2023 TRDOR Leveling Project

[airems]

So I didn't like the way my stock4Runner sat with the "nose down" rake. I knew it was a 2" less rake on the front. I didn't do much reasearch and purchased and had installed a 2 1/2" top of the struts kit. It also came with "diff drop." Now it sits higher in the front than the rear. Measuring from the bottom of the wheel trim on level ground the front measures 37.5" and the rear 37.0" Guess I didn't need that extra 1/2". So I ordered the 2" kit and hope that fixes the "nose high" look. Any comments?

Do you plan to carry cargo and or other passengers?

I did a front level but only 1". I wanted a little bit of a rake to take into consideration load weight from passengers or cargo. If you are perfectly level and start to add weight, you may get the reverse rake look. On the other hand, if you will always plan to drive alone and never load the rear with any cargo being perfectly level would be fine I would think.
