    Might be easier to lift the front up an inch then lower the rear depending what’s going on suspension wise.

    The other option, and the better one in terms of ride comfort, would be to get a set of 4x4 rear leaf springs from one of guys lifting their truck. When swapped to the spring under axle setup of the 5 lug Tacomas it gives you about 1 - 1 1/2" drop.

    This was my path. Resulted in leveling out the rear perfectly IMG_0810.jpg
