Leveling recommendations 2008 Sport

[flip2020]

What's up guys,

I Own a 2008 Sport V8, No Lift, with BFG A/T's 265/70R17. Of Course the front end is exactly 1.5" Lower than the rear. Also, there is slight rubbing with the front tires when cranked all the way.

I hope to level my truck, and also give it another inch or so lift if possible, beyond the leveling. I Plan to keep my current tires and wheels for a while, so i definitely want it to look good with these smaller tires while lifting it up a bit higher.

what are some recommendations to accomplish this goal? brands, sizes, Websites, pictures....anything helps since I am new to Lifting/leveling vehicles.

As for the slight rubbing...will a 1.25 spidertrax spacer help? how much will all of this alter my MPG or Vehicle Longevity?

Thanks for any insight! I will try to get a pic of the truck posted ASAP.

The daystar lift sounds perfect for you.

It's 1.5 spacer in the rear, 2.5 in the front, it looks very level.

Here is right after we got the lift in:


Here's my truck (daystar) next to a stock 03. Same color and everything!



I could not be happier with it.

Man I am jealous of that view. I don't think I've seen a tree in months.

Yeah that daystar looks slick! Did you run into any issues during install? Did you use any spacers?

If you want to level AND get a much improved ride- get a set of coil overs for the front. You can adjust them from stock height up to 3" higher and anywhere in between. The ride and bump absorption will be awesome. I speed up for speed bumps. Expensive, but worth it. Also, measure your fender height on the left and right sides- bet they're about 1/2" off- you can fix that with the coil overs.
