Tundra Leveling kit 2” or 1.75” or 1.5”

Have seen mixed reviews when it comes to leveling the front of Gen3 Tundras. Some say it’s 1.5” some say 1.75” and majority say 2”.

Looking for the level look with AT Tires and I want to try the level option before going to the 3” front 1” rear westcott or other 3-1 lifts.

if anyone has pictures of their setup with All Terrain tires please share. Thank you.

 

here is mine with a 1.75” level and 295/60/20 tires

 

looks clean. What leveling kit you use. That’s the size tire I’m looking to get 295/60/20

 

Any rub at full turn? What tires did you go with?

 

Just an RC 1.75” kit. I am considering other lifts with coil overs and will wait a bit longer before I take the jump into a full blown setup.

 

I had some rubbing on the mud flap so I took the front ones off and have the liner pinned back so it is good.

Rubbing is due to the offset of my wheels. If the offset was more like +30, I wouldn’t have any rubbing.

Toyo Open Country AT3. These measure out at ~34” diameter.

 

I have a 1.5" front level only. It still has about 3/8" of rake with an empty bed. With about 100#'s in the bed its perfectly level. I'll post a picture when I can.

 

Thank you. What 1.5” front level kit did you use?

 

I have Westcott front only preload collar lift. Stock rear. The Westcott kit lifted the front about 2.25”. But my truck is a TRD sport so it’s 0.5” lower in front from factory. That’s why I got 2.25” lift with their TRD sport specific collar. Rear is about 0.25” higher than front.

Wheels specs are 18x9 +20. Tires are 35x12.5 Toyo AT3. Just had to zip tie the front liner back.

 

looks nice. What tint do you have on front doors? Is it uniform with back doors or a little lighter?

 

20% tint on front only. Looking from the outside it matches rear.

 

Nice truck! Any poke with the 35x12.5? What is the offset on the wheels?

Random side note if/ when you decide to lift the rear- don't forget about those brake lines. Factory ones are pretty short.

 

+20 offset. Pokes about an inch.

 

I’ve got the RC 1.75” up front and Cornfed 1” in rear. Measures .5” higher in back. I think that’s a nice stance.

 

this looks perfect to me.
i've been looking at my 2.5 gen lately and noticing that what was once level is no longer. adding a bit of rake doesn't hurt in the long run as things do end up settling out.

 

Looks real good. Where did you get the Cornfed 1” rear? I have a 2” kit up front so I’ll get the 1” incase it is nose high.

 

Good to know, thank you!

Now to see if anyone wants to buy 20" 1794 polished wheels haha

What tint do you have on the front doors?

 

Before and after 2" preloads up front. Still waiting on the front end to "settle" so as of now the rear is about .5" lower. Thinking about getting a cornfed .5" spacer for the rear while I wait. Currently in process of de-chroming. 275/60/20 tires in both photos.

 

40% on front windows.

 

Forgot to mention, ball joints (tie rod & upper CA) are fairly angry with 2" so I don't see them lasting very long with anything taller w/ larger/heavier tires, especially if you rocky road it regularly. I'm gonna run them until popping then upgrade. Guestimation about 2 years on my setup/mileage (500/week)

My unprofessional opinion

 

TRD off road package and went with 2” ready lift up front. Not happy about the front being so high and don’t want to raise the back. Just looking for a level stance. Nitto 35x11.50 tires with no rub or trimming required. See image. 1.5” higher in front. No bueno.

Any recommendations for a different lift to use up front? How long does it usually take to settle? It’s been 2 weeks hasn’t dropped a at all

 

With the TRD OR suspension, I did a 1.75 front and it was great looking. I found the ride a bit harsh, mainly in the rear. When I put the 1” Westcott spacers in the rear. What a difference that made, the rear moves now and I am still close to level. This is better when towing as well.

 

Cornfed makes a 1” front that looks great without touching the rear.

 

This is route I took too and like it....we shall see when the new tires come if I need to go full blown setup

 

Am also just looking to do 1" cornfed in front. Have any pictures?

Thanks!

 

Am just looking to go 1" cornfed up front as well. Any Pictures?

Thanks

 

Like that look as well. Thinking I'm going this route. Appreciate the picture!
