Reason for lifting the front higher than the back?

Why are people lifting the front higher than the back? I see lift kits 3" in front and 1" in back

 

It's called a "California" style lift and people do it for looks.

 

Yes, there is a reason: stupidity.

This is more than likely called a leveling kit. Most trucks come with 2" more lift in the rear from the factory

 

It's done to impress the Brosephs and the Bronitas.

 

Bc bro lean

 

It's a "levelling" kit. The back end of trucks naturally sit higher than the front because the leafs have to have some travel in them to accommodate a load. On tacomas, the back end is usually 2" higher, so 3 inches in front and 1 inch in the back +2 stock makes +3 all around.


A completely different thing most here are mentioning is the "Cali Bro lean" which is where you have the front stanced higher than the rear ostensibly due to long travel arms up front. BUT...some people lift the truck in the front only to replicate the look because...

 

Douchebag look is in style.

 

Gives it a nice “bro lean.” Some people like it with some rake, others Leveled. Just pick what you want. No real benefit to bro look on everyday use. I like a little rake so that when I’m fully loaded I still look somewhat leveled and not sagging out back. Just keep in mind if you go bro look that your headlights will be pointing up at other drivers. Gotta make some adjustments.

 

But it looks dumb af.

 

It's more of 2" rake.

 

Right, that is the proper term for it!

 

Your red Sport looks bomb.

 

Thanks man! haha it has the lean we're talking about in this thread..

Waiting to lower the front 2". The back is lowered 3.5" right now

 

I'm guessing this is your "street" truck?

 

Bingo! Supercharged daily driver/pavement pounder
