Need a Spot

Hi
New to the board, I have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma prerunner with a Tuffcountry 5 inch lift. My front end sits about 1 inch lower, Can I use a spacer to level this out ? Not sure if you could mix kits like that. I don't do any offroading mainly just street use. Thanks in advance

If it were me, I would leave it alone. For ~1", any small load in the back will level it out. Most trucks I know of do sit a little lower in the front due to the idea that the truck will be loaded and bring it back level or beyond. I actually lifted the back of mine more so that when it has the normal load I haul everyday that it sits slightly above level and more load on occasion keeps it looking good.

If you choose to level it out, be careful in mixing kits. If there ends up an issue, one mfr will blame the other and so on.
