    Hello everyone I just wanna get some ideas from anyone about using a leveling kit( 3” struts spacers on the front and 2” block on the rear) and also install a 2” body lift to the frame. I don’t know if this is a okay or not.

    You're have a prerunner....maxtrax spindles and a Dakar leaf pack will get you a lift that won't ride like crap

    That’s what I thought because I don’t know I feel like my truck is not pouncing good and the alignment is somehow very hard to fix. I’ve been taking it to different shops but they didn’t even give me the right angle yet. But anyways thanks to you two I will try to change my lift kit. I’m trying to use 33x12.5x17 that’s why I wanted to lift it up a little bit more.

    With that tire size lift won't matter. You need to get the alignment dialed and chop the cab mount then trim the fender where it rubs.

    I wanted to do that but like you said the ride is not even good as I expected to be. I wanted to change my lift to the maxtrax spindles and Dakar leaf but do I have to buy another struts and coils that have 3-4” height? Or I can still use my stocks struts and coils?

    You can probably pull the spacers off up front and use everything else you have. If you're running the original shocks they likely need to be replace though. Check out headstrong offroad...I believe they have a kit with the maxtrax spindles. PM Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road if you have specific questions...she was very helpful when I was deciding on a suspension setup.
