LEVELING KIT ADVICE

I have a 21’ tundra. Want to put a leveling kit on it to raise the front end a bit. Has anyone had any issues afterward? I am thinking about installing a 3” spacer kit

 

Howdy and welcome.

Awesome thanks

 

Spacer kits ride rough as hell. Also, spacers are not a 1:1 ratio. A 3" would give more than 3" of lift. The Bilstein 5100's are a much better option.

 

No problem. Most will advise against spacers (me too). 5100s are a great lower cost solution to level the truck.

 

its what I used. ( on middle setting ). Still 1/2” higher in the back but it’s what I wanted as I tow a boat. It sits perfectly level when towing

 

I am running Eibach 2.0R front coilovers with the rear resi shocks. I am stock rear for now but I was able to get 2" with up to 2 3/4" total lift. I would advise steer clear of spacers if possible and go with a spring lift like the Eibach's great shocks/springs. Truck rides nice as well.

 

please explain how, when your still using the factory strut, just moving the position of it.

 

It changes the geometry of the control arms. I ran a spacer and block kit before I went to coilovers. The ride is definitely harsh with those kits. It was a night and day difference after i git rid of it.
