    Default Front lift

    Just trying to get the front end level with the rear. Have looked at the Bilstein Adjustables 5100's that others have posted about but would like to keep it simple and something that could be done in the my garage. Saw this TUNDRA LIFT. would like to hear any pro or con comments Thanks

    That 2" lift the first one is an excellent choice, no spring compressor required doesn't preload the springs to maintain stock ride, you cant beat the price, I used Tuff country 2" lift, and required a spring compressor, I dint mind because I changed the struts, if I ever change it again I will use this kit.

    are there any downfalls to it being aluminum, or is that better? How do spacers affect the ride of the tundra?

    for the money spacers are the cheapest route. mine do not seem to affect ride quality at all and have been happy with the look. 1.25" will not fully level the truck. 2" probably would. I think the best option is adjustable coilover from billstein or deavers or the like. if i had money to burn woulda dropped some bucks on these. heard that the billstein is not that expensive. would be worth checking out. probably the easiest swap too.

    I measured and the difference is 2" needed for the front. What kind did you install? The Bilstein's would cost over $200.00 for a pair and alot more work since they have to be taken apart to install so they wouldn't be the easiest to do but if you need new struts then this would be the time to do it.

    None that I can see, compared to a polyurethane four piece spacer kit like tuff country and daystar.
