    I’d do this. Kings are probably a little extreme for your needs

    I did the 6112’s and 5160’s in the rear, got me 2 inches up front. I’ve read that they have new 6112’s with a lot more settings so I’m not sure what you would gain from what settings. I’m also running 265 70 17 Wildpeaks on SCS wheels with a -10 offset. Rides great IMO

    So you just have the 6112 and 5160? No ALL lift in rear? Is this your truck and the wheels you mentioned?

    That looks level to me. Why get a ALL if its level? Doesnt the ALL make the rear higher? You stance looks perfect to me.

    It’s almost level can’t really tell unless you really really look hard, but considering adding weight to rear so I don’t want it to sag.

    I believe the add-a-leaf springs will give you 1-2 inches of lift in the rear? And plus allowing you to carry more weight in the bed?
    Another way is blocks? 1-2 inch blocks.

    I had a bad experience with my stock air vent diff ..air vent releases the high heat pressures in the rear end, I drive thru many mud puddles , it has a auto cut off, apparently some debris might have block it from closing, hence water got inside , destroying/rusting cause over $3,000 damages, was replaced

    Everyone please consider doing this MOD? The air vent diff valve is on the “rear diff” . I purchased the ARB air diff re-location kit , mounted in the rear driver side bed light housing, high up! I found out the new Ford rangers mount there’s way higher up , about the height of the truck tire..
    Aloha,

    Leveling any truck makes it look very balanced. Because I carry heavy loads, I prefer the bedside be higher, when loaded, that way off roading my back side is not dragging as much. My camping gears are heavy
    I want to add a one inch block? Because of the add-a-lift on, finding longer u bolts that fit the Tacoma, 10-11 inch longer is hard to find? Anyone knows? The u-bolts on, may work, but one inch more is going to be “tight”?

    Most trucks comes from the factory with the bed side higher then the front for that reason. Loads will drop the rear end.
    Aloha

    33’s have to admit looks better and for the more serious off roaders, the added height vs 32’s more ground clearance, more patch to the road is better.
    32’ works just fine, more fender clearance, better mileage, cheaper to buy,

    No blocks or add-a-lifts on the rear is ok, because the front of the truck did sit lower and all you are doing is rising the front to level it.
    When you add rear passengers and loads? Then you will notice the sag in the rears.

    I have notice , most people do not replace there bump stops. ( for taller ones) , a few will not put aftermarket UCAs? The upper controls will give more wheel travel for off roaders. Keeping the factory bump stops after a lift? If going over bumps, there maybe a bigger drop?
    There really is no cheap lifts? If you want to do it right?
    Aloha
