I'm a newbie as well but here's mine. I went with the 2" strut top spacer. 295/60/20 Toyo open country AT3s.

Nice...Thank you for a reply. Did you do the work? I was told spacers will give problems in the future., squeaks and noise coming from them. That's why i was thinking front strut replacement. Did you do a alignment? Was it off much after the lift? It Looks good! The lift and tires makes it look so much better! Just need some input, Thanks.

I'm one of those essential employees so I dropped it off and had a shop install them. They did an alignment but not sure how much it needed. I didn't get the spec sheet like usual. Hopefully it doesn't have issues but time will tell. It definitely looks much better!

I only have about 40 miles on it so still new. The tires have a slight hmm over 40mph and the ride is a tad rougher. More jarring over sharp bumps and such. There's no rubbing in any wheel movement.

I leveled my Laramie with Bilstein 5100's all the way around! Better than stock ride! You will not experience squeaks and noises, the stock shocks will not be too extended, and the ride won't be bouncy...I went with the clip 5 position, which is where you'd want with your off-road package, and it's perfectly leveled!
