2005-2019 Toyota Tacoma Leveling Kit Install Lift Kit Front and Rear 

This is the best video I’ve seen on this. Everyone else makes it feel complicated. You took my son and I through step by step and made it look simple. We had fun working on the truck together.

Just want to tell you thank you. You was the only person to show how to install it on a 2wd. I started to return my parts back. Today I installed it on my 2012 tocoma xsp-x model Once again thank you

Doing this exact thing to my '15 Taco! So cool to see it done before crawling under there!!! Thanks for posting!!

This is the best video I’ve seen on this. Everyone else makes it feel complicated. You just took us through one by one and made it look simple. Thanks.

Just put this kit on today and had done research before. By far this is the best video on how to do it. Thanks for posting!

Hey just wanted to say thanks for the video! We followed it today taking off a low range spacer lift to back to stock on my 2015 Taco. "Reverse of install" was a little easier taking OFF the spacer pucks.

Pro tip don't order a cheaper kit on Amazon or ebay, ordered mine and it doesn't quite fit so it took 4 hours and some modification on top of swaybar removal to get one side done. Looks good once it's all on but man was it a pain. But this video is defiently great and shows everything you need to do to get the job done!

Putting a KSP leveling kit on my taco today. 3” up front, 2” in rear. You made me feel more confident doin it. If only I had a lift 😭

Amazing Video. Thanks for the step by step. I am definitely going to try this on my taco..please don't stop making videos

I was a little confused at how this was done but you really explained it well. Great job! Thx from Montreal...

Many thanks, Dude. I'm adding the same to my '09 Taco. Going to use this video to help. Nice job.

Thank you so much for the video! Awesome guidance on how to do this job step by step!

Great video, just did mine watching you! Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video. Super easy for the rears. Thank you very much.

Great detailed video dude can't wait to do my 05 taco now

This is one of the best DIY videos I've ever seen. I did front spacers on my 2020 4WD Tacoma this AM and it went just as you described. One note: If you go with a 2" front lift like I did the spacers blocks are about 1" thick (26.0mm actual) but the studs on the strut are 29.0mm long. The spacer won't seat against the bottom of the strut tower unless you take about 1/8" (4.0mm actual) off the studs.

Thanks dude you made it so simple and easy to understand.

You are great! Thank you Philip!

EXCELLENT VIDEO SIR. TO THE POINT WITHOUT ALL THE EXTRA BULLSHIT. I LOVE IT!

Your the MAN !!!!

I have been back and fore your video hundreds of time when doing it, thanks for the detailed instruction and my truck is beautifully done. One thing I encounter, the rear brake lines seems tensioned with the lift, I had to bend the brake line bracket bolted onto the spring lift, any comments? Thanks

Sir have you ever installed body lifts kits on a tacoma? if so how difficult are they to install on newer generation tacomas?

Hi Philip, first of all thanks for posting this video. I know it helps a lot of Taco owners who wants to do level/lift. Im thinking of installing just the 2” level kit for my 13 taco. My question is , with the 2” level kit for the front, do you think it will clear a 285 75 16 tire with the 16” OEM TRD OFF wheels i have right now.I asked a popular shop/garage in our area and the guy said that using oem wheels it will rub the UCA. Just want some opinion from knowledgeable person like you. Hope you can read this and share some of your ideas. Thanks for your time Philip !

Good explanation great job

Great video

Great video! Thanks!

Hi Phillip, I bought a 2006 Taco 4D 2WD PreRunner Sport and it was lifted 2"-3" on all wheels. The truck drives very rough, stiff and bumpy. The previous owner said this condition is normal since the truck was lifted. I don't see any spacers on the front shock absorbers, and there is 2-3" spacer blocks on the rear differential. The front and rear shock absorbers appear to be the stock bleistein shock absorbers. What do you think is causing the stiff suspension? If I want to undo the lift, aside from removing the rear block spacers, how do I restore the flexibility of the front shocks? Thank you very much. Your video is very comprehensive and easy to follow. Keep posting videos.

Great video G!

Thanks a lot very informative 👍

I’m running 5100s on the 3 inch section do you think running the spacers would put to much stress on both control arms?

Are the spacers supposed to come the size of the lift u want or r they a little smaller? I ordered 2.5" but their measurement is 1"1/4?

I have the same thing on my Tacoma TRD but I have a shaking in the starting wheel around 40 to 60 it’s been aligned was told to drive it a week come back to recheck balance. They lowers air from 35 to 30 per tire but I don’t think it right. Grapplers G2 At 285/70/16 any suggestions? To check thanks

So it lifted the truck up 2” ? How thick were the actual spacers for the rear ? I bought a tacoma and it has 2” thick spacers in the back . How much lift is that ? The front i know is not a 1-1 ratio but im not sure of the back

Great video!!

Well done!

Excellent video! Any idea what size tires those were?

Awesome vid only wish you did a before and after side by photo comparison. 👍

Thanks for posting this... Now I know I'm not doing this mod on my own!

You wouldn't happen to have a video like this for a 2016 ram 1500 RWD would you ? Great video BTW. Just finished doing the front end for my mom's tacoma. Doing the rear in a bit. Thinking of doing the same to my ram

Could i replace my stock strut with a 6 inch lifted strut and add the 3 inch leveling block on top? Definitely putting in some extended UCA’s with it.

Rad video!

By far the best video I have seen on how to do this. Clear and easy to follow. Nice job. Will be doing mine as soon as it gets a little cooler. Thanks. Can you tell me the brand of the rear and front kit?

hi there, what's is the best leveling kit's for 2019 sr5? thanks

Hola buenas tardes tengo una toyota tacoma 2005 2wd poniendo un kit parecido no afecta en nada los demas componentes de la suspencion gracias

Great video, getting ready to do this on my 2011 T4R. Also replacing struts/shocks and sway bar links. Was wondering if this would effect any shock, brake hoses or ABS wire lengths. Between the video and your Q&A you answered all my questions. Thanks!

Do you have to add spacer on carrier bearing to avoid vibrations and what kind of differential gear upgrade?

Thank YOU

hey man i installed the same 2 inches in front but my wheels are at an angle! what do you think is the problem?

Great job. And same work for the 1st gen?

So sick I like it

Damn this is a good video.

Do you have to swap the struts?

What Brand was your lift kit you installed?

Does this affect the TSS radar?

How do you compensate the space of absorption of the shock you take away with the spacer?

How much does it cost to get put on at a shop?

Do you need a alligment after this job. Reason I ask. I just finished getting a alligment and I plan on doing the same job at home

The stock shocks in the back can handle the height. Asking bc I have a 2 in front and 1 in block in the back and it alrdy feels like a stiffer ride. Just wondering if I got this route I’d have to buy longer shocks.

with these spacers, can I lift the front 2" with stock shocks?

Excellet.

Que bonita quedo

yo that ws tight

This isn't a 4X4 but would recommend a differential spacer kit for 4x4 models.

no nut has a specification of the pounds of pressure??

Does this kit fit a 2010 Tacoma V4 ?

are you sure this applies to 2wd tacoma my leaf springs sits bottom of differential

Is this safe I want to do it to my truck. It's a 2014 prerunner 2wd.

Mantap....👍👍🙏

we not just buy new and longer coil overs and shocks?

Hey i can see that you know what you are doing👍 Do you do this kind of job to customers or is your personal truck?

how much would you charge for this job? I have a 2nd gen tacoma and college student want to know how much (ballpark) I would need to save up to hire you or someone similar

My truck is now 1in higher in the front than the back after installing? Any idea why?

I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 2 WD 5 lugs I can use the same kit you use?

So after doing all the install did the truck need to get an alignement?

Did you have to extend the rear shocks?

What’s up with people talking about the differential drop? Is that necessary?

When I removed the U bolts and shocks and began to lower the axle the leaf pack moved with it as if it was seized or something any ideas on what I should do? It’s a 2019 Tacoma Trd Sport 2wd and also do you think I need to upgrade to longer shocks with a 2” block?

Does it matter if u do the front or the back first?

I put my spacers on but I have to rotate my strut 180 from the way they came off for the holes to line up.. is that OK,?

Torquing anything?

Hi Phillip, I have the same lift but Tacoma has a humming noise coming from the back, did multiple alignment and tire balance but it’s still there. Alignment say that the rear are 0.30 toe and -0.12 on the other side. Are my axle causing this issue? Thanks

can you post a link of that same lift kit ?

I put a lift kit on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma I hear a rubbing noise when I go under 10 miles and only do it when I slow down ??? sounds like it's coming from the front and it wasn't like that before!!

How much should a shop charge to do an install like this ?

I'm doing 3" inch shocks and springs in the front, and 2" in the back with new shocks

So did it only about 20 minutes to install or does it take longer for others?

Philly do mine bro I live in iowaaaaa

Is that shop located in Nawiliwili?

Is there wheel alignment required?

Similar to Chevy Colorado right 04 to 2012

Where did bought the kit...or where can you get it.

Won't Using a leveling kit as a lift kit for the front and rear make the ride of the overall suspension shitty?🤔

🔥🔥🇩🇴🇩🇴🔥🔥👍🏼

Where can I get this kit?

You got vibration with this ?

can you make fit 295 70 R17 tire Nitto terrain grappler on this kit

👍👊😘🙏🇵🇷 P.R.

Bro, use a torque wrench!

False advertising video. None of the ball joint came out that easy on my Tacoma with only 74k miles 😅

I know absolutely nothing about trucks, you think i would be able to install a spacer/block kit on my own with the help of RU-vid and not fuck my truck up ?
