Currently i have sitting in the box a HBS 2 inch level spacer kit. Would still need to get some mevotechs. Want to get opinions here should i level it with that kit, sell the spacers and get bilsteins and set them at 2.1. Get a ready lift kit from rancho. If i get the bils then i know i can still get a lift kit if i want to down the road.
I also would like to get new wheels and tires but not sure if i want to keep the stockers for now. I have factory 20s now. With just a level kit or bils can i still get a 20x10 with a -24 offset wheel with 35x12.5 with no rubbing? Or should i just run the stockers for now?

Go with the bilsteins. Money says you WILL want to lift it down the road. It's never big enough

Only spacer worth a look is the maxtrac 2 piece spacer. It's easy on the ball joints and I run it. But only cuz the bils were on backorder for months when I was buying.

I'm in the same boat! Just got a new '15 2500 4wd and it sits pretty high stock...I definitely want to level it, but If I could find a 4" / 1" suspension kit, I'd much rather go with that. Just can't find anything so far :(

Can the bils still work running the same ones on a lifted that were made for just a level ? You'd think they'd be to short ??

You can start with Bils then keep them on the bigger lift. I was going to do that until I saw that with bils and 35s, my family struggles to get in. Bummer, but leaves more HD money...

How do they struggle to get in? I have bilsteins maxed, 6"suspension, and 37s. My 8 and 10 yr old have no problem with steps.

Mine are 5 and 7 with no side steps.

I just get a good running start and chuck'em in there.
