you will.

i clear 35s with 2.5 level, just make sure your wheels are the right offset

Oh they will be lol. The wheels I liked were discontinued and only offered in -24 offset but they are 20 x 10.

Any wobble issues on your level?

You will need atleast a 3.75" lift (such as an RCX 2.5" + 1.25" body) to clear those

Both are great options.
HB if you are on a budget, but level and added comfort snap the Bilsteins up.

if you need pricing on Bilsteins, let me know and I can certainly help you out :)

yes, i would try to send it back or cancel it before they ship it. People have problems at 2.5" and there is not even a manufacturer that sells a 3.75" spacer except them. Readylift makes a kit that is only 2.5" and they even include shock extensions. Your basically pushing the "strut and spring" down when you put a spacer on.
If you wanna do something like that, go with a 2.5" level in the front which you can get from Hell Bent Steel for around 70-80 bucks and then get a 1.25" body lift. That will give you 3.75 in the front. Some people do the a small spacer in the rear like .75 to 1" for a slight rake. Parts and install will prolly run you anywhere from 700-1000. Level and Body lift is around 200 bucks. I got a quote for a 400 install, then you'll have to get an alignment.

Never heard of anyone using greater than 2.5" except the Bilsteins which you can get around 200 bucks for the front pair. They are adjustable and you can set them at 2.8" highest setting.

Look up Blkberetta he did the 1.25" body lift and 2.5" spacer. Better you caught it now than later. Then you'd have to pay labor three times...One to put them on, two to take them off, and three to put on a 2.5" or Bilsteins.

Ok, I know they shipped already. I can maybe send them back. With the rough country combo kit, would that be worth it or would I be better getting a Hell Bent kit with leveling kit.

Depends on what you like. The combo kit consist of course of a Rough Country level and the 1.25" bodylift which is $249.00

However if you buy the Hell bent steel level and the Rough Country Bodylift by itself its only $79 for the level and $129 for the bodylift so a little cheaper. I've heard some bad reviews on the Rough Country 2.5" level, something to do with the bolts stripping. $220 roughly

If you go bilsteins and bodylift your looking around $350 total, then of course install after that.

The bilsteins improve ride quality and dont put as much stress on the "axles" allegedly. It seems some people have problems with either one tho just depends on truck.

Here is the 2.5" HBS level and Bodylift thread
