Whats best leveling kit/size. Im figuring i need either 2.5" or 3". I was looking on ebay and there are a bunch and price vary. Im not looking to cheap out and get crappy material. What do u pros recommend ?

Someones's bound to chime in with the "should post this on the lifted section" but anyways, I'd recommend the bilstein 5100's, they have the best feedback, and won't harm the ride of the truck at all

Bilstein 5100 Adjustable front shocks. Can be set 0-2.8", better ride and can be used if you ever get a lift put in

i would not get any kit that says 3". There is a reason the reputable name companies only got up to 2.5" leveling kit. To go more you would be maxing your cv angles which would not be good. As stated you can get the bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks to level the front, but if money is an issue check out our vendor hell bent steel for their leveling kits.

Is it a 2" level or a 2.5" level that sits the 2012 1500 4X4 level?

The spacers are considerably cheaper. I ordered my 2.5" spacer from hell bent steel for like $80.00.
