levelling daystar question

[montanaT4R]

I purcased a daystar 2.5" spacer lift. I wasn't able to install myself however found a shop that will do the front and fix the bolt i stripped for 100 bucks. Will that level my 2006 out? seems like, looking at the wheel wells, that the front is about 2.5" lower...is that accurate? Would think that installing the spacers on the front only would level it. I have the ones for the rear, however, i think i'm going to get some airbags instead for towing.

Thanks

I DO NOT recommend measuring from the tire to wheel well. They are not the same size wells to begin with. Measure the height from the ground to the front and back of the running board.

I think making the wheel wells look even is silly looking because then the front end of the car is higher than the rear.

Honestly, 1.5" lift in the front would be perfect. Then if you want to life the hole car more make the fron 2.5" and the rear 1".

well i already have 2.5" spacers. so...going to do 2.5 in the front. Hopefully won't look "silly." I plan to order airbags for the rear which from what i've read on this forum, inflated will lift the rear near 1". Personally i don't really mind if the front is a bit higher than the rear. Earlier model 4runners always were a bit higher in the front. They had that "sag" in the rear.
