    My 16 taco sport from factory sits low in the front, pushing the sport hood just that much further into my field of vision. I would like to know how to best bring the truck to a level position, not just because of the hood but because I think it looks stupid squatted down, it looks like I am hauling a load.

    But....if...the scoop was already in your line of sight would an "up lift" of the front only put it more in your line of sight? And....if....it looks like your "hauling a load" (giggity) how would an "up lift" fix that?

    Maybe the OP is just too High?:rasta: If you want to lift the front to level it you can always do a simple spacer lift.

    Of course, only a TRD Sport owner can understand another one of his kind.. I truly don't get what those TRD/OR guys say....I think they have too much mud in their "intakes"... hehehe :rofl:

    Judging by his other post, it is indeed nose high.

    OP, either of these will lift the rear, leveling it out.

    I am sorry for the mistake, yes you are right it sets low in the rear. If brought to level would look better and feel better

    Dude...it shouldn't sit low in the rear from the factory. Take a tape measure and measure the distance from the center of your rim to your fender. Front and rear. You may need surprised. Optical illusion

    If it is an elliptical conclusion, it is a pretty good one. in any case, if it is magically not lower in the rear, I will need to lift it anyway, because it looks low, regardless. I know when I park it on a slight incline pointing down the hill it looks to be nice and level. are the fender wells front and back at the exact height position on the truck to be able to use as a leveling measurement? I think using a level would be something to consider in this, but I know the thing sits low. And yes it would look better if it were raised,

    Like mentioned above, the proper way is to measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender on all 4 corners. Simple as that.

    What in the hell is an "elliptical conclusion"?

    I "conclude" you are toasted.

    When you arrive at a conclusion while on an elliptical, the guy works out, cut him some slack.
