Leveling Kit, yes or no

Try an experiment. Put 200-300# of weight over the rear axle. That will 'level' the truck by lowering the rear.

You may also find it rides better.

If so, then determine how to make that weight addition stable and semi permanent.

Then you can slightly + size the OE tires with an tire that looks more aggressive if you wish. Use OE wheels or ones with OE specs, and you'll have no fitment issues.

Keep in mind that 99.87% of the rich world population will never know your truck is even level, much less 'reverse leveled'.

 

Whats your exact setup? I realy like it.

 

You could try swaping in the Trail Edition springs they are taller, and if you wanted to install them on different shock like a 5100 you wouldn't have to preload the shock. That should be fine for driving down the road.

Or leave it as is, trade it for a Pro, swap in the Pro shocks, get the TRD lift kit, go full perfomace suspension upgrade. Lots of options.

 

No. Rake is there because it's a truck. If you do any truck things, the rake will take care of itself. If you care about level trade it on a 4runner

 

no. Get a lift

 

Those have more rake than a Tacoma.

 

Did you have go to an alignment shop after?

 

If you do, aim your headlights after.

thanks.

 

I did a 1” all around - Streetrays front top plate spacers (no disassembly of the struts required) and 3 leaf progressive AAL in the back. The front spacers are .5” thick, with the geometry of the suspension, they = 1” lift, plus they were only $35. If all you want is a front level, those are the cheapest (and best IMO) option for someone who isn’t going to do anything hardcore, but they will still be fine for plenty of off roading. I’m not normally a spacer lift kinda guy (and have been off roading Toyotas since the mid ‘90s), but in this case, there really wasn’t any drawbacks to doing such a small front spacer on a truck that sees 95% pavement… The spacers are too small to cause any over compression damage to the shocks at all, and there’s no preload on the coils, so the factory ride is 100% maintained.

The rear AAL is 1.5”, but after the weight of my camper shell, I ended up exactly 1” of lift back there too, so I maintained the factory rake with the shell on. $35 for the spacers + $215 for the AAL, $0 to install everything in about 4 hours myself, so I have about $250 into the whole thing. After having the lift for 1 year, I would do it all exactly the same way again.

I highly recommend keeping some rake though OP, because as soon as you make a run to Costco, or do any truck stuff with your truck, you’re going to be squatting.
