    Sup TW! I just purchased both set of leveling kit, the 3” front 2” block rear and the 2” spacer in the front. I’ve read and heard a lot about the lift kits issues but honestly not looking to spend a lot for right now on new suspensions since I don’t do off-roading it would be just for the looks. I have a 4 cylinder and 2x4 2014 Tacoma and have 265/70/17 tires. I heard that the 3/2 will be too high and will have to put bigger tires to fill the gap and that it will get my truck slower than already is. I uploaded a photo of my truck so you guys to see and of the kits.

    Are you putting in both kits? I am kind of confused on this, plus the 265/70/17 will look fine as it's just a little bigger than stock size. My OCD is killing me though as that fake Pro Badge is not even straight and sticks out like a sore thumb.

    2x4 is a block of wood the correct term is 4x2 meaning 4 wheels and 2 drive wheels. I would advise staying away from spacer lifts even in a 2wd. They are too cheap and you can get a quality Bilstein replacement shock for not that much more. Since your 2wd you can go up to 3 inches before youll need a replacement upper control arm. But look at Maxtrac spindles. They are a good lift option for 2wd trucks.
