Looks great!

Did you put spacers on the rear to even out the stance? I'm planning to get them for mine but I was bummed the ones I want take 2-3 weeks to get, so naturally I have now burned a week without even ordering them...oops.

No rear wheel spacers yet, haven’t made up my mind yet. I’ll run it like this for a while to see if my brain will will adapt otherwise Bora will be making some money off of me.

I've been lowered my whole life. I want to make a change for awhile. All of this bad angle talk and everything. I dont want to mess with it. Inwant ro lift my truck temporarily until i get bored and then lower it back down because I hate lifted but I need a change for a few months. What's the best way.

Bora is the ones that take 2-3 weeks, FYI. They build to order, which is great and all, but I want 'em NOW! Haha

Bad angle talk is important but is sometimes over-blown. If you go with a more tame leveling kit (2" or so) it will change the angles but won't over stress anything, especially if you are thinking of a temporary situation. This would be relatively easy to remove when you're ready to go lower. If you want to go higher than about 2", you need to look at a high quality suspension lift. These are engineered to keep the angles close to what they are stock. Zone and BDS are the most popular partly because they do very well with maintaining your angles. Remember tho, if you do an actual suspension lift, it is much harder to bring it back down. There is cutting and welding involved, and while I'm sure it's possible to go back to stock or lower, it's not going to be a "bolt-off" job.

I found a readylift 2.25" level I think would be perfect   and since I have a 1/2" lean on the drivers side I would obviously adjust my strut up half inch on that side. That seems to be the best bet as of now

Yes indeed! That seems like a good solution for you. I don't know much about the different leveling kits as far as a brand preference or anything but again if its temporary, even a 'crappy' one should work for you.

Ya 6-8 months maybe.  I just need a change for a little while is all. And I'm trying not to spend a ton , as it's taken.e a year and a half to get my lowered suspension working how I like it

a comment in response to the RCX 3.5" lift option. While I'm not advocating that's is exactly comparable to the 4" Zone or BDS, wouldn't the new RCX 3.5" Knuckle kit help with the TRE and Ball Joint issues that one would normally see with any UCA Lift that high?

Iv looked around cant find anything that exceeds 6 + inches

Because at that point you should start looking at new leaf packs
