    ‘19 TRD Sport DCLB
    So I just picked up a ‘19 TRD Sport DCLB to replace my ‘18 F150 super crew. I’m a carpenter and pull a 6x12 enclosed single axle trailer often. Some weeks its everyday to a different project and sometimes the trailer could be parked on the job site for weeks at a time. The truck will never have the axles twisted up on the rubicon or anything even close to that. It will see snow covered jobsites and the beach during the summer. I’d like to get something around a 2” lift and 33”s to give the truck more height and not make me feel like I’m driving my wife’s suv. With all that being said it seems like the Bilstein 5100 kits and some kind of AAL would prob work best for my needs but I’m not opposed to Eibach or OME or something else. My biggest question is exactly what kit??? It’s seems like there are so many options and im getting really confused with all the different setups. What are some peoples opinions on what would work best for my situation.
    Cliff notes… I want a lift. I pull a trailer often. I don’t want squat when I pull the trailer. I don't do any sort of serious off roading. It’s a work truck. I’m looking for a comfortable ride on the pavement and do not really care about off-roading. Thanks!

    Figure out the rear lift 1st, then counter the rear lift with a spring in front to maintain a desire rake

    Due a leaf pack. I went through add a leaf and then ended up with a full pack icon rxt stage 2 set up. 6112/5160's 18 DCLB. Eventually went to 265/70/17. I pulled 6x12 tandem Aluma.

    I’d definitely do a full leaf pack whether that be Icon RXT, Deaver, Archive Garage. You will be much happier in the long run and won’t have to swap out the leaf pack + AAL when it goes flat in the future. As mentioned figure out the front once the rear is figured out. I’m on RXT stage 2s and pull a small boat no problem. Also mentioned above bilsteins 5100s / 5160s / 6112s will work out perfectly. As for 33s, lots of info here. But depending on wheel offset / alignment (caster) etc. you can rub. Or 255/85/16 skinnies, those will work no problem.
