Default Tuff Country Leveling Kit?

I have searched many threads regarding leveling kits and possible cons of them, but have not been able to find any specific information/reviews regarding the Tuff Country Leveling Kit (product#52901). I am only looking to level out the front of my Tundra but do not want to gamble on voiding my warranty (only have 12,000m on it). I have contacted my local Toyota dealership and they said that a 2" leveling kit "should not be a problem."

If anyone has any info. (pros/cons) specific to this Tuff Country leveling kit; it would be greatly appreciated if you could share your experience. I do a majority of highway driving, so I probably will not be looking at getting the more expensive coilovers. Basically, I just want the more aggresive look!

I would also like to thank everyone on TS for the invaluable information that you have shared. I have learned so much about my Tundra and greatly appreciate all of your help!

have it 2" tuff country, works fine to just level the truck, draw back use of spring compressor, it preloads the spring so the front is a little stiff. theres a billet spacer kit that does not require dismantling the spring I would go for that.

I have an 03 AC and I have the Tuff Country leveling kit. I didn't notice any difference in my suspension from when it was factory. I love it and it was just enough lift to add some new Wrangler silent armour tires that are 285/75/16. I would reccomend to anyone

Thanks for all the responses so far. Can anyone possibly provide a picture of their truck with this leveling kit? Just trying to get an idea.

Would the BFG stock tires (265/70/16) be too small for this level kit? I wouldn't be able to get a whole new set of tires at the same time of the lift, and I wouldn't want to be driving around on the stocks if it would look silly.

I don't think they will look bad but you'll definitely want bigger, this is my tundra with OEM 265/70/16 my new tires are 285/50/20 they are about 1" taller tires.

I'm not sure but coil overs are themselves a lift, a 2.5 spacer lift added to coil overs would totally screw up you're suspension geometry longer control arms would be required drop brackets if 4x4 not a good idea at all. Most people that want to go real hi go with a combo suspension and body lift I'm sure it has been discussed try a search. thanks for the complement.
