Need advice on a leveling kit

[Joshua Campbell]

Hey fellas,

I want to improve the stance of my truck with a minor level/lift. I am not particularly interested in anything greater than a 3” lift. I don’t want to unnecessarily compromise the ride or longevity of components, but I don’t need any additional off-road capability. What kind of kit should I looking for? A simple spacer kit? A kit with control arms? Other?

Here are the two I’ve been looking into

Thanks in advance!

Spacer kit will be fine. 2.5 will let you run 35s

Ok, that would be perfect. I heard mixed opinions that such a spacer kit will compromise my ball joints. Any credence to that?
Thanks for the input

don't buy rough country level kits

Most here prefer an adjustable height front strut, they don't increase the overall length like a cheap spacer

look into Bilstein 5100 or Eibach makes a really nice kit

Bilstien 5100’s are the way to go vs those spacer kits

Cheaper to run a set of bilsteins or eibachs and much better ride than spacer lift too.
Take a look at the eibach pro truck kits

What do y’all think of Fox 2.0 front and rears ?

Great info. I’m going to go with the adjustable strut. Glad I checked here!

Thanks for the info

I have the 3” Kit from Rough country, due to a “ Very anoying squeak” that the shop can’t get rid of, it’s coming off very soon and adjustable bills are going on. I am however going to leave the rear spacers in to give me a Slight rake.
