    Lol, does the stage one come with AAL's? Also I think another difference is the rear shocks on stage 2 have RR's

    Better than a leveling kit but stock spring with that is gonna be a rough ride

    You are getting ripped off for $1300 for just a leveling kit that is a 1/10 of that price that you can install yourself with simple tools. I would look into another shop if you aren't mechanically inclined enough, it's an easy job check out youtube.

    Sorry to bring back an old post, but what are the specs on your wheels and suspension? It sits nice

    Hey all, I usually don't post on here but thought I would offer what insight I have. I just bought a 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4. After doing a lot of research, I didn't want to put a lift or anything that messed with the angles or anything that required cutting into my frame. I eventually ended up doing a Zone Offroad 2.5" leveling kit and the ride is exactly the same (trust me Im picky on this) as stock. I put Fuel Maverick 20x10 -12 with BFG KO2 275/55/20 with absolutely NO Rub. Also I was a little worried about mileage and my truck only has 1000 miles on it but the first day I averaged 18.1 with mostly driving stop and go thru town about 200 miles. I love the truck! Good luck to all. That's my wife's 2018 4runner with the same set up. IMG_3334.jpgIMG_3335.jpg IMG_3335.jpg

    How's the ride been with zone? Did you add the zone rear shocks and/or blocks to level etc?

    I bought the Rough Country 1" spacer that sits on TOP of the coil spring assembly. That way it doesn't compress the spring and harshen the ride. It was an easy install and gives you 2" of lift which leveled my 2017 TRD Off Road perfectly. Remember, the amount of lift you get with a spacer will be double the thickness of the spacer because of the way front suspension is designed. Headstrong makes a 1/2" spacers that would give 1" lift. BTW, that Rough Country spacer was only $59.95 with free shipping. See the link...

    Here's my truck with the 2" spacer in the front and a 1" block in the rear. I like a little rake is why I added the block. Without it, it sat almost perfectly level.
