    hey guys looking to put a leveling kit on my 2002 2wd 4cyl Tacoma and I want to put 2in in the front and a 1.5in add-a-leaf in the rear. I measured the tire to fender well length and its a littler less then a half inch difference. I just don't know if I should go with the 1.5in add-a-leaf of the 2in.

    any positive feed back would be great thanks

    If you lift the front 2" and the back 1.5" you will have a factory type rake.
