    I just bought a 22 Limited short bed and wanted to see what would be the best leveling kit to get. With or without shocks. Want the best ride I don’t take it off-road. Thanks I’m advance.

    On my 2021 sport 4x4 I have the Eibach pro kit. It gave me about a 2 inch lift in the front. I'm using a 1 inch block in the rear with the Eibach shocks. The ride is great with this set up. I did try a 2 inch leveling kit for about 6 weeks and it rode like garbage.

    I had the Rough Country leveling spacers for a little while, they were fine on road but not good for anyone who goes off road.

    I upgraded to the Bilstein 5100’s recently and then drove across the country and back. I love em’

    Thanks. It's not as extreme as some of the trucks around here, but I think it's got a clean and simple look to it. The most recent upgrade was a new headunit (Sony 9500es).

    Best, cheapest ''quality" ride would be Bistein 5100s up front set @ 1" and keep your stock coils. No need for a block, nor an add a leaf in the rear.

    Next step up, would be to set the 5100s 2" up front and ad a 1" block in the rear.

    This is essentially what I have, except I have the Icon AAL in the rear. Used to have a 1” block but replaced it with the AAL.

    I went with the Bilstein 5100s which is a much stiffer and more responsive shock. Uses the oem springs with 4 adjustment settings to level the front. The rears also allow a stock of 1" block spacer for the leaf springs. Love the leveled ride and enhanced road feel which these shocks provide.
