2010 Tacoma Regular cab Leveling Kit?

[Cody E]

I recently purchased a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Regular cab 4x4. I'm not sure how many inches in the front it will take to make the truck completely level. When I was younger I had a 2001 taco and put 2.5" and it was noticeably higher in the front. I was disappointed. So if y'all could please help. Also I want to keep the rear end stock. I've seen 2" 2.5" and 2.75" for my year. So I just need some recommendations. Thanks y'all!

Billy 5100s and set them at the .85 setting.

Thank you! So you wouldn't go with the actual metal blocks?

 

[whippersnapper02]

No. Never use spacer lifts. They usually always make the ride worse and they can cause suspension damage.

Blocks would ruin your ride. Stay away

I kind of want to stay cheap so what would be the best route without any damage or issues?

 

[whippersnapper02]

5100 are cheap enough. Remember that you get what you pay for. You just bought a nice truck so don't ruin it with cheap mods.

$200 for the 5100s: http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-1...le-shocks-05-2014-w-optional-rear-shocks.html

Thank y'all so much I think I'm going to buy the shocks they seem great. Are they hard to adjust?

 

[whippersnapper02]

You have to pull them off the truck and pull them apart to do the adjustment so you have to choose where you want the lower mount to be before you install it.

And you said .85 should level it? Btw thank you so much for all the advice!

 

[whippersnapper02]

.85 should but every truck is different. A good way to figure out where you want the front of the truck to sit is to use a jack on the front. Measure hub to fender as I on a level ground. Lift the truck to where you want it to sit and measure again.

I install a complete kit leveling dynastars 2.5 "front and 1" rear and gives a great look and the rear is still a bit more higher than the front

This is my 14 Tacoma... With a 3 inch lift.... The only thing I don't like is that there is a slight bounce in the front when you take off.

 

[PinkTaco]

Mine bounces on stock suspension then again its standard

I reeeeeealy like those wheels! Is yours the Grey tacoma? I can't tell by the picture. I think those would look good on mine too. Where did you get those?

 

[low key]

Where did you get that great looking light bar from? Nice truck!

This just shows how little you know. Spacers WILL retain factory ride. Installing Bilsteins are great no doubt but there is no settling with spacers. As long as your spacers stay within the 2inch limit, there is no harm done to the truck. Leveling a truck even with Bilsteins will cause wear on ball joints.
