I have been looking at leveling kits for my 2016 2WD Laramie and I had a few questions. I'm looking at CST and Maxtrac. I noticed that some of the Maxtrac ones come with fox, bilstein, or their brand of shocks. Any difference for a truck that won't see any off roading? I'm leveling for the look and might add some AT tires on stock rims, but that's it. Also, will a leveling kit cause other parts to wear such as ball joints? I've read that, but wasn't sure. Anyone using these kits or anyone with input would be greatly appreciated. Also pics if applicable. Here's the kits I've looked at:

I'm also seeking the same advice on a 17 2wd Express. I'm looking at the Supreme Suspension Spring spacers.

Not sure what your budget is, but Thuren makes top notch stuff. Have the 2 inch lift springs and Foxes on my 2500 and it is very nice. Plus the track bar...

Are there differences between the 2500 and 1500 springs? On their website it shows only options for 25 and 3500. I figure they are the same but spring rate may be different but have no idea.

Completely different suspension platforms!!

1500 and 2500..
Not even close.

Thuren springs will not work on coil overs :)

Completely different.

Thuren is geared toward high speed offroad desert running 2500s trophy diesels. They are working on some 1500 stuff, that will be better than anything out there now.. but not currently available.
