What’s a good configuration for a leveling kit, I was thinking 3” in the front and 1” in the rear, does that sound/look good, I’m having trouble finding that configuration setup on existing trucks.

 

Tundras have 2 inch rake, except the Pros which are 2 inches higher in front and level. So a 2 inch lift in front will level the truck.

 

@Robert241 to @frichco228 point and to give you an idea, this is my truck with the Rough Country 2” loaded front struts. Stock height on the back.

 

Ok thanks, I like your truck, and you just saved me some extra work i would have had to do.

 

Thanks. I appreciate it! She’s come a long way since this picture..

 

I was contemplating for so long on how to level my truck with out braking the bank and using pucks or spacers. Ran across some trd pro bilstein remote resi front and rear on a used local site here in town. Saved quite a bit. Here are some photos. Sits nice and level. Raised the front about 1.5 to 2 inches and now it rides like a dream! Threw 500 lbs of potted plants in it the same day and handled super well.

 

Truck looks great, what size tires, wheels and offset?

 

Thank you. 275/70/18, SCS Ray 10 with +20 offset. The tires do poke out from the fender about an inch.

 

Measure your truck to see what your current rake is. I have seen on other discussions here that it varies from truck to truck (double cab vs crew max, 2x4 vs 4x4 etc. all add to the mix).
I have a 4x4 Crew max and mine is exactly 1.5 inches, so I have a 3" front and 1.5" rear for exactly level, within 1/16" all the way around. Others have 2.5" front and 1.5" rear for level. and some have 3" front 1" rear.

 

I have just lifted the front about 1.5 inches by adding the trd pro suspension. Added rear too but i dont think it lifted the rear any with just the strut

 

The rears will require AAL or Shackles to lift. Looks good though!!!

 

Ofcourse i just dont want to lift the rear its perfectly level now

 

Are you planning to load anything onto the bed? Or even tow?

I’d probably even suggest getting Total Chaos Fab shackles since it’s only about 3/4”.

 

I just recently threw Bilstein 5100's on my truck and set the front ones on the middle setting and I think it looks pretty level.

 

Here’s what my 17 looked like w stock rims and tires after bilstein 6112 on top setting in front and 5160 on rear. Stock a arms, alignment was great.

 

Oh man the first day i had 5 100 lb potted plants in the box and it was a dream. I have a tent trailer with not much tongue weight but i will give the 3/4 shackles some thought

 

This is my truck with 5100 up front middle setting stock shock on back.

 

Yes sir, I did 5100 in middle at almost two inch in the front. After measuring its a little less that 1/2 lower in the front id say 3/8 but it looks lever to me.

 

2" Supreme suspension leveling kit with spacers and differential drop. Pic looks high in front but actually the front sits 1/2" lower than the rear which is about my target. $100 for kit and $390 installation. Can't tell any difference in ride smoothness.

 

I know this post is a couple months old, are those true OEM mirrors or knock offs? Love the truck!

 

Where did you find the TRD Bisten shocks, I think I may want to go in that direction. Thanks for any help you can give me on this.
