Was wondering if anyone has a leveled 2017 4x4 with 33's or 35's on it and could tell me the overall height of the truck. I live in an apartment complex with the only parking being inside of a parking garage and only have 7' to clear into the garage. Thanks in advance.
All I can say is be careful. I have a 16 that I put the Ranch Quick Lift on her and my front end went from 36 3/4 to 40 1/2, but I'm also running 34s on mine as well, so I got almost 4 full inches out of my leveling kit.

I just sneak under the 6'8" height tube in the garages up in Seattle and often the tube will touch or slightly drag across my roof. Its really scary sometimes, and 6"8" seems to be a really popular height limit around here at least. You may be able to get away with 35's if you go 2" lift though.

Quote " Spacers and leveling shocks only adjust the toe so that’s all that will need to be reset on the alignment specs. If your mechanic tells you otherwise for these kits, find a new mechanic."
I am no expert but I dont see how this can be accurate... If a lift lowers the control arm wouldnt it have an affect on the camber? I dont see why the toe would be affected... but then I may not understand the suspension as well as others.

caster i believe is what he means.. Which yes it does affect (levelling kits) and actually affects ride quality... I'm a mechanic and they teach you this in tech school... Caster is the relationship between the top of the knuckle viewed from the side of the truck leaning either toward the front of the truck(negative) or rear of the truck(positive). No domestic or import vehicles, that i know of anyway, do not have a negative caster, unless you're a racer on a circuit. it makes handling a little better same as a little negative camber can improve cornering ability.. Positive caster promotes a more compliant ride at the cost of handling.. Nothing dramatic enough to cause a noticeable difference in handling on a levelled truck. So when you level your truck you're actually taking a little of the caster angle toward the positive side(maxxing out the factory UCA adjustability). A control arm kit (camburg, pro comp, bajakits/brenthel, readylift, etc... So on and so forth) removes this positive change as they come with a little more negative caster angle designed into the component over stock to compensate for the levelling kits(allows it to adjust the levelled truck back to stock caster angle thus keeping the "factory" ride quality)and allow more flexibility on the front end which can promote more wheel cycle/travel up to 10" with a bajakits or camburg setup. Especially when paired with fox or king oem adjustable shocks.

I had a 2012 with a Racho quick lift, set at 2" level with 325/50R22 (35's). I cleared 6'8"underground parking easily. It felt scary when I did, but you should be good with a 7' garage.
Now with 4" BDS and 35's........ not a chance. The truck is now approximately 6'10"-11". I know this because I was able to clear a 7' height restriction on local ferry boat crossing.
I installed Fox 2.0 shocks on the front and rear of my '15 about 4 months ago. They come from the factory pre-set at a 2" lift on the front coilovers and the rears are the same length as OEM. When installed this effectively levels the truck.
My thoughts: With roughly 1,500 miles on these shocks so far they are just starting to break in. Definitely stiffer than the stock set-up which has its positives and negatives. Handling is GREATLY improved. Going around sharp turns and round-a-bouts used to be a terrifying experience, but no longer with these bad boys. You feel upright and level at speed and keep the wheels planted on the ground. As far as ride quality, it is definitely a whole new feel. We've got some terrible roads up here in MI and you do get tossed around significantly more with these. However, on big potholes or rough bumps they absorb much more than the factory. You can tell the shock is forcing the tire down instead of letting your whole truck dip down like factory. I will note that I have noticed them breaking in some in the last hundred miles or so and things are getting a little more cushiony versus the stiffness they were right out of the box, which is welcome.
