So I have seen the daystar thanks to you guys and your picks look good btw. I found it for 39 bucks which is so cheap. I found the readylift 1.5 that says it is specifically for the fx4 cuz it has a little different rake but its 229. Why do you guys think there is such a huge cost diff? I do have an fx4 I traded in the one in my pic but can't remember how to post pics

I'm in the same boat as you, am thinking about a level but that fox suspension is just so damn nice
Yea I know right. I'm going for longevity I use it every day and I'm self employed so in the end it's a write off. But more importantly I paid alot of money for this truck and I'm going to be driving it for the next 5 to 7 years so I just want to protect my investment from the elements. 40% or more of my daily driving is off road in the oil field and these roads suck. They are hard packed cliche with sharp rocks and put holes everywhere. If I don't upgrade my suspension my truck work rattle and squeak like a 10 year old truck in no time. Plus no matter how nice these fx4 loaded out trucks are the truth is the stock suspension blows.

So I just measured my stock setup from the level ground to the bottom of each fender. I'm still trying to figure out which size level to go with. It's 39.25" right rear and 37.25" on both fronts. But the left rear measures almost 40". Looking at the rear everything looks pretty straight....any ideas?

2" level via Rancho quickLIFT. Pretty much dead level.

Right rear as in the drivers or passenger side? If the drivers side is lower its probably the gas tank and fuel in the tank causing the difference

Yep...the driver's side rear is the high side which seems even more confusing to me.

I just installed the Tough Country 3" suspension lift that pretty much leveled it out. I also installed the Bilstien 5100's at the same time. Much better ride.
