    I cant really lift my truck because my office parking garage is 6'2 clearance. Question is: are there any disadvantages to a leveling kit? I just want my nose aligned with my rear. Anyone have pics of a 3rd gen with just the leveling kit? Thanks, I love you

    Leveling kit, do you mean body lift? If you got bilstein 5100 shocks and put them on the first setting youd just about level the truck out and not need to worry about not clearing that garage. Pic attached

    yah, like the 2.25" aluminum blocks on top the shocks...but now that I'm looking at the Bilstein 5100s you recommend, id rather do that, as the cost isn't bad at all. do body lifts alter body trim lines?

    Yeah I'd definitely stay away from big spacer lifts like the 2.25" spacers and blocks. Get the 5100s, pretty cheap, better ride, and much more functional. All around a good choice. Also look at going up a tire size if you want to make your truck look beefier

    I was thinking of getting the 4runner trd off road wheels or some scs's with some beefier looking tires... Not sure which route to go yet, especially since she'll be a pavement princess

    Nothing in the back, just 5100s and 265/75/16 tires. Heres a pic of my Pro though and it has a 1/2" flat shim (block) in the back, also 265/75/16 tires
