Anyone have issues with having to get the truck recalibrated after 1.5” in the front and 33s?

I have the rc lift kit sitting in the back of my 4 runner for over two months now lol. I'm debating on getting a westcott designs instead. Has anyone had issues with alignment getting it back to factory specs?

You mean the 1/2 spacer from Westcott? I been looking at their front leveling kit that one and then I see the others that are bigger for the front to level like from rc or peak and can’t decide lol

They have a preload collar lift kit 2.5 in the front and .75 in the rear. I feel like if I went with westcott I'd want new shocks lol

I was told a leveling kit will make the ride terrible and just to go for the full suspension lift. Has anyone experienced a different in ride once you've installed the 1.5" front leveling?

There wont be a difference in ride quality with a 1.5" / 2" spacer lift. The ride quality would however be worse after installing a preload collar lift as it compresses the spring more, stiffening the ride a bit.
In my opinion ( owning the TRD ORP ) the ride quality is crap from stock. The high speed compression is terrible, so on road driving can be jarring. Low speed compression/ rebound is ok , so the off road driving isnt to bad at all.

Hang tight as You may be waiting a while for the full suspension lifts to come out.
OME has one available, but no other reputable brands have a kit out yet.
Fox, eibach, and Bilstein and Toyota have yet to release suspension lift kits so far. I`m sure they are in the works though. Dont cheap out or you may regret it.

I have the 2" RC spacer lift. no issues with alignment being performed.
A wescott preload lift will result in a stiffer ride.

Got the 1.5” Rough Country done at Toyota dealership on my 2025 TRD Premium. Also had them throw on the TRD wheels, TRD cat back exhaust and full window tint all around. Love it so far!
