Leveling Kit recommendations

Im sure this topic has come up many times in the past, and Im sure theres a proper way to search for a topic within this forum , but I have yet to make it work properly


I have a 2016 extra cab 4x4 , looking to just bring up the front to level it, appears to be around 2" difference

I believe having a 4x4 the kit would also need to have the front differential spacers as well

any recommendations on brand to use?

 

Use the Rough Country 1.75 inch level kit. No need for any spacers on anything, and the installation is super smooth.

 

Ready lift and Toytec are also popular brands. Diff drop is not really needed but opinions vary. You can learn alot from this thread..

As @Johnders2586 said, Readylift and Toytec. If you are dead set on spacers go with Readylift. I did for a year and a half and switched to Toytec Alumas last week.

 

thanks for the replys ,
tundra234, if you recommend readylift, then why after 1.5yrs did you change them out to toytec , not sure how to read your reply

 

Bilstein 5100s on the middle setting (1.57" lift) on my '16

 

OP, there is a bit of a stigma against spacer lifts. Tons of people run them an it's fine. There is a general consensus that they make the ride harsher then stock, limit suspension travel and are not a " functional" lift but more for asthetics. Alot of guys end up having a spacer lift for a while and then later on upgrading to a better setup (Bilstein/adjustable coilovers). It's really dependent on what's important to you, how much you want to spend and what you use your truck for..

 

thanks for the info.
But ive read the basic type that bolts to the top of the strut does not change ride comfort or suspension travel , but its the ones that install within the strut can cause the harsher ride and alter suspension travel?
I agree the better correct way to go would be to do what you suggest with adjustable coil overs , but for me that is overkill at this time and will cost much more. I still may consider that route when the struts need changed out anyway?

so for now, probably just the 1.75 (leveling spacer)

 

I completely understand an I am certainly not bashing spacers. I've run them on a few trucks without issue.. A lot of guys like ready lift I've used their products on my vehicles.. A friend of mine has the Toytec spacer on his 16 Tundra an really likes it. There are several other brands out there.

 

The Readylift is one of the most popular spacer kits on the market and fine for street use. I upgraded due to wanting a better system and better ride.

 

This is what I had, and what I have now. I can tell you that my ride is better with the coilovers and the rear shocks and shackles.

 

Bilstein 5100 or 6112. 5100’s are not much different in price.
