    So I kinda want to level the front end of my 2014...I just want it to match the back end..is there a kit that is better than others or are most of them decent? If I'm not mistaken, it would take a 2" kit correct?

    If you level the truck and ever use the bed it will always sag.

    Toyota used to install level coils on the 4runners and they always sagged. That's why they added 1" rake.

    Every truck will sag if you put enough weight in it lifted or not. But the question is how often are you pulling or loading down your truck. I know I did a Bilstein 2 - 2.5 lift with an add a leaf in the rear and have pulled a couple trailers as well as loaded down the bed full of stuff but haven't noticed much if any sag on mine. If you are that worried about sag while you may occasionally pull or haul something then get airbags to help handle the load and prevent the sag from happening. But most people don't buy specifically for pulling or hauling loads most of the time as the Tacoma is not generally the best vehicle for that. Just my opinion take it for what its worth.

    I beg to differ. 1700lbs in bed. Maybe lost 1" but not sagging at all. Last pic is 800lbs loaded and these leafs didn't budge.
