Default 2013 fx4 leveling kit

I have been looking around for awhile and I am a bit confused about the leveling kits. Some are just the 2 inch front spacer and the others are the front spacer and a rear 1.5 inch rear lift. Why would you want the rear lift or why wouldn't you? Also what brands are you guys using? I'm leaning toward procomp but they don't offer the rear lift. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Procomp is overpriced for just the front lift. Autospring and a few others are about $100 cheaper for just the front lift (spacers). You can get spacers and rear blocks from another company for the cost of Procomp front spacers.

It's just a spacer like you said. He'll bent steel I used the last few times but they are all the same. I went on eBay and got a 2" kit to my house for $50 and works great. Why spend $200+ for something you can get for $50. Or maybe it's just me

Nice truck, great look. I too just picked up a 2" leveling kit, thinking that would be enough and after reading some posts on here. Do I need anything in the rear? Also what size tires do you have? I am stuck between 295/60R20 and 305/55R20's. Any thoughts?

Does the consensus here favor the angled levels, like AS? To others?? I thought I read, people with the non angled spacers get a noise or a knock from something rubbing on rebound jounce?

If that's the case, it's worth it to me to pay extra for zero noises, rubbing or banging. But that's me, don't want my $52k truck to sound like a horse carriage.

I've never had any rubbing or banging. I've been told not to get anything over 2 inch cause it can put things in a bind.

My tires are 295/70/18. I like the look of the bigger tires but anything bigger than stock will improve the look in my opinion. I didn't get 20s to save a $ or 2 and think 18 still look good
