Default Question regarding Toytec 2" front lifts.

I recently purchased the 2" front lift, and a front diff drop kit.

Does anybody have pictures with the 2" spacers lift designed for front leveling without lifting the rear.

I am considering returning, and going with 2.5" with rear block kit.

if i stay with the 2" will my front end sick up While pulling my dirt bikes and my gear in the back of the truck.

Thanks exc200

Measure your front and back fender wells. You will probably find 36" front, 39.5" rear stock. Adding just 2" to the front you will still have rake, just not as much as stock. I added 4" to the front of mine and only 2.25" to the rear, but my back is still 1" higher than the front when empty. When you look at my pictures, though, it's not as obvious as a stock truck there is still a difference in height front to rear.

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), just swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5."

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."

Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.

After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.

Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.

Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.

Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.

Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.

Just jack your front by 2" and you can see it on your own truck. I did a lot of experimenting like that before settling on the lift I have.
