2" to 1" get's a little pricier. From there on, it can get really REALLY expensive and fraught with peril.... Unless you're willing and able to throw the cash into the 3-1/2" and beyond game, it's best left unplayed.

    Seems wise to have some rear 'up' left for those times when you need to use the truck as a truck and haul something...looks good to me.
