Product Overview
A small front lift is commonly chosen to reduce the factory nose-down stance, regain visual balance after normal suspension settling, or create modest tire and ground-clearance room. This kit changes front ride height without replacing the complete strut assembly on compatible vehicles.
A stated lift height does not equal spacer thickness, and suspension geometry changes after installation. Alignment, tire clearance, CV angles, headlamp aim, and modified-suspension compatibility must be checked.
Key Features & Performance
- Raises the front stance approximately 1 inch on approved applications
- Helps reduce factory rake for a more level appearance
- Retains factory-style front strut arrangement
- Compact suspension upgrade for compatible Toyota platforms
Common Uses
- Reducing the factory nose-down appearance
- Balancing stance after accessory or suspension changes
- Creating modest additional front clearance
- Refreshing the look of a stock-height truck or SUV
