    I had a Pro Comp Nitro level lift on my 2010 for about 5 months then pulled out the cash for Walker Evans coilovers and shocks with All Pros standard leaf pack. I'm hoping to get their expo pack soon.

    A few bolts are different.
    In 2005 spacers were just about my only choice. I am on my 4th lift setup. Currently lifted by Icon.

    With all this spacer talk... My local dealer told me if I change my suspension to an aftermarket lift it would void my warranty, but because they offer spacer lifts I would be ok doing that (I'd still be running the factory suspension). So I set my eyes on a 1.5 or 2" leveling spacer and once my warranty is up I'll lift it properly. I'm not new to lifted trucks (I've had everything from mild to completely custom), but I am new to brand new vehicles with warranties.

    You think a front leveling spacer will hold me over for a few years if I don't get to crazy offroad (honestly 85% street, 15% camping/trail and no major rock crawling)?

    I did with my first taco with AAL, no new shocks either. that bish rode like a tank and killed my back.

    my second taco I went with the RCD 4.5 lift with the billies. OMG rides better than any stock truck ive been in. plus 25 psi 35's and no sway bar helps loosen it up.

    Do some more research, there is a court case that says modifying a vehicle cant void warranty unless it caused a malfunction.
