Are people leveling the Trail Boss?

These are my angles with the 1.5” leveling kit on mt AT4.

They did a good job with the geometries. Looks about equal to a 2.5” lift in a previous generation such as the N3BS.

These are my buddies AT4 angles with no leveling kit. Just some 33x12.5r18 toyo mt (actual factory specs 33x12.7)

I don't understand why concern for spending money on correct parts to keep front end happy and live a long life......these are $50-60k vehicles.....do it right or leave it be, I would anyway

Got any pics from the side? Would love to see how this looks. I want to level my at4, the rake is just too much.

They don’t look bad but there has been alot of UCA failures with 2” of level on At4 and TB....I am planning on upgrading to the Rough Country arms even though I have the 1.5”....it will make me feel safer on longer road trips.

I think I’m sold. I told myself I wasnt going to mess with this truck at the risk of messing up my angles but I just can’t help myself. She needs it.

Beautiful truck...love the black wheels. 1.5” should be fine....2” many reported upper arm failures...they to sell the 1.75” ready lift that includes the upper arms but does nothing to correct the cv angles. So in my opinion a 1.5” puts a tad less stress the cv joints and ball joints. You could throw in the 1.5 with upper control arms as well....that’s my plan. Leaning towards rough country. They have a nice setup and have great reviews.

Thanks man! I just put the wheels and tires in. Kinda wish I went a little bigger on the tires but too late now. I did a 2” zone on my 2015 all terrain and never had any real problems. I just worry with this because it’s got a factory 2” it might mess things up. I feel like 1.5 isn’t too much and seeing yours makes me feel good about it. Does your still ride just as smooth and everything since doing it? I feel like my last truck it never was the same, maybe it was just in my head.

Its not about how it looks when its sitting there, its about what happens when the suspension fully droops, it causes the ball joint to go past its usable range and wear and fail prematurely. UCAs correct ball joint angle and fixes this issue.

Do you rub at all with the bigger tires?

Yes sometimes it rubs on the fender liner at full lock turns. No biggy...i just need to zip tie it a bit back further.
