    Changed my mind about a lift kit for now, can't really afford it with Christmas coming. Decided for the sagging rear in my Tundra to just install 2" blocks. Can anyone tell me if this is ok to do? I know it will probably give me a slightly forward rake, but I'd rather that than seeing the rear lower than the front.

    Yes you can do it. Another option and easier to install would be a 2 inch shackle.

    Why are you sagging? Bad shocks or weak leafs? FYI, the shackles will be a better ride than blocks.

    I was told that a lot of the Tundras do sit slightly lower in the rear. Its a 2011, not sure if it's true and that's why it's lower in the rear. I've only had the truck about 4 months, so I'm not sure. Thank u for your input and response.

    Its always suppose to be higher in the rear than the front or that would be considered reverse rake. You can go ahead and add blocks if you'd like but this route would be a bandaid fix since if its already sagging that much your leafs are probably going out.

    Idk, there's only 78,000 miles on it. Maybe I'm being overly dramatic by saying "sagging". It's slightly lower by 1/2 to 1 inch. It almost looks slightly lifted in the front, but I was told there is no lift on it. It currently has 305/55/20's on it, which I'm surprised fits on a stock tundra suspension.

    7" lift
    Add a 2" shackle instead of a block. Shackles equal no axle wrap

    Toytec makes an adjustable shackle that can either be set at 1 inch or 1 1/2 inches.

    Me personally that's what I'd do. My truck has a 7" Procomp lift and I'm fixing to remove the add a leave and install the shackles. The truck just rides to rough. I've lifted trucks and built rock bouncers for over 30 years Ride and confront means a lot to me especially when you can retain the same height. Just a though. Buy the shackles and if you change your mine hit me up and I'll buy them

    Post a picture of your front suspension. No way it should sit nose high unless something is altered. Look for a spacer/block between the front coil and where it mounts on top.
