Front Leveling Lift

I’m sure the answer to this question is somewhere in the threads, but I’ve searched and can’t find exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t really want a lift, but I do want the trick to be level instead of diving forward. Has anyone just lifted the front to level the truck? All I can find are leveling kits that add 2 inches in the front and one in the back. Can’t I just lift the front one inch to level it?

Generally they are accepted as minimal risk to the suspension, 1/2" spacer = 1" lift on the front.

You are correct that 2" is too high, and it runs other issues as well.

 

I have the Rough Country leveling kit, which is just a front spacer. I really like it but I needed a rear 1 inch block to make it level after adding the RC spacers.

Just throwing it out there so you know in case you are considering buying it.

 

How does any of this affect warranty? The truck only has 130 miles on it.

 

Do you plan on lifting in the future? If so, why not just use that money toward some 6112s to level it out? It will ride better than stock and you won't have to do it twice or risk extra stress on stock components with blocks.

 

Toyota told me that suspension lifts won't effect warranty unless it can be proved that your modification caused the damage, which is why I, personally, wouldn't do blocks.

 

I’m still new to this. What exactly is 6112s? Are they shocks?

 

1/2" coilover spacer install

As mentioned, several times, your going to need longer studs. I believe Wheeler's has the 1/2" spacers and studs in a package deal. I could be wrong, you might have to add them to your cart separately.

 

Yes, they are direct replacement aftermarket coil-overs from Bilstein. They have 6 options for ride height too (0"-2").

 

Went with streetrays aluminum spacer that gave 1in lift up front (1/2” spacer) awhile back. Very happy with the outcome and easy install.

 

Do you have to upgrade/change anything after? I've read that problems can arise after a lift because of the changes in stock angles.

 

You'll need to do an alignment afterwards. If you do the full 2" lift you'll want aftermarket upper control arms too to get the caster angle back. you can do it one piece at a time and start with the coil-overs and a small lift, and then add UCAs and some more lift.

 

if they are "Thermoplastic" as the site says for those, i am not sure i would keep them on long term, always read they should be aluminum billet or steel.

 

Mine are aluminum. I must have sent the wrong link.

 

Hey man, I bought a 17 and threw a lift kit on the truck 3F-2R. Torque converter went out 6 months ago and Toyota didn’t mention one thing about the lift causing my problem. Fixed it with warranty that came with it. I’m sure if I had mud caked up under the frame and what not I’m sure they’d probably gave me some shit but luckily I keeps it clean lol.
