Bonus time: Want new wheels and leveling kit

[glocke12]

Bonus time is coming up, and I am thinking of spending a little and changing things on my 2025 TRD ORP.

The silver trim on the wheels is wheely starting to stand out like a sore thumb to me, and am thinking of upgrading to the all black TRD Pro wheels, but am willing to consider other options, so feel free to throw out some suggestions.

The second thing I'd like to change is to get rid of that front rake and level things out. Based on what I've been reading here the wescott leveling kit is the one to get.

Is this the correct kit to level out the front end to the same height as the rear: 2025-toyota-4runner-6th-gen-front-only-preload-collar-lift-kit

I feel you. Here's our ORP before and after. You can also take your fugly wheels and have them powder coated satin black and they'll look amazing. Check out the 4th Gen Tacoma Pre Runner that has the same wheel finished completely black. I also installed the Westcott Lift

could try swaping someone that doesnt like the gloss black wheels on the platinum or other trim.

the wife is not a fan of the gloss black wheels, needs some color to break up the look. i dont mind them but not really fond of gloss black on the platinum. but i am cheap so i live with it

@glocke12 If you are looking to level your truck, I'm not sure the "front only" preload collar lift kit will get you what you want.

I'm in conversations with a local Toyota/Lexus Off-Road shop (8Runner) and they suggest to clients to get the full 2.5" front/.75" rear preload collar lift kit: https://westcottdesigns.net/product/2025-toyota-4runner-preload-collar-lift-kit/

It seems you'd risk a reverse rake if you only lifted the front.

Assuming you install the full front/rear kit, if you still want to keep a slight rake, you can optionally exclude the front top 1/2" spacer from your install that comes with the kit (that's what I'm planning on doing per the shop's recommendation). Why leave the front top 1/2" spacer out? Because if the truck is level, theoretically, any weight added toward the rear could cause a reverse rake which I'd like to avoid.
