Lift/Leveling advice

[cmdr430]

I am over researching this to no end.... Google and this forum are my enemy, not my friend....


I have no real intentions of off roading more than driving on my local beach,and maybe a camping trip here or there...

I am looking at these 2 kits

3" lift / leveling kit for FJ & 4Runner - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

and

Daystarâ„¢ - Driven by Design

Both may be more than I need, but they seem to provide the desired leveling effect I am looking for.

I would rather just add a spacer kit to the front but, I can't seem to find a concrete answer as to which front kit provides the most level appearance.

Any advice on just the front kits?

Help!

Cmdr, from what I have seen going through the plethora of posts and photos on this forum, in addition to my own experience, the difference between the "look" of the finished product (between the two kits you listed) is negligible. The Toytec kit has aluminum front spacers and the Daystar has poly front spacers. The poly spacers probably provide a tad more cushion, but might lose some height over time. Either way, you will still probably have about a .5 inch of rake.

Leveling

If not a huge out lay of cash & you need new shocks also just put 5100s adj n front & back , only front are adj . 4 setttings done 400$ from toytec o course install is more $$

Running the spacer setups is fine for daily driver and light Offroad. If you want a slightly used setup (2k miles) pm me.

I installed the Daystar 1" budget boost front only, it gave a little over 1.5" of lift. It leveled my 4Runner with just a very slight rake, you would have to measure it to see it though. Looking at it, it looks level. Very easy mod.

Check my sig for a leveling lift. It's an ebay item that's a 2" lift and it's about as level as you'll get milled from an aluminum block. It's a quality piece and I've had it on for 30k miles now with no issues. My thread has instructions and pictures.
