    I know there are different threads out there, but. I am thinking about raising the front of my 21 SR5 to make it level front to rear. . Is replacing the shocks difficult and will a wheel alignment be necessary when I am done?

    If you live in a climate that EVER gets down to 40 degrees then avoid the Falcon's at all cost. So basically speaking, if your truck build is in south central Bagdad then your good.

    Front maybe 3-4 hours with proper knowledge and tools for coil over setup. Are you looking at doing spacers or full coil overs

    rear - around an hour

    Yes; would recommend it to save your tires if you’re messing with the front end

    Eichbach stage 2 kit adjustable on truck for the money it’s a great deal, obviously better performing stuff on the market, but for the price it’s great. Don’t do spacers/blocks they suck. Alignment is very much needed.

    Perfect, thanks. I see that many where I live just use spacers up front to retain the facotry ride.

    There are differences in opinions on spacers. I used to run a Readylift spacer kit and blocks on my 2013. It rode rough. It was a night and day difference when I switched to Toytec coilovers and shackles.
