    I just order 3 inch lift struts and 2.5-5.5 rear shocks. I still need to order some leaf spring. What size would I need to order to make sure the 2017 tacoma sits level?

    Thanks for the help.

    Normally 3/2 would level you out front to back

    And I assume you are doing a few other things since you are adding 3 in the front?

    Sorry about that folks. Just joined the forum. I will pay closer attention to those details when posting threads. Yeah I was going to get bigger tires and rim. I did build a storage box which will add some weight to the truck bed. Going to use storage box for tools and such. May need to go 2.5 from the research i have done. Again thanks and i apologies for any inconveniences.

    Getting the leaf spring is essential correct? I shouldnt use the stock leaf spring with the 3 inch lift.

    Shocks don't lift the rear, they are just the damper. The rear needs either leafs, or blocks.
