    I just got a 2022 Tacoma that a guy lowered. I plan on returning it to factory height for now but thought about adding a front leveling kit. Is it worth adding the front only kit? Ive seen mixed reviews. Thanks for the help.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld. Front leveling kits are more about your preferred aesthetic preferences versus performance (in my opinion). Some people don't like "rake" or slight slant from front to back so that's why leveling kits exist. I'd say just start by returning it to stock and then you'll see if you like it or not.

    If you want to use it as a truck, rake is good.

    Don’t waste your time and money leveling a lowered truck you’re planning to lift back to stock height.

    I would return it to stock, and then save up for a proper lift. Why waste money in the mean time?
