    Need some advice please. I want to level out my truck (2inch leveling kit). A couple of shops have different kitsch they use at different price range.

    Shop 1. Pro comp or rough country 350 out the door

    Shop 2. Ready lift kit around 650$

    Shop 3. Also ready lift 700$

    Two of the three said ready lift is the best for the tundra is this true?

    Personally I haven’t used those brands but a buddy of mine liked his rough country. On my 15 tundra I ran a 3” spacer from Low Range Offroad.

    I have a Readylift 3/2 SST kit. You can get it for around 240.00 and install it yourself and get an alignment after install. However, they are good for a budget lift on a street truck. Don't offroad with a spacer kit.

    I don't go off road much if any. The snow maybe just to take the kids but nothing crazy. I wouldn't know how to install them myself so would have the shop do it.

    Fat Bob's Garage 3" vated adjustable coilovers are great. Installed both in about an hour minus beer drinking time. If I remember correctly it's literally 7-8 bolts, remove old spring and shock, insert new, tighten bolts.

    I love them especially for the fact they are adjustable coilover.

    I think you may have better luck getting opinions if you told us exactly which kit those shops are offering to install. Each of the manufacturers listed have different lifts/ leveling set ups.

    In this link there are 2 different styles of lifts, each with there pros and cons.

    https://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-leveling-lift-kit-870c.html

    To be honest, all of the manufacturers you listed are about the cheapest and lowest quality ways of leveling a truck.

    Why skimp on a brand new $40k truck?


    If all you want is a 2” level in the front, I would recommend the Bilstein 5100’s or Eibach pro sport shocks. They will provide a better ride quality than any of the lifts you mentioned.
    You can get both of these through our board sponsor Toytec.
