Default 2WD level help


Finally decided it's time to lift my truck. Decided on going with 22x10 hostile alpha with 305/45r22 nitto 420s. Eanted fuel mavericks but i see them almist every day on everything. Absolutely upgrading the stock weak a arms I've seen them fail first hand
But my question is was the best 2.5 to 3 inch leveling option?

Icon in my opinion is the "best".
Get you some Icon Coilovers with res and their UCA.

What is your budget and how do you plan on using your truck?

If Spacers are all you can afford, by all means.

I would recommend an adjustable strut or spend the $$ and get Coilovers.

We have our Chase kit which is our Boxed UCA paired with a King 2.5 Coilover!

Unfortunately can't go big $$ on both lift and wheel and tires at this time. Its my daily driver right now and being in flordia spending big on wheels/tires first and building the suspension as I go will have to do for now. I know upgrading the arms is a must and spacers will do for now till I save up for adjustable coilovers. Just don't know what spacer are better then the others?

If your budget is limited I'd run the motofab leveling kit and then upgrade when your budget allows. If you can spend a few more bucks you could always do the Eibach or bilstein leveling struts.

I like the Hostle wheels but they are too much $$$ for a cast wheel.

If you're interested in a set of 22x10 I've got a set of budget friendly black Rhino wheels I can sell you

why not wait and save up until you can buy and install a well built kit/wheels/tires at same time? I mean what is the hurry to lift the truck?
