Hey guy. I recently purchased a 2" leveling kit for my 2016 Tacoma trd sport. Just the blocks you pit on top of your shocks. The only problem is it appears as tho my truck already sits level. Does the sport come level? Id hate to install the blocks only to find out the truck now sits higher in the front. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The rear should be higher. Trucks are designed this way so they don't sag too bad with payload.
Get on flat, level ground and measure frame to ground, front and rear. That will tell you how much "rake" you have.
If you have owned it from new and it sits level, you most likely have worn springs. If you bought it used, it's not uncommon for people to remove a rear leaf or two to level it. Do this and it will sag badly with cargo.
On my 2019 Tacoma, you have to look real close to see the rake. My buddy raised his front 1.5 inch's and when he sat next to mine, you could see how his was level and mine wasn't.
