When I had my RC 2.5" level in there was roughly 3/8" of rake still. You want some rake in case you load up the bed (even if it's only once in a while) so you're not looking like this.

I recommend the BDS 2 part leveling kit. You will need to take apart the front strut but way better than a giant puck on top of the strut

Ok....bear with me. I've searched the forum and the interwebs over and over. I'm more confused than when I started.

I'd like to LEVEL the truck, a 2021 crew cab with off road package. Looks like the consensus is a 2.5 inch will back it squat just a tad. That gets me to a 1.5 or 2.0

Where is everyone's head at? Not sure why Tuxxx skips the 2.0 and just has a 1.5 and 2.5. For a 2.0 what are the recommendations for the most reliable?
BDS Builds great! https://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=3&mo=25&ty=1&yr=2019-2023

Keep in mind when you floor it the front always lifts up and the rear squats, well at least with the long travel arms and deaver springs in the rear.

Is the upgrade from the BDS NX2 twin tube gas shocks to the FOX 2.0 performance series IFP shock worth it?
I cannot say. I went with the When I upgrade my shocks, I will go to the 2.5 shocks, that is 2.5" diameter, which is a lot more beef than a 2.0 (2" shock). I think the real crap component on my susension is the stock Fx shocks up front. That is where my next upgrade will be. Planning to go with the Extended Travel ICON Front 2.5 Coilover Kit 91255.

Jeff, for what it’s worth, I have the Rough Country 2.5 leveling kit. When I have weight on the bed, like the camper shell and camping stuff, I still don’t see any squatting.
