    So I am going to replace my leveling kit with a lift. I want to do 3.5 in front and 2.5 in back. If I buy 3.5 inch upc, 3.5 inch loaded strut, 2.5 leaf spring and 2.5 rear shock. Anything else I need? Any problems with this? My truck is a prerunner.

    3" lift is maximum, you do not want to exceed 21" eye to eye with weight on top of shock to bottom of shock.

    Anything more and your boots will self destruct, as is a 3" lift puts considerable additional wear on them.

    Unless you want to go long travel $u$pen$ion.

    you will probably get some drive line vibrations at the height. look at getting a carrier bearing spacer. you wont have to worry about the needle bearing which is good news
