they changed something in the front end on 2012 so it will take a little time for lift companies to account for the changes.

BDS is the only one with a kit for the 2012s currently. Give it a month or two and I'm sure you'll see other companies putting some out (RCX, Pro Comp, etc.).

I just said this in another tread but you can get a BDS 6" front 3" rear and your truck will be level. If you get a 6" front 5" rear, you will still have the front end lower than the back. Then put in Bilstein 5100s on the front at 2.1" or 2.8" setting and level it the rest of the way like alot of us did.
