Leveling kit for 2015 Limited
 
Please excuse me in advance for this rookie question.
Looking to level out the front of my 15 LE and put some TRD Pro wheels on. Can anyone suggest what leveling kit would be good and if the rear needs anything? Thanks!

Thank you sir. Actually sifted through most of those which confused me a bit more. Im hoping to use simple spacers on the front only. Toyotec seems to be the preferred brand, but will the spring need to be compressed or not? Couldnt find the right answer to that question. Also need to know which height (1.5,2,2.5") for that even look.

Best lift or spacer kit for mainly urban driving with a little off roading

Lift or Leveling options

What to expect from spacer lift ( Daystar)

Cornfed 1" front spacer to level only...

Cornfed ones don't require strut disassembly. They go on top of the strut. I run the 1" in front only and it's about perfect.

Drives fines, caster is OK, rides the same, looks better, cheap and easy install.

Note that the "1" lift spacer" really only measures a half inch but gives a 1" difference due to the IFS suspension setup.

I had this Toytec spacer installed when Toyota replaced my xreas. TOP1-T Front Top Plate Spacer Kit It gave me one inch lift and makes the 4runner look much better.

Nice thing about doing the cornfed 1" is that it uses the stock studs. You just get different nuts with the kit. Easier install.

I just used this because my dealer installs a lot of toytec lifts and deals with them a lot. The struts were disassembled anyways.

Did you do an alignment after the install ?

Yes. Didn't really need it though. I always would just to double check

Here's mine with the Cornfed 1" in front and loaded the way I usually travel for work - about 100-150 lbs in the rear. Bring the wife and a kid or 2 on a trip and their gear and it sits completely flat real quick, almost to the point of being low in the rear. It's a good place to be. Glad I didn't go higher in front unless I was messing with the back too.

I used a cornfed 1" spacer lift up front on our '15 Ltd., drives more like a truck with the chin up a bit from stock, still has a bit of rake so the rear isn't lower when fully loaded, install was a breeze, do get an alignment after though.

Take a look at the Eibach kit. Looks great with pro wheels.

I went with a full suspension kit since I didn’t like the idea of using spacers and it’s sitting perfectly levelled now.

You can’t go wrong with the Eibach kit. It looks so good and rides even better. Personally, I wouldn’t go with spacers. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e364a5e324.jpg
