    I talked to a truck accessory place and they said 2 1/2 in the front 1 1/2 in the back would be the way to go

    What do you guys think about that setup

    Why would you want your front a inch higher than the rear?

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Generally, you lift the front 1'' higher because our truck have 1'' rake from the factory.

    This levels the truck out.

    Wheelers is a great place to get advice and parts from.

    it really comes down to budget. You have a lot of research and reading to do on here. But take your time and determine what you need and want out of the truck.

    You do get what you pay for in the world of suspension...big time

    This is the exact setup that I have on my truck. I think it looks pretty nice. Im running 265/75/16 MT's. No vibes at all.

    Heres a picture for reference. Front right tire is in the ditch a little causing the back left to flex some. Not quite that tall in the back.

    Travesty, nice pic! This weekend I am leveling my '12 with some bilsteins and then throwing on some 265/75/16 St Maxx. Looks like you're running the same rubber.? Any issues with the VSC or transmission with tire size that you have noticed? Thanks,
    Sergio
