    Had this truck (2018 Platinum 22k on clock) a little over a month and just starting to dig around, getting my wheel and tire choices sorted out amongst other things. The dealer couldn't tell me when I bought it if it had been lifted or leveled. It appears to me it has a 2-1 leveling kit of some sort. Tires are 305/55/20 with no signs of rubbing whatsoever, no spacers. It looks leveled to me. Can any of you confirm, and or recognize the parts. Factory? Am I wrong altogether?

    It does have spacers right where your coilover is. Also there's a block under leafspring if i'm not mistaken. So yeah it's lifted :D

    That's what I thought. I recognized the spacer up front but wasnt sure about the rear. I am a little leery of the spacer. I ran 5100s on both my 4runners. Dont need to snap a shock out in the woods.

    Yep, spacers are not the best option. I would swap them with new coilovers and shackles.
    And congrats with a new truck!

    Thanks! Yeah I am gonna thrown a set of 5100s on at the top setting. As far as shackles, what do you recommend? Basically install shackles and take the block out? I am a longtime 3rd Gen 4runner guy so leaf spring stuff is out of my wheelhouse.

    One of the best options also a bit pricey are Coachbuilder. But there's also Camburg and few others that are a bit cheaper but also good quality. Basically just avoid no name brand and you'll be fine
