Hey i have an 08 tacoma 4dr extended bed.
i see these leveling kits out there,
what exactly are they used for and would i benefit from getting one

thanks

 

You will notice that the front of your truck is lower than the rear. By that I mean, the space between the top of your tires and the wheel well. If you plan on running larger tires, than yeah it would be a good idea to have some kind of lift. I don't like spacers though, which is all a leveling kit really is.

 

Hey thanks for the info, I saw 43 views and you the only one that gave some info..I appreciate that.

thanks

 

Sometimes it take a little more views to get the info you need...

Like AppleJack said a leveling Kit is a spacer lift. I went that route on my '05, price was great but I ended up having to do an add a leaf in the rear to bring up the rear. The Leveling Kit 'leveled' it too much. My '05 is my 5th Toyota truck over the last 21 years. Toyota rear springs have a tendency to sag with time. If you intend on going bigger tires, do it right with a real lift kit. I will eventually be doing some Camburgs or something up front....

 

No problem! That's what we're all here for.
Good Luck!

4wheelonline that Psalm gave the link to is where I bought my Skyjacker lift at. I recommend them.

Aren't there leveling lifts for Toyota that use springs instead of spacers? I know for some other brands that use springs that there are leveling kits that use springs.
