    Lowering tips might be in the street trucks forum.

    Most folks here level by raising the front.

    Or some folks leave the engineered rake in because they use it as a truck.

    I’m trying to figure out what exactly you have currently?
    Are you saying you have a leveling kit, but it’s not level?
    So you want to drop the rear?

    Your profile is confusing

    Welcome to TW
    To level out, look up spacers for the front
    Easy to install
    To see what you need for height, measure from middle of hub to bottom of fender in back to see what ya need for the front
    And what is a stacked leveling kit,,,,, when you say your stock

    Put some sandbags in the box.
    Because my rear bumper understructure supports were pretty rusty I put a 4xInnovation bumper on. The extra weight ended up dropping the rear end maybe a half-inch and giving the truck a slightly better ride. I would say not as bouncy.

    You'll find it there I'm sure.

    We don't even know what model your truck is.

    4wd or Prerunner 6 lug? Xrunner, or Base 5 lug ?

    While guessing is fun for us, it's not so good for your wallet if we guess wrong.
