    I own a 2021 Limited Crewmax Tundra and would like to level the front end for looks as well as aftermarket wheels and tires. Haven't had the chance to speak with any shops yet but have been trying to do my research online, still new to all this lift stuff, lol! Question is, I've looked at the Ready lift 3/1 and also different types of coilover lifts. Will not be doing any major off-roading and a majority of my driving is done around town with the occasional long road trips.

    With the ready lifts I see all kinds of different spacers that are needed for the additional height change but don't see that with the coilovers. Are these other spacers not required when using coilovers? My guess is the best way to go is with coilovers but is the additional price increase worth it with my driving conditions?

    I already have 20" wheels on the truck but plan on moving up to a 20x9 or 20x10 wheel with 33" tires. Trying not to do to much cutting or trimming of plastic without any rubbing. Any/all help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Coilovers do not use those types of spacers.

    Don't waste your time with spacer lifts. Ride quality is garbage and you'll be wishing you had done a lift the correct way. If you're not into upgrading coilovers entirely then look into bilstein 5100's. Easy to level the truck and improves performance/handling at all levels.

    Some shops will do set of four Bilstein 5100's installed for around $700.

    If you want to run 33 inch tires, no need to lift the truck- they fit with stock suspension. You could save some $ and install 33s on your current wheels, no lift, no problem.

    What he said.

    I used to have 33's on my stock truck and then 34's on my Bilstein 5100 level. You could even just do front 5100's to level it if you don't like the stinkbug look
