Default Level 00 Tundra

What is the best way to level a '00 Tundra. I have heard a few options. A friend told me to get longer springs. I also saw a leveling kit that are just spacers. Then I when to ORW and the guy there said that they had problems with how the leveling kits ride, so he suggested set of adjustable coilovers. He said it would give the front end a 2-4 inchs and you can adjust to how you like it. I only need 2inchs, any more than that and the front will be higher than the bed...
Any Suggestions

It depends on what you want to do. If you just want to level for show, use the spacers. They're cheaper. If you want to level and lift for possible offroading, go with an adjustable coilover for better performance.

Either one will firm up your ride, though a coilover is more adjustable.

If you're running a 4x4, be aware that lifting the front will cause your CV boots to leak.

Don't do it if you trailer anything. It'll ride funky.

How hard is it to install the Cornfed spacers by yourself? What is the process?
Thanks

My tundra is a 2wd. I don't do any off roading. If and when I get into that, I'll get a 4x4. I just don't like the stock look with the lower front end, so its just for show. I was thinking the spacers were the way to go until the guy at ORW told me that they had problems with the way they ride. The ads for the spacers that I have seen say they keep the stock ride. So I was looking for a unbiased opinion...

Thanks...

Try and find a set of new/take off TRD coils.
The TRD coils alone may give you the look you want.
If that doesn't give you enough lift a set of HD Bilsteins in the front will bumped it up another 1" or so.
I would stay away from spacers.

Do you have a V6 or V8?

I don't think the TRD coils alone with lift the V8 2".
HD Bilsteins and the coils should work.
