Leveling Kit Advice

I know there are a couple other threads already, but they are just not answer my questions and I am still looking on a budget. I have a 2001 tundra ltd acess cab 4x4 and want to level the truck. It will take 2inches. Im on a budget so toytec and those fancy levels are out of the question. I do alittle off roading/mild. Bilsteins can only give me 1 inch in the front for my configuration. Help!

 

Are spacers safe? I have heard mixed reviews about them. Maybe if I added bigger bump stops

 

They’re not dangerous. If you’re on a budget, this is your cheapest option. What is your budget?

 

My budget is about 200 because Im a college student at the moment but dont like the nose dive

 

Thats looks good too. Which one would you prefer or think will be better?

 

I would replace the shocks instead of the spacers. Being a 17 year old truck, the shocks have probably seen better days, even if they’ve been replaced. I personally would replace all 4 shocks but that’s not in your budget.

 

T-Rex266 I can see why that would be. And Casper421, i bought it from a guy that recently purchased from a dealership. This was a month ago only and he had the report that stated they actually replaced the back shocks so maybe the eibach replacement shocks would be better in the long run! I wont die seeing my stock ride so I might save some money for those shocks. Thanks alot everyone! Should be about 350 total with install price.

 

Call a few shops around your area and see what they will charge. You might be surprised at their labor charge. You could always go to Napa or O’Reillys, borrow a spring compressor and do the install yourself.

 

Okay, I have little experience with suspsension work but I will see whay works out! Thanks again

 

Good luck and YouTube is your friend.

 

I bought the eibach's with the coils installed and did it myself. Best money I spent on my 05.

 

Anyone running strut spacers? My buddy runs them but I have heard mixed reviews. I think th eibach is still better, but I want some feedback and other real users to try and convince him over. But if any of you use spacers and like em for slight offroad usage, comment also! I want both sides
