Peak 1.25” leveling kit

[Devildog81]

If you got the Peak 1.25” front leveling kit on your truck please post a pic. Been searching online to see some trucks leveled with this kit, but haven’t found much.

I'm planning on the peak 2.25" front and 1" rear. Hope the rear will still be level with a canopy and tent on.

I have the peak 1.25” front leveling spacer on the way. I’ll post pics when installed.

I would also like to see what the 1.25 spacer on the front does to the rake. Before and after pics would be great.

Tell me does anyone know if you have to do an alignment after installing the spacer. I thought you ended up loosening the lower control arm in order to install. Wondering if you could just mark the location of the lower control arm cam bolt and retighten.

Always need an alignment when changing ride height

Here is a quick one of the 1.25" spacers. i have the 2.5" lift, but haven't installed it yet. I like the spacers. It leveled the truck well.

Did leveling the front drop mpg at all?

None that I noticed. The larger tires obviously did.

I like that look. Did you have to do a wheel alignment after adding the spacers?

I have ordered the Peak Suspension Lower Spring Adapter so I can still get and inch or so and still be able to put the Ikon Tacoma, coilover top plate reinforcement kit on for good measure.

Your going to want to get a alignment af

leveled it out pretty good, left maybe 1/2-1” of rake by the looks of it?

Here's my truck with the 2.25" kit at the front and 1" rear. Still has a bit of rake to it.
A canopy would definitely level it (depending on how heavy the set up is, it might even get the rear lower than the front, due to how "soft" the stock rear springs are)

This looks great. How's the ride?
I see what you're saying with the rake. I will have a tent on in the summer so may have to reconsider if I do the 1" or 2". I wouldn't describe the rear springs as soft on my hybrid so I'm wondering if its potentially a different spring for the battery weight.

A quick glance at a toyota parts diagram for the rear suspension and it looks like there are two different part numbers for the springs, so they could be different rates depending on drivetrain?

Maybe my definition of "soft" is different than yours haha. My truck loaded with gear and a small Kendon motorcycle trailer hooked up, its uncomfortably close to the bump stops (before the 1" Peak rear spacer). I have yet to go to a track day with the trailer since the lift was installed.

As for ride quality, I didn't test drive the truck with the lift + stock wheels and tires. So i couldnt get a direct comparison on the change in ride quality without other contributing factors.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) my truck is now on 34's and it definitely rides like its on 34's on 30psi road pressures lol

Thanks for the insight.
