Leveled, but not leveled?

2018 Tundra 4X4, SR5. Had it leveled at the dealership using the kit below. Now the front sits 1/2 to 1 inch higher than the rear. Does that sound right?

More pics

 

Hard to see the nose up from your picture. That spacer says 2.4 inches of front lift. Did you measure the difference before install?
Sorry I posted before you added pics. I still can’t see the nose up really from the pics. How are you measuring?

 

Add a 1 inch rear block and you should be good.

 

What’s the gonna cost me?

 

Nice garage!

 

Looks good to me. If you didn’t put a rear block then the front will be slightly higher but should settle out. Personally when my stock struts and shocks go out I’m going to do the bilsteins or toy techs and ditch the idea of using spacers like I used on my last two trucks

 

Thanks for the advice guys! I’ll give it some time and talk to my dealership. Thanks again guys!

 

Every truck is different. I originally installed a pro comp 3/1 that left me nose high.

 

Thought the same. My garage is 1.5” too short. I admire long garages now. LOL.

 

It does look like you have a wet diaper in the back. Depends on your budget on what you can do. Cheap and quick to add a 1” block to the back and it would look perfect. You can spend more and do a shackle lift. Easy fix, but depends what you want to spend and what you’re gonna use your truck for.

 

Ok. I saw the blocks are cheap. Do you know what the installation would run? I’m pissed I spent money to level it and now it’s the opposite of what it was before. Frustrating.

 

I picked up my own sets of blocks online. The Rough Country 1.5” were about 25, plus the u bolt set- around 60 total. And the Toytec 1” was about the same. My local garage was done very fast- less than 1 hour of labor- about 60.00. So I only had about 120 into getting the rear back up so it didn’t look saggy to me. Just that 1 inch changed the whole look. I returned the Rough Country 1.5”, but wanted to have both sizes on hand that day just in case.

 

@bayfisher27 where are you located

 

Good to know! Thank you

Fort Worth, Texas

 

Thanks for all the advice! Had a 1 inch block put in the rear. Looks solid and sits level now.

 

When we say level..do we mean 1" higher on rear or same gap between fender and tires? Mine is about 1" higher on rear..using 3" toytec/eibach and 1" blocks rear

 

Looks much better. Did the dealership install the rear block?

 

The guy at the dealership measured from the center of the wheel straight up until hit the peak of the wheel well.

 

Yes sir. Thank you!

 

Now I just need to step up tire sizes. The 285s look ok, but a taller tire is in my future for sure!

 

Toyotas have always had a lot less rake than chevy/ford from the factory.

There is variance, what may level some trucks will likely raise the front higher than back on most.

Another vote for shackles. Don’t install a block, no reason to add axle wrap

 

Yup- That looks really good- perfect amount with the 1”. The same happened with mine and changed the whole look. May I ask which block you went with, how much, etc?

 

The shape of the roofline gives the illusion of more Cali lean. TRD Pro's are level with 2" in the front.

Measure ground up to top of wheel well all 4 sides.

An cheapish easy fix is Toytec shackles to raise the back, you'll also get ride improvement with new poly bushings.

 

This is so true, i just looked at the side profile of mine and you are correct

 

You hit the nail on the head. I have tried to figure out while messing with my Tundra’s height what exactly about the design makes it look so different from different angles. I had it perfectly leveled by measurement, and if I’d look at it from the front it would look nose high, and as I moved to back it would look perfect, sometimes with a little rake. So I had to fix my truck so it was not really level anymore, but pleasing to my eye- which was that common 1” added to the rear.

 

I did a 2.5 inch RC level on a 2014 XSP-X DC with no rear blocks and it had a rake in the front also. I now have a 2018 XP CM with a RC 3/1 level and it is spot on. I like it much better.

 

Hey guys I had a question, installed a 2/1 level kit for tuff country and love how it looks, the only thing I noticed my wheels slightly positive camber slightly, will the alignment fix that? Also did any of you. Notice a very small vibration after installing rear blocks? Mine has one, when I accelerate to about 15mph then goes away. I saw in other cases where people install a carrier bearing drop kit and it helped. Looks like you need that after 3” or more inches, but can it be that in my case?

 

Hey man what brand of tires do you have? I can't tell from the pictures but I like the way those look. How do you like them?
