Neighbor ... I hope that you are still reading. The other guys mean well, but are off the mark. This kit is the leveling system for use with the air bag system which is sold separately. If you buy this kit and nothing else .... the answer to your question is zero. The best thing for you to do is contact AirLift, tell the rep about your vehicle and what your goal is. He'll tell you what to buy. The rep is not a salesman. Get the list of parts and shop for the best price. That's almost always Amazon. No .... I don't own any Amazon stock or work for Amazon. I'm just a fat, little, 74yo man who has been working on his own cars and trucks forever. If you decide to strike out on your own you'll be spending more money than needed and maybe endangering the lives of you and your loved ones. thanks, your neighbor, ron :-)

The weight and hauling should remain the same. The air bags help keep the truck level with a softer ride and more control. I have a 12,000 lb 5th wheel that will drive the rear of the truck down 3 to 4 inches so it rides stiff. With the bags it drives down the road even better than it did without the coach. The load on the 5th wheel in the bed is about 2000lb. Because of the bags I could hold more but I'm pretty maximum now.

Your hauling weight will not increase. But you will find that your truck will handle and ride like it does when empty.

About 30 pounds, ti the curb weight. Hauling weight capabilites are limited to your tire rating and hitch rating.

Same odd thirty pounds for system: defined hitch limits and GVW for load limits. My experience is improved stability and control umder full range of towing and cargo. As is apporpriate at maxims something will fail, bend or break.

If you install this kit with the included springs I believe your pull will be about five pounds, and much smoother. I think you'll really appreciate the difference this kit makes. If you want to swap in a new set of sights this would be the time to do that too.

It should help a bit.. They raised my 2 whl drive and inch or so. It looked much better after the install without hurting the ride... The shocks are no harsher than oem

What's the displacement of your engine?If this is a diesel truck, I doubt this kit will work...

I wouldn't know if your truck would show a marked increase in power. I fitted this same product to my 1.8 liter Rover MGF and there is "some" improvement to performance. I understand I am getting about 5-6 extra horsepower. Not sure if that would be enough in a big truck like yours to show a marked improvement. From reading up about the 2.7 petrol Tacoma, they appear to be underpowered. Check with Toyota if you can fit a larger throttle body. The key is getting more (cooler) air into the engine.

Wouldn't try it, spend the extra money get a better set, after installation truck still wasn't level front a little lower. Plus instructions didn't work missed some steps

There is a increase in mpg. Not a huge amount but noticable, although I've never done the math.

sorry, but im not sure. this is just what popped up, when I put my truck year and model in, so I went with it. all I can say is, im glad I gambled $80 on these, cause they work great and saved me a lot of money!

Sure will! Also improves the shifting a bit. Nice solid shifts. These will last a long time compared to stock, that you have to replace every 6months or so.

Might not be much help, but I actually installed my kit this last weekend. I have 2013 crew cab with short bed. The kit leveled my truck perfect and exactly what I was looking for. After an alignment I really haven't been able to tell much of a difference with my ride, pretty much the same for me. Hope that helps, good luck!

This kit does not raise the vehicle. This is a conversion kit to convert from the expensive air suspension to a normal coil spring suspension. The vehicle will be at the original factory ride height with this kit installed.

This kit will not come out more then the factory exhaust. You may want to consider purchasing a longer tip for the kit which will extend the exhaust out past the quarter panel.

It will give a gain in power to help with towing you may see an increase in mpg as long as driving style stays the same it dose have a programs from towing on it or like me a cold air intake and from what I can tell is it has helped with going up will not shifting as much and still getting 19 unloaded and about 15 with the bed full of wood

It all depends on how you mount it to your truck. Bolting it gives the standard 15,000 pound but welding it and bolting it raises it to 18,500. The biggest issue is bolting it to the correct place on the frame centered over the axle! I had 3 different choices with my F350.

Go to air lifts website and look up your truck so you know your buying the correct one

Hey. Check ready lift.com. I can tell you though if this does fit your truck it looks absolutely incredible and rides smooth as always. Good luck.
