    Probably just need to re calibrate the TSS camera and sensor. Toyota dealership or Safelite Auto Glass can perform this calibration.

    There are some electrical connections at the front end, its an abs or speed sensor, something like that. Its connected right by the CV boot. Have a look and be sure it wasn't snagged during the install. Plenty of people level the front only with zero issues, including myself.

    ABS is not a issue and I know where the sensors are. It’s Pre collision, BSM and a few others. It was a Rough Country level kit.

    It’s not a leveling kit if the truck isn’t level when you’re done LOL Our trucks have about a 2 inch rake, so if the truck is going to sit level the front can be lifted no more than 2 inches before you have to address the back to keep it level. So I’m going to assume the kit you bought is a 4/2 lift. I think I’ll get that block put in before I messed with any sensors. If the light doesn’t go out, then go and get it recalibrated or possibly have the sensors adjusted?

    it sits level now, hence the level kit.lol This isn’t my first time doing this. Had the same truck but a 16 , Obviously it didn’t have pre collision and some of the other sensors so there wasn’t an issue. I was thinking if I raked it like stock again it would fix itself but still sit higher in the end.

    I’m pretty sure you can get it recalibrated if you wanted to keep it level and not mess with the back. Lots of guys around here I’ve gotten away with it no problem. I guess it’s luck of the draw LOL.

    Your issue is that you leveled your truck so the TSS is thrown off and you probably can no longer use your adaptive cruise control. 2019s must have a minimum of a 1 inch of rake. Which means the rear is higher by an inch. We lift these all day long at Toyteclifts and as long as we keep a little rake, zero issues but we never level them for this reason.

    Not really worried about losing the adaptive cruise control. Just can’t imagine doing this and having all these dash lights on for the time that I have this truck.
