How about "all the way in"? Do you have the full sentence where it was used?

No problem. "De lleno" can be used in many contexts to mean fully, completely, totally, etc.

I also agree...
de lleno = fully
se dedicó de lleno a su trabajo = she dedicated herself fully/entirely to her job
el sol le daba de lleno en la cara = the sun was full on his face/was shining directly on his face.

Yes, I agree with "to the brim" or even "brimming"... in specific contexts.
