Do you have a bunch of weight in the bed? Or, is it just the weight of the cap making it sag a bit? I know these things are sensitive to weight in the back. Just curious as I have mine set at the highest setting and still have 3/4" of rake. I'm considering a block for when I tow, and also considering adding Timbren bump stops.
My A.R.E. CX series cap weighs about 175#. When I took the pic I had 20 gal of gas in cans in the back of the bed and a small (<20#) tool box. My gas tank was full. My truck has about 76K miles on it.
My ReadyLift 3" blocks and rear shocks were delivered today, just waiting on the weather to cooperate to install them. I'll post pics when it's finished.
Finished up my leveling kit and wheel/tire combo. Pretty drastic change. I am very satisfied with the ride quality. Although I will say these are a much more aggressive tire than the stock Goodyear's, so the ride is a bit more 'truck like' which I appreciate.

Is the rear lifted.
Seems silly to have to ask when a person says 'level' but many of the leveling 'kits' included rear lift.
I like the finder gaps with that size tire. I'd probably do that size or a tad larger. I'm on 18's, I could get a better sidewall appearance and keep that fender gap it would be about perfect. But I'm not planning to raise the rear.

The rear is not lifted. I did not measure, but there is still just the slightest of rake. It may seem a bit exaggerated due to the slope of the driveway. I've attached another picture on level ground. This one also shows the step bars that I changed out too. As you can see by the changes I've made, I was going for a touch of black but didn't want to completely black it out, because I don't mind the chrome, just didn't like the amount of chrome it came with.

Cool. I like that fender gap.
Doesn't look like the tire is crammed in there because 'it fits'.
Like I said, I'd go a tad larger probably when I get around to doing this. Still enjoying the comfy factory ride after having been beat up for years in the previous vehicle!
I hated the black wheels on my last truck (white paint) and I'll never again buy that.
The brushed look on my silver truck is nice but I'll probably go for polished.
If anyone is interested I have a BRAND NEW Auto spring 2'' level that I will sell. I just dont have the will or time to install it right now and just purchased stock size tires so I dont foresee it getting put on anytime soon.
Ill ask $70 shipped
Had a local truck accessories store install the Supreme Suspensions 2” level kit strut spacers yesterday. They also did the alignment after.
A yellow wrench warning light came on after I picked it up and said “See Owners Manual”. I hooked it up to FORScan and got the P166A DTC code. After turning the truck off and back on the light went away but then later it came back again.
Anybody else had this happen?
EDIT: I also had tint installed on windows and a clear UV protector on front windshield, I’ve read where some people got P166A code due to moisture reaching that module behind dash and code went away after moisture was gone. Idk 🤷🏽♂️
