    That's a full 3 inches over stock. from what I've read, that's too much for these trucks. 2 to 2.5 max. There are people running 3" suspension lifts but problems may arise soon down the road. Some people have problems with spacer lifts and some dont especially if you dont off road. But you may want to go with the bilstein as mentioned above. Very popular lift.

    As you can see on the one pic, almost all of the cv boot fins are touching each other which will cause them to rub together wearing them out pretty fast. Try to stay under 2.5 inches. Lots of good info on TW to read through for best options. Truck looks good.

    Ok so I took the 3” level off and bought the 2” so will I have any problems with my front end after install? Will there be whining like the 3”?

    I moved your post into your existing thread about this issue. A new thread would lose all the replies of the current.
