    I am looking to put a leveling kit on the front of my 15 TRD Sport 4x4. The kits range from 1" to 3". I was told by someone that a 2" would make it the most level. I was just wondering if anyone else had any input on this or experience of their own.

    Look at my pics. 2" front, nothing in back. Came out level. the rear might be a tiny bit higher than the front, but I'd prefer it that way personally because the rear tends to sag over time, and it gives you a little rake so when you load the bed it's closer to level.

    Alignment came out good, no vibrations, etc. etc. I've been running this leveling kit for about 40000 miles on my 2012. No problems.

    Nice looking truck. I'll probably just go with the 2" in the front then. What size tires are you running?

    For the record. When I bought the kit, they accidentially shipped the 3" kit to me. It wasn't until I installed it that I realized it was waayyy too high. If you run the 3" lift, you'll need 1" blocks or AAL in the back to make it level. Also, the alignment wouldn't have been in spec with a 3" lift, unless I bought aftermarket UCA's. So I settled with a 2" lift and saved about $500.
