    Hi tundra family! I want to get a leveling kit installed on the tundra and wanted to know if anyone in the Phoenix area knows a good place to go? The dealer wants almost 1000$ to do it so that's out...lol
    Any help would be awesome!

    After doing one of my coilovers myself and having my truck jacked up in a precarious position and it being 95* out I had the dealer do the second one for $135.00 and $90 for alignment. The rear shocks and shackles I did myself.
    Good luck. D

    Join the Arizona Tundras Facebook group - they are good for giving suggestions for stuff like this.

    To answer the question, sorta: most folks in that group loudly and repeatedly say ask for Mike McCombs at BDM Customs in Tempe. Disclaimer: I have not yet done anything to lift / level my truck, and have no direct experience with BDM. I just know a lot of people recommend them.

    SDHQ Offroad in Gilbert would be somewhat close and highly recommended. Otherwise I would suggest Craig at Strapt Performance who is an awesome guy and does high quality work.

    Sierra Expeditions in Mesa. But you’ll likely leave with more than just leveling..

    Before overlanding was cool in North America, a bunch of folks in that area were at the epicenter. Expedition Portal and Overland Journal developed from members of that group. I was privileged to know and learn from them as the pastime grew in popularity and into an industry.

    Wil, the owner of Sierra Expeditions, is one of those core people and although I haven’t spoken to him in many years I still continue to recommend him based on my past experience.

    Looked it up. It does. So your truck should sit almost level. Maybe you just want a little lift? You can add an inch to the front with spacers or get new shocks

    The TRD Pro Suspension rides great (I added it to my Limited). If you want another inch or so of height I would add CB Shims to the front for an extra inch and use the CB Shackles on the rear. I plan to add these to my TRD Pro Suspension soon. This would also give you a little more clearance for bigger tires as well.

    Okay so you need the parts and the install, call Sierra expeditions in Mesa and they can help you level it out. Or Arizona tundras might be able to help as well.

    Never trust that dealer btw. They shouldnt even offer to do a level kit on a trd pro. You cant add a 2 inch lift spacer safely to a pro

    Not sure OP has a Pro. Truck listed as "2015 Limited TRD Pro CrewMax". The bumper caps don't appear to be color matched, so most likely it's a Limited trim level w/TRD Pro grille installed.
