    Hello, first post here. I’ve done a little research and didn’t see a thread on this, though I imagine there has to be one. Sorry if it’s been asked a bunch.

    I’m deciding between a 3in front and 2in back leveling kit or just the 2in strut spacers.

    I’ve been wanting the 2in spacers, but a buddy of mine is encouraging the full kit. I’m not wanting to hurt my fuel economy much and I’m not planning on putting huge tires on. Falken Wildpeak AT3’s are what I have in mind. I just don’t like the “nose down” look of my truck.

    Anyone have any thoughts for or against either one?

    Put a couple hundred pounds in the bed over the rear axle.

    Cheaper way to look level than messing with the suspension. And you'll discover why the rake is built in. So you can do truck stuff, like haul things.

    (PS, Tacoma's are a double wishbone coil-over-shock front suspension. Not struts, regardless of what catalogs call them)

    3/2 will probably give you the Carolina Squat, and it seems that lifting the front past 2" is opening up a whole can of worms, but I will let the pros chime in here.
