Default Which level kit?

I know this topic has probably been beaten to death, but i meed help choosing a leveling kit. I picked up 295/70/18 nitto trail graplers on xd monsters. I need a leveling kit to clear them. I dont want to go with the bilstein shocks or anytjing of that sort. Im looking for a spacer like the HBS kit. Which is the best to go with? What size?

I went with procomps 2.5 metal lift. you have to go with metal, the urethane ones tend to settle... nice choice on the tire/rims... I went with 35x1250 on 20 inch rims. yes Nitto trail grapplers and xd monsters...

I actually have the rockstars. Had a brain fart there. My truck is also black so they should look great. Im leaning toward the hell bent kit right now. What tire pressure should i be running? Also need to look into which tuner to get in order to recalibrate my speedo.

I played around with it when i got my trails and so far 40-45 PSI seems to work best for me. Without custom tunes i'd look at Edges products for tuners.

Went with the HBS Kit. Should be here in a few days. Now just need to find a tuner. Been checking out the edge.

Sweet truck! I know what tire/rim combo I'm getting now. Haha!
