    Hello,

    I have a 2018 SR5, I want her to stand up a little better and look more like a truck but I don't need a huge lift kit.

    Would the best bet be a 1.5" levelling kit and if so, where would you suggest buying one?

    You can Google leveling kit for a 4runner, and get tons of results back. Then you can read through the reviews and decide which one looks solid!

    If you are only going for appearances (nothing wrong with that BTW) just stick a pair of spacers under the coil mounts. 1/2" spacers will yield a 1" lift and mostly maintain the factory ride.

    Just throwing it out there in case you’re interested. I have a new cornfed level kit 2” front 1” rear that I was going to install but decided to go a different route.

    A spacer lift for the most part serves no other purpose than to improve the appearance of your rig. It offers nothing in regards to performance.

    Spacers are cheap and if they’re short they won’t hurt anything.
