Before someone says anything, I DID read the sticky, and I guess I just suck at figuring a couple of things out. I've been trying to figure out a leveling kit versus Bilstein 5100's. I've heard of some problems with the Bilsteins when raised to the highest setting- has this been the case for you all? Does one allow a bigger tire compared to the other?

Also, I've been trying to decide between a 3" block for the rear, or an add a leaf. Pros/Cons?

Essentially this is the setup that I want:

The "Still Smoking" truck being the model I want to emulate.

Will I be able to fit 33/12.50/17 on Mickey Thompson Classic II's with the Bilsteins or a Level (with no rubbing under any conditions)? Or will I need a more extensive lift? I have 2011 4WD Supercrew Lariat.

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help, and for those that are annoyed by the post- I apologize for my ignorance. Thanks.

Neither really has a height advantage over the other. Can't really answer the block vs add a leaf cuz idk much about them. But u should be able to fit that setup without any level as long as u have a 4wd (which u do).
