leveling front end with back - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Anyone ever level the front of their truck with the back? I mean any kind of truck? My Tundra is 2 inches lower in the front that the back. I think it'd look better level but I havn't seen one yet so I am afraid to waste my money if I didn't like it. I never tow anything heavy so it would'nt drip down that much in the back. Thanks in advance.

There's a few people on here and over at TS that have done the leveling. I personally would do the front with the back if I put the "lift/level" on...just incase I did have to haul a heavier load. But that's me...

I went with the ReadyLift leveling kit and love it.

Personally, I think adding blocks to the back (to create the factory rake look) defeats the purpose of leveling the front.

Was it a tough job putting on the readylift? You have to alighn the front end? Is there any difference in the ride? Thanks

I paid to have the dealer do it, but from the instructions, doesn't look too hard. The front end had to be aligned. No difference in ride quality at all.

Here are a few pics:

I put the readylift on an kept the factory ride. Yes you need to align the truck after install. The dealer outsources the kit from a local 4wheelparts. I checked with them on the price and it is no cheaper than getting it done from the dealership. Total came to around 500.00.

Mine was around $500 as well with parts and labor.
