2015 Leveling Kit / Rear Sag

[CaptainJJD]

So I installed a 2.5" leveling kit on my 2015 4R and loved the look but after about 6 months it looks like the front is higher than the back. Anyone have the same issue? Is there a different kit i should look into or is there something i can add to the rear? Thanks in advance for any help

2.5 won't level it, if you keep the rear untouched you should only raise the front about .85.
If you did the back too you will need to lift it 1.5.
Loads and settling of the new bits will sometimes make you nose high. A winch or bumper will pull it down some with the added weight.

Upgrade the rear coils if you just did a spacer lift in the front..

I did the 2.5"/1" Cornfed spacers. I'm a bit nose high as well so I think I'm going to order some 1.75" rear spacers and take the 1" out. This is what it currently is at with the 2.5" front and 1" rear spacer.

If you did 2,5 up front and did not raise the rear, you did not level, you gave yourself reverse rake which looks terrible.

I leveled my 4Runner with 5100's set at .85 up front. If I went 1.75 I would have had to add 1" rear spacer to level. You went 2.5 which would mean you need at least 1.75 rear spacer.

People always look at the fenders, which is just wrong for leveling. Look at the frame, I bet yours has crazy reverse raked.

Ya, the reverse rake on the OP's has to be crazy high. There is a bit of reverse rake on mine currently, but I think I'm gonna order a 1.75" spacer tomorrow to make it right.

For the trouble you would go through to put spacers on the rear, it would be just as effective to change the coils. OME has a pretty good selection that would cover just about anything you want to do. It'll be slightly more expensive ($170 for the set), but well worth it in the end.

I currently have toytec 2.5" spacers up front and originally ran 1" Cornfed spacers in the rear. I had a slight reverse rake as you can see in this photo.

The reverse rake bothered me especially after I seen the rear sag a lot while the truck was in motion. I decided to swap the stock spring/spacer set up and replaced it with the 2" Toytec superflex springs.
This is how my rig sits now. The rear is a bit higher but I no longer have that "soggy ass" look lol.

Topteam-I talked to your prior to putting those spacers in and you gave me some great insight on them. Did you have to get new shocks with the ToyTec springs or just get the springs with standard shocks? That rake is perfect by the way.

I'm currently running stock shocks and struts at the moment. Although, I'm setting some cash aside to save up for bilstein 6112 struts and 5100 shocks.

Have you noticed any difference in ride quality vs the stock springs? I think I will go ahead and order the 2" lift Toytec springs for the rear to correct the reverse rake.

Yes, the toytec springs are much stiffer and the stock shocks don't have enough travel to allow the springs to fully flex. Though it doesn't bother me since I'm on road 99% of the time. So yeah, the ride quality did get a slight bit rougher but if my wife and 2 kids haven't complained then it's tolerable lol

Here's a front shot that shows the level.

That looks sharp!.

TOPTEAM, on the rear, are you only running the 2 inch springs or are you still running a spacer with the springs?
