    You probably shouldn't level your truck since its a 2019 since it'll throw off your sensors and disable your cruise control

    When leveling my 2007 I used rear shocks that are 3" shorter than standard.
    The front shocks and bumper height remain at factory specs.

    How does a simple spacer kit throw off sensors or TSS?! My 2” front spacer is going in on Wednesday

    This didn’t happen to me. Did a 3-2, no issues with sensors or cruise. Did I get lucky?

    I am installing a TRUXXX 2” front spacer kit and diff drop on my 2019 Tundra, essentially the same setup I had on my Tacoma for years. $110 delivered, cheaper and alot less hassle than 5100’s. Unless your a hard off-roader spacer kits on top of stock shocks are simple to install, look and perform great, plus something to remember... they are used by a heck of alot of people all over the continent without any issues, just for some reason people on here are all horned up for Bilsteins.
    2” up front and leave the back stock will give your truck a nice level.

    I run bilstein on my Tacoma and back in 2012 on my ram. Ran daystar spacers on my 2016 4runner. Spacers are easier to install for the average guy in his garage and if you don't off road I don't see the difference especially if your current shocks are new

    You’re right people do like Bilstein, but i see others that are super hell bent on kings. Although if I could have dropped that kinda cash, I probably would have.

    On my 2015 I ran a nice spacer kit from low range off-road. It was a 3/1 kit and worked great, check out low range off road. Also kept my stock shocks B95B5F87-3A49-4295-8914-FA6B3A9E04B2.jpg
