Default Leveling help

So I need to level my truck to fit some 34s on it and I'm not sure whether to get with a rough country 2.5 inch strut extention or a coil over setup. The coil overs only go up to 2 inches but would that half inch really matter? What's the pros and cons of each and which one would you go with?

To clear a 34" a 2" would be fine. I myself am running 35'sx12.5x20 with minimal trimming using a 2" strut spacer from f150lifts.com (Great company, product and a sponsor here.). As a matter a fact some 2.5" spacers we have installed at the shop have set the front slightly higher. You would be fine with 2" in the front.

Thanks maybe I should run a 35x12.50 I was just planning on 34s just to be safe. I was looking at those quick lifts by Rancho. They're really nice and easy to put it just very expensive.

I'm not sure what model year you have but the Rancho quick lifts and Bilsteins aren't available yet for the 2014. I'm patiently waiting for either.

I have the quicklifts (f/r). There's a rancho rebate n i got the, cheap on autoplicity. Took abt 2 weeks to come. They corner like a sports car n hit bumps like u have steel nontraveling rods instead of shocks. The coils seem like theyre so stiff they rebound hard. I have 34's. if i were u I'd get a hellbent steel or auto spring 2" kit, n contemplate a good shock. Bilsteins have good n bad reviews, depending on what height perch u pick. But, we all have differing opinions on hard/soft or what our local roads n travels contain...

The ones I'm looking at has that 9 turn technology where you can set the ride soft to hard. It's the rancho rs9999s. Is there anything that's comparable to these that include the shock and spring with a 2 inch lift
