    Not sure if this has been covered or not. Couldn’t find anything on it. I just acquired a 3rd gen suspension for my 2012 SR 5 4cyl AC 4x4. My concern is that will it level out the front or will it actually end up a little higher. Anyone do this on a 4cyl have any input ? Thanks

    Are you replacing the springs too? I also have a 4 cyl and got some 3rd gen shocks without springs and i’ve been wondering if I can use the stock springs with the 3rd get trd bilsteins.
