Searched and saw twstrchasr asked ~ 1.5 years ago but no answer: Is there a leveling kit for the 200? If not, would the Tundra versions work (e.g. ReadyLift strut extensions)? Looks like the rear would be fine for a ~ 275/70R18, but assume the front requires some altitude.
 
I'm not sure if there is a spacer option available. I purchased one for the Tundra sometime back, and it never worked.

Either adjustable coilovers or longer spring and shocks. Guess you could fab a spacer together too.

I've got 2" lift in the front and 275/70/18 winter rubber...it still rubs on the mudflap on full turn. The biggest challenge to a 200 is trying to fit larger tires. Bump stops, suspension, cutting, rolling and possibly a body lift would all be necessary for 35s.
 
Last month there was a leveling kit available for the LC at 4wheelparts online catalog, but today, that part is gone. Did they stop making it, or maybe they never made it in the first place?? They do show a kit for the Tundra, will it work for a LC200? Their site is a not accurate though (and seems to be down a lot too) because I specifically asked for a 2009 Tundra, and you can see in the screen shot I attached, it reads 2007 Tundra.

Level Lift Strut Spacer

Chimyz - is this the one you tried on your LC?

No, I can't remember the brand name, but it looked similar.
 
Now I think I recall Christo making a comment while/after doing one of the first 200 builds that the struts were 'beefier' than the Tundra...which probably explains why this isn't one of those interchangeable (aftermarket) parts. *Bing* There ya go, Sir...fab/design & outsource a 200 strut spacer (~ 1.5", please :D) for us posers in the group to run 33's!

Suppose 2" (stock load) front springs would theoretically level it...though I personally like ~ 1" of rake.

Showing up here because I've pretty much (re-)decided I need (read: want) to swap the Tundra for a 200 when feasible...wife (and thus baby) doesn't like to drive it (too big), the 80 drives too 'truckish' for her (and not enough safety nannies for her & baby for my new tastes) and life has worked out to where I don't really need a pickup...or a 5.7 for that matter, thus my other question about the 4.6 ever being available in the LC. Figure the 200 could be a 'do-everything' family/hauling girls' crap/currently unforeseen tow rig that I'll want forever, I'll keep the 80 as a 2nd because it's paid for, I still love it and it'll last forever at its current clip.

Thus endeth thinking-out-loud time. :cheers:
