2 in Leveling Lift Kits Fit for Tacoma Front Strut Spacers - 2 in Lift

Our review of the 2 in leveling lift kit for Tacoma, 4Runner and FJ Cruiser finds it best suited to owners who want a modest, reliable front lift to improve stance and fit slightly larger tires. The kit raises the truck roughly 2 in in the front and is forged from aircraft-grade aluminum billet with 10.9 grade bolts, so the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a heavier-duty construction and a clean, aggressive look that fits multiple Toyota platforms. Installation is straightforward for a mechanically comfortable DIYer and an alignment is recommended after fitting.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits 2005-2023 Tacoma 2WD and 4WD with 6-lug hubs, 2003-2024 4Runner (non-XREAS) and 2007-2015 FJ Cruiser, so it covers most common Toyota models for a consistent front lift.
• Front Lift Height: Raises the truck about 2 in in the front, providing extra ground clearance and room for slightly larger tires while keeping factory ride geometry largely intact.
• Material and Safety: Forged from aircraft-grade aluminum billet and secured with 10.9 grade solid bolts, offering a strong, corrosion-resistant assembly for rough use.
• Finish: Powder coated black to resist corrosion and maintain a tidy appearance under the hood over time.
• Appearance: The spacers give an aggressive, billet-machined look to the front end, improving stance without swapping springs or shocks.
• Support: Comes with a 30-day refund and 12-month parts replacement policy, so buyers have short-term protection after purchase.

Who It's For

This leveling kit is aimed at Tacoma, 4Runner and FJ owners who want a subtle front lift to achieve a more aggressive stance, gain modest ground clearance, and fit slightly larger tires without a full suspension overhaul. It is a practical option for daily drivers and light off-road enthusiasts who prefer a bolt-on solution delivered in durable, machined metal.

It is less appropriate for owners with XREAS-equipped 4Runners or anyone who needs a large lift or who wants to change spring rates and ride characteristics significantly; those users should consider full suspension kits or professional shop-installed systems and always plan for a post-install alignment.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid construction from aircraft-grade aluminum and high grade bolts makes the kit feel durable and reliable.
• Easy to install for a competent DIYer, with clear directions reported by buyers.
• Improves front stance and allows room for slightly larger tires while maintaining a clean look.
• Powder coated finish improves corrosion resistance and keeps the parts looking good.

Cons

• Lift is approximately 2 in but due to suspension geometry the effective ride height can differ, and one customer reported about 1.5 in actual change.
• An alignment is required after installation, adding time and extra cost.
