    I searched the forum posts for 'leveling kits' and found numerous pages. I could not find where anyone has installed this particular kit. If you have, let me know what ya think. And fyi, I just want to get rid of the nose down look. I will probably replace the tires with something in an AT, but no more than a size over stock. I do not off road it. I've also seen the lifts like Motofab on Amazon for like $50-100. I would want nothing over 2" so to avoid problems. Here is the link to the kit I mentioned...

    Typical spacer kit. It is no better or worse than any other. Most stay away from them for many reasons that can be found in the suspension forum.

    I have a 3/1 BDS leveling kit that I will be selling in 2 weeks. To be honest the ride isn't much different im just going a little bigger.

    I installed the Truxxx 903010 2” leveling kit on my 2019 Tundra. I am very impressed with it and it came with a diff drop to keep factory CV angles. Great bang for buck

    I think you have the right idea staying 2" or less - otherwise you really want new upper control arms in an ideal world - and costs start to snowball from there.

    The rough country kit looks fine for a pavement queen, but the way they extend the studs is not ideal looking - I'd probably just inspect it on a regular basis to make sure no stud extensions have broken off.

    The exact reason I passed on the RoughCountry, I didn’t like the fact they Simply extend the studs.

    I'm with you, the way that Truxx does it seems like it would be stronger for sure.

    I would pass on this style of level due to the design. Like others have mentioned, the way they built the stud extension doesn't seem like the best idea.

    The kit works good, I ran it on my 2016 TSS for 2 years just upgraded to the Eibach 2 1/2 Lift shocks. I have the the RC spacers if you’re looking to buy. 4ECB5BFD-02D6-49C2-81D2-DE764182E920.jpg

    Well, I already bought. I appreciate it though. Good to hear that it was an issue-free run you had with it.

    What’s the install like on those? I remember doing a similar life on my 1st gen tundra and I felt like I had half of the front end apart to get them in.

    I didn’t do this one though I wish I did. I don’t think it’s hard to install though, straight plug and play after you adjust the shocks.
