Hey guys just looking for opinions here. I just got a 2016 half ton sport. I love the way it rides and tows as it sits stock. However I wanna get a little more height without having my ass drag the road with a trailer. Y'all think and lift or level is the better way to go? Please specify sizes. Thanks

I did a 2.25 inch level a week after I got my 2013 Express. It came with the front(2.25') and rear(1.75") pieces and I installed both. If i had done just the front my truck would sit perfectly level, but I kinda dig the minimal rake. I think this may help with your dilemma.

I did a level, left rear alone, added 285/65/20's...love it.

Hey, Greygoose, That looks good. running the same size in a bfg ko2. Are those a zero offset?


OP. I too run a 285 65 20 and fox 2.0. love the ride, good luck with your decision.

Off topic: How do you like the Trifecta? I have one too and hate how you can lift the rear when everything is sealed up. I am going to try replacing the rear spring clamp with the cab/twist clamp.

Back on topic: I have 2" upfront right now with Fox coilovers. It feels too low for me.

I actually love the fast access. This is the second one on two trucks, love it.

That actually sounds like it would work perfectly both looks wise and functionality wise. Now I just gotta find the kit and some new shoes for her

Leveled with bils @ 2.8. Nothing in rear. 35x12.5r18s. Don't want to go higher, but I want coilovers and whatnot now.

Mine was a rough country. Pretty inexpensive.
