    I need to purchase a leveling kit and wanted to know which is the best brand and how difficult are they? I found some info here, https://campingmoz.com/best-tundra-leveling-kit/ but I am also wanting to hear from people who have actually bought and used them. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

    I put 1" spacers on the front of mine and that gave me a 2" rise in the front. No problems so far, but then again I don't go of road crazy.

    Go with bilstein 5100s. Way better than spacers.

    Go with Eibach... Better than 5100s :D

    Or just go with Kings... Better than EVERYTHING :spending:


    The truth of the matter is if you don't Rock crawl or put extreme stress on your suspension then 1-2 inch spacers aren't likely to cause issues... They won't improve the ride but will lift the vehicle. Dealerships are selling new vehicles with spacers and are giving warranties on them.

    They can reduce your ride quality, and with a newer vehicle that's not a great thing... But they do cost a lot less. So you can spend $100 on some spacers and possibly have a little worse ride quality or spend $800 on a full suspension lift in Bilstein or Eibach and improve your ride... while lifting.

    It's your vehicle and your choice.
