    Good morning

    I just had my local shop install a 4" RC lift with Mono tube shocks on my 2019 Tacoma. I used my existing wheels and went with 285-70-17 toyo at3 tires. No rubbing or chopping of frame

    I have a decked box in the bed for my tools.

    The problem I'm having is the looks of it look like the front end is higher then the back. When driving it it feels like the hood is so much higher then the back. I put a level on the bed and it's perfectly level. I measured from the ground to the bottom of the front and back fenders. the front fender is about an 1"-1/2 higher. The ride of the truck is perfect but don't like the feeling or looks of the front end higher then the back.

    My question is how do i fix this issue? Do i raise the back up 1'-1/2 to compensate for the difference? If so is it just adding larger blocks in the back? If you have any recommendations please let me know.

    Please excuse my ignorance in this I'm new to the lifting of trucks

    Thank you in advance

    I have reached out to my local shop and they are going to get me a price for the add a leaf. He also recommended maybe adding bigger blocks in the rear.

    Any negative to adding a larger block? Once again sorry if these are dumb questions

    thanks in advance
