There are a lot to choose from. RevTek is a pretty good choice for a good price.

Welcome to this wonderful Forum!

Last I checked $185 on up.
I had a Readylift put in along with a differential drop kit ($20).
If you are going to spend the money, (and if I were to do it again), I think I would look at a 3" lift to be able to fit bigger tires on down the road (so to speak).
Be advised though, even with only a leveling kit, you are going to need a step of somekind. I'm 6'4" and it was a big step without running boards.

It lowers the front differential to keep the front drive components to the front wheels closer to factory alignment.
Some kits include a spacer for the skid plate. It's a $20 kit from Fat Bobs.

Heres a link for the Truxx 3/1.

Fat Bob's Garage: Toyota Tundra 3" Front 1" Rear Lift Kit 2007-2008 (5-lug)

If you decide on this, in the promo code us "hero" for more savings if it still works.

The front took about an hour and half for install. Check the thread on toxarch install and watch the video which makes it much simplier install. Also the spacers keep the dif in the same position as they were. It also has 3 spacers dropping the skid 1/2 in.

I used the Truxxx lift and level kit (3" front/ 1" rear) and have been happy with it. I think it actually improved the ride a bit (slightly firmer) and had minimal modifications to do to the mudflaps. I had it re-aligned 1000 miles after the lift was installed and have another 1200 miles on it since then (total of about 2200 miles on the lift). This allowed room for the 305/65R18, but ended up with 35x12.50R18 Kumho's.

what did you have re-aligned at 1000 miles (lift/tires)?????? And i was looking into the truxxx lift and ended up ordering myself one. But everything that i read said that you could go up to 33" tires but i see your using 35". You don't have any problems with rubbing????
