Leveling Kits vs Lifts Kits for the Toyota 4Runner 2014+

Toyota 4Runner 2014+ is a midsize SUV endowed with features that make it a comfortable ride for long adventures. This SUV is durable, reliable with impeccable offroad capabilities, and has a rugged exterior that can withstand anything making it a great ride to have if you are an everyday driver or an adventure seeker. Despite their praiseworthy features, 4Runners have one issue in common; driver side lean, which as you might have seen is when the SUV leans to the driver’s side. The reason for this is that Toyota 4Runners have both the battery and gas tank on the driver side which adds the weight on that side.

The aftermarket industry is knows for providing products that perform better than stock, and even correct the design features like the driver side lean that could be a nuisance for drivers. The easier way to correct the driver side lean is by using an adjustable suspension, and I know this may leave you with more questions than answers seeing that the lift kits and leveling kits are popular upgrades for owners of the 4Runner. Well, lift kits are first of all a bit pricy than leveling kits and they are used to lift the whole vehicle. Lift kits usually increase ground clearance, which allows the vehicle to navigate rough terrain or accommodate larger tires. A lift kit is traditionally over 3″ and a high-quality one will involve a lot more than a spacer up front.

Leveling kits on the other hand, are used to level the truck/SUV factory “rake”, where the front sits lower than the rear. If you are not using your 4Runner for towing or carrying heavy loads, using the leveling kit to level stance between the front and rear of the truck provides some performance advantages when it comes to how the vehicle handles.

When the lift kits involves installing taller springs, spacers, or other components to lift the SUV, leveling kits may involve spacers, torsion keys, or other adjustments. A typical leveling kit will provide the additional ride height to the front suspension to match the rear. This is usually 1 – 2.5″. If your SUV has a driver-side lean and you would love to fix that, we have couple suspension upgrades recommendations for you.
