Default Best Leveling Kit?

Hey guys,

Have a 2013 Platinum that I want to level. I'd like to bring the entire truck up a little and get rid of the rake, so I'm thinking something like a 3/1" kit like I had on my Tundra for awhile. What's the current thinking on a simple kit to do this, and will they fit 35's or only 33's underneath?

I used a 2 inch autospring on mine. I really like it. I would just make sure to use a steel spacer.
I would not do a 3 inch front level. That puts a lot of added stress on front end components.

There is a thread with tons of info

+1 for Autospring. Excellent quality and was able to have the front spacer powder coated black by Autospring for an $10. Unless you know what you are looking for the spacer looks like it came that way from the factory. I did 2" front, 3" rear to maintain a slight rake so I don't go sagging *** when hauling or pulling a trailer. I think a 2" front will eliminate the rake if you don't touch the rear.

Thanks JKOL. I ordered the 2.5" front with 3" rear block. I tow very rarely so I'm going for 0 rake. Appreciate the info!

I ordered the same one yesterday

My stock truck has 2.5" of rake with a half a tank of gas. So with the front complete it should be level. With the 3" block installed and removal of the 1.5" block, I should end up with about 1.5" of rake.
