    I am interested in putting a leveling kit on my 2015 Tundra SR5 but to be honest I know next to nothing about it. Which ones are the best and most affordable ones? Where do you typically go to have it installed? I'm looking to eventually get some different tires too... maybe the Terra Grappler G2?

    Teach me all the things please!

    @ToyTec Lifts has plenty of options. Daily driver with Offroad or? What price range? Looking for adjustability on coils (height)?

    Are we looking for just a front end level or a full level kit?
    Off-road use at all? Or just a daily driver?

    Without going overkill and if you are just daily driving the rig, I personally would recommend going with our basic 3'' spacer kit... Link can be found HERE

    If you are wanting to replace the shocks and springs on the Tundra, then the next bet for you would be to go with our Eibach 3'' front coilovers and 1'' rear blocks with rear shocks.. Non adjustable 3'' front end lift that will offer great ride quality and durability overall... Link can be found HERE


    If you are planning on adding extra weight on the truck (bumper, winch, ect...) then I would recommend going with the BOSS kit, full ride height adjustable coilovers (1-3''), all shocks built and valved specifically to the weight of the Tundra, which in turn will give great ride quality both on and off the road without compromising your suspension travel. Link can be found HERE

    Does anybody have any pictures with stock rims and tires with a level kit? I just want the front leveled and keep rims and tires stock for now. I just don't want the truck to look like crap if I only level it. Thanks in advance!

    The dealership quoted me almost 1,000 for a level kit. My truck is just a daily driver.

    That's insane! Level kit should cost that much. No more than 3hrs should be charged plus materials

    2" Level. A set of quality 2" spacers from Toytec is around $180. Install it yourself with a buddy on the weekend. Alignment is around $100 extra.

    Don't go to the dealer

    I was quoted $1099 for a 3/1 or a 3/2 zone leveling kit and that included a front end allotment along with upgraded Fox shocks

    $100 bucks plus shipping and I'll send you mine lol. My 7inch just arrived in the mail and just waiting on tires now. Mine is a 2.5 so pretty much a level.

    3" Front / 1" Rear by Ready Lift... installed it my shop. So far so good. I'm sure you can spend more money, but at the end of the day it's still a hockey puck wedged in there

    I knew nothing about lifts, offsets, backspacing or what would or wouldn't rub.... learned it from the great group here and have had no issues.

    Lots more details on my profile page...

    I'm gonna level my stock truck. Daily driver. Light offroad.

    So many options. Maybe Bilstien 5100s in front..


    And need to fund some kickass black rims that don't break the bank. For the current tires. 275/65/18
