    I would really like to level my truck... billstein 5100s seem like the best option but I've heard a lot about lifts causing lots of issues. Does anyone have any experience with lifts causing problems/decreasing longevity of the truck?

    Depends on the lift, If you go with 5100s it sounds like your doing things right. The only problems I've heard are with spacer lifts putting too much stress on the shock. You also want to make sure you don't lift so high that your putting unnecessary stress on the front CV axles. If they are too extreme of an angle, you could run into issues with the ribs on the boots rubbing each other wearing them down. The general concensus is 2.5" - 3" is ideal.
