Lift/Leveling Kit for '12 Platinum
Hi guys! I just bought a 2012 Platinum today, white with sunroof, NAV, 3.55 and a few other goodies. The truck is awesome. It does sit pretty low for what I'm used to though, I had a Tundra with 7" lift and 37's and then a GMC 2500HD so this truck feels like I'm riding really low to the ground. What's the most economical way to get a small amount of lift from the stock stance and level it up a bit? I don't want to go too much because I really dont want to have to put bigger tires on it, seeing that I just got it today and the stock Pirelli's seem pretty great. Thanks!!

I went with the 3" pro Comp Leveling kit & 2.5" rear block and Firestone rear air bags for towing.
I got rid of the Pirelli's soon as I could we have them on our FX4, and went from 275/55/20's=31" to BFG Rugged terrian T/A's 275/65/20=34.1" and Im going to BFG KM2's 35" for my summer tires
her is a few pics of my New 2012, there is a bunch more in my profile and Garage

Nick Thanks,
Here are a few of the Accessories you were asking about, I'll try and send you the #'s when i find the reciept, and if you want some good specs on tires go to Tire Rack .com thats where I bought my 34" BFG's these tires blow those pirelli's away big time, in every aspect.
Pro Com.com for the Leveling kit
Firestone.com for air bag kit
Rigid Industries.com for the front and rear LED Flood lights
CARiD.com for the Blue ambient Lighting, andLed push switch
K&N 63 series kit, made a huge difference in throttle responce
Im going to Solo Performance for my dual exhaust with dual tips looks fricking amazing can't wait to get those....lol
Take Care!!
