This is a 2 inch level with about a half inch of rake ,I meant that you can clearly see 2 inches but it would be hard to see another half imo.

 

What vent shades are you running? I have the exact same truck and really like how those match the truck. I am sure the window tinting helps.

They look like AVS but I’ll let beast answer.  Sorry.

 

I have a 2” level.  At the moment I have a huge ice chest with three cases of water completely iced down in the back.  I put a level on it and I cant really tell if the front is high, but don’t like the nose high impression I’m getting.

 

can I get the dealership to put a 1” block in the back?  Pretty easy/cheap?

Here’s what 1.85” up front gives you



Hooksets are free...

FWIW, I had a 2" lower spacer and later came back and added the 1/2" motofab upper strut spacer and after it settled I gained about 3/4" over the expected 1/2".  Def was worth it to add that upper strut spacer for me.

If you add a bigger block, you may have to get different shocks back there to accommodate. Not an expert on this just thinking out loud. You may look into adding a leaf to firm it up in the back.

I hate to ask.   What’s a hook Set?

I live in speckled trout country.   Not sure why I didn’t make that connection on my own.  I was hanging on your every word.  Ha

 

Im not a cheapo, but have one kid starting dental school in August (currently in Italy for two months) and the other kid will be starting her junior year at Ole Miss (currently doing an internship in Wash DC).  There’s a limit.

 

BUT...I do have a Louisiana marsh trip planned for July 15!  Will be setting some hooks, weather dependent.

2in level with 305/55/20 Toyo AT2s. Slight rubbing. I kinda wish i went with 2.5 level but eventually i am going to do a full lift so 2in will suffice for now

What is it rubbing on? Carpet only or more?

As far as I can tell it’s carpet. I’ve got .25in spacers but the weather has been terrible and has made me lazy lol. Once I get the wheels off I’ll know more
