what is the weight and size of your camper
Ok, I installed a front 2.5" leveling kit in the front instead of the 1.5". I actually installed the spacer and the next day said "holy crap that looks higher than what I expected".. I then looked up the part number I was sent and found out it was a 2.5" and not the 1.5", guess I should have known but oh well.
I also installed a set of Air Lift airbags in the rear so hopefully the truck will not squat down when the camper is hooked up. I don't think it looks too bad but I will have to suck it up with the tires that are on there because I am running out of money!!!

Pro Comp 2.5" Leveling Kit
Has anyone used the ProComp Kit? How much height are you getting? I want to retain some rake so maybe I also need a taller block in the back?
If money was no object I'd go Icon or Boss coilovers with UCA's but that just seems overkill for a level. Really, I just want it to 'look right' and have a bit wider tire for the beach.
I chatted with the guys at the local 4Wheel Parts store yesterday and that was their recommendation. There is a preload spacer and an upper strut spacer so supposedly it puts everything closer to neutral but I'm not quite clear on that. Need to understand that part more.
As far as tires/wheels, I want to go with 20x9 Fuels with a 1mm offset (5" backspace). Seems 295/55R20 should be fine but 295/60R20 might not fit. Any experiences with these two sizes on similar wheels? I've got a 3.55 in the rear and figured going to 33" would be fine but not sure about 34", would that be too big a tire for the 3.55?
One thing about the 295/60R20 is there are more tire choices where with the 295/55R20 I'm pretty much limited to the Toyo AT/2, not that that is bad, unless I go super aggressive.
TIA

Any 2wd guys level out? Just trying to decide on 2" or 2.5" on a 2wd screw.
I'll tow a boat 3-5 times a year, and I'd rather not be super low in the rear after the level is installed, but I hate how drastic the factory rake is

Hi All... Does any one have any pictures of their CV angles at a 3" lift? I like the overall height the best but I have heard mixed things across the board. If the angles aren't hateful I might stick with the 3" (with a set of UCA's) if not I will spring for the 4" which will maintain factory geometry...

AFter 2.5" Rough Country level install. Front measures: 39.5(25.8 from hub), rear measures: 39.75(26 from hub) to fender. Also went with 15% window tint across the board.*
