Leveling Kit or Rough Country no3

I am considering leveling out the front of the 2018 tundra I have now. I know the leveling kits "pucks" are the cheapest and will reduce the ride quality of the truck from what i have heard. i have a friend that recommended the Rough Country

looking for some recommendations. Also have you noticed a drop in gas mileage. Im getting around 13 now running 285's on 20' rims.

 

A lot of dislike on spacer lifts, but personally I have had okay luck with them. My buddy runs the Toytec brand 3" an he likes it, says it didn't effect his ride much. I think for the price if your mainly on road an looking more for wheel fitment and aesthetics its still a good choice for most people. Rough country seems to have a bad wrap. I have no personal experience so I wont feed into that. I think a lot of folks will probably steer you to at least a Bilstein 5100 setup to get a few extra inches for relatively cheap over the rough country. I think mainly it comes down to what your going to use it for an how much you want to spend.. Just be realistic with your expectations. A $300 lift option isn't going to perform like a $2000+.

 

And i agree im looking a more level looking truck not to spend 2k
on a truck that will NEVER go off road. I have quads for that

 

That being the case, I personally think those rough country ones you have a link to look intriguing for the money. I'd give it a shot. I think a spacer lift would work fine too, I see a ton of guys running Ready Lift spacer or Toytec. 2 different approaches on how they do it, check out the suspension section there is a sticky that explains how they all work. As I said before alot of guys prefer to spend a little more an go Bilstein either 5110 or 6112. There are alot of other options out there. But tons of info and reviews on here.

 

This is what I have on mine didn’t affect ride quality. https://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-872c.html

 

I went with the Rough Country 1.75" leveling kit. No noticed difference in the ride. I've had it put on a week after i bought the truck in October 18.

Old owner had ruff country 3 inch spacer lift. Ride was horrible all shocks were blown at 23k was told that will happen. 50k truck 500 dollar lift lol. Buy once cry once now have fox 2.5 and triple bypass rear. At the same time I’m far from 500 bucks lol

 

If these shocks are $250/pair loaded with springs and drop right in, you can't beat that price. Even if they only last 50k miles, the money you save on installation (if you don't have a real spring compressor) is worth it. These are exactly what I was looking to do, and I have to believe they are better than the Ranchos. I had the rancho quick lift preloaded struts on my Silverado and they rode like trash.
