    The measuring tape is your best friend at this point... measure the hub to fender in front and hub to fender in the rear. there are no 100% similarities with tacomas in respect to height differences but rather ranges.

    Most people go anywhere between 1.75-2.5 to get level. Also, some go level without a load, and some go with a little rake, so when they do have a load they will be level and not nose high..

    this right hurr.

    If you haul anything heavy you'll probably need to lift the rear too. level trucks sag pretty bad under loads.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    $30000 truck and you plan on 'slapping' on a $50 spacer from of all places eBay? Do your truck some favors. Get some Bilstein 5100's and set them in the middle setting and you'll thank us later. If you value your truck put some value into your truck.
