    1 in spacer lift on top of the coilovers and in rear, k&n cold air intake, toytec tunebcs coilovers up front, toytec boss 3in lift rear shocks, trd rear sway bar, straights from the cat. back (She purrs a little)
    I bought a 2011 tundra crewmax trd. stock suspension. The truck had a 2 in spacer in the front. I did not like the way the truck sat so I leveled the back end. Now the shocks are fully extended and the ride is rough as ever. I have been to the local 4 wheel shop and most of the rear shocks are designed for up to 1in lift or 3+. All I want to do is smooth out the ride. Any suggestions on which rear shocks to use for 2in lift. Should I add the rear sway bar?

    Which shocks do you have in the rear? Any blocks? Shackles?

    There are factory shackles, after market (adjustable) and different height blocks.

    I was told to change the rears and leave the fronts as is.
