Leveling Kit Recommendations

Wassup Tundra family, i just added some 285/65/18 BF Goodrich K02's and new 18" trd pro wheels to my 2017 limited. It's stock height and I am looking to level the front. Any recommendations on leveling kits and also, how many inches should i level it with to match the back? please share any links to product recommendations if you can. Nothing to expensive cuz I don't want to break the bank cuz i already have with the wheels and tires lol.

 

Hit up @memario1214, best bet would be some new shocks for the front either Bilstein 5100s or 6112s or an Eibach shock. Tell him what type of driving you do and a budget and he will provide you with options.

 

This^^

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll hit up @memario1214

 

He is a great guy and a very reputable vendor.

 

Yes I bought the 5110’s from him and on middle perch mine is about 3/4” high in rear which I like for hauling.

 

Did you install them your self or did you pay someone? How much would you say i should pay to have them installed because i know i won't be installing them?

 

I paid $650 if I’m not mistaken, that included alignment, they have to take off spring ect. That why it’s higher

 

Holy mother...

Maybe that's normal. I'm no mechanic, and it took me a full 8 hour day as I recall, dinking around with minimal tools in the driveway. Did the alignment also... figured with all the complaints on here about shops getting that wrong, I'd just do that myself too. Figured a shop could do it all in 2 hrs, but maybe not.

Stock they are 2.1-2.3" lower in front. Shoot for 2".

 

This is in SC, not sure of where you are. Labor there is $100 an hr

 

South Carolina, not Southern California

 

They have to remove the spring as the ones I bought were shock only. If I bought the complete setup it wasn’t much difference

 

I just did a search and it looks like $250-$800 are what people have paid just for labor. It's a wide range...

 

Good luck with $250 for install and alignment, I got 3 quotes and they were all around 650. $250 maybe for rear shocks.
