I cant find a leveling kit for my truck! Does anyone know where I can find them or if they are even available?

 

No one makes a "leveling kit" for our trucks.

Your best bet (and easiest to do) is to adjust the front torsion bars, and/or install extended rear leaf spring shackles.

 

I have seem ball joint spacers that would basically accomplish the same thing as tightening the torsion bars or a leveling kit, but I have read that you get better ride quality with the spacers since you do not have to put extra load on the torsion bars. I think 4Crawler sells them.

Usually these trucks 'level' themselves out when the rear springs sag.
Taking that into consideration, a full suspension lift is probably the way to go.

 

assuming you're talking about leveling the rear of your truck (since older toyotas are notorious for butt sag), there are several options to gain height. they all vary in cost as well as ride quality, load capacity, offroad flex, longevity, etc. you need to decide what your immediate goal is and possibly future plans if you're making an investment in your suspension.

the "proper" fix is to outright replace your leaf springs with new, but is also the most expensive option. other options are: re-arching your leafs, replace with used leafs, add leafs/mixed spring pack, longer shackles (1" length change = 0.5" height change), add-a-leaf helper spring, ZUK coil spring mod, airbags, air-adjustable shocks, lift blocks, etc.

 

i want to lift my 89 toyota pickup 3 inches in the front what is the cheapest way it is a 2wd 5 speed manual

 

Ball joint spacers.

 

Ball joint spacers will not work on a 2wd pickup because they have a different front suspension setup. Tightening the torsion bars will get you some lift, and there are aftermarket torsion bar setups designed to get you more lift. Lift spindles would be a better option.

 

4Crawler has been selling them for years.



You are right however, spindles would be a better option IMO if the guy is looking for 3" on a 2wd.

 

The ball joint spacers work to lift a 4wd truck, but not a 2wd truck. On 2wd trucks, the torsion bar is attached to the lower control arm, with the ball joint upside down compared to 4wd trucks. The 2wd spacer is so you can crank the torsion bar more while keeping the upper control arm in a better location.

We are sort of both correct, but great point supernerd.
