2" or 3" leveling kit?

Bought 35x12.50x20s for the truck...to make it sit perfectly level would it be better to go with the 2 inch spacer or the 3? Thanks, Jason

I run the Rancho 2" Leveling kit. It come with everything you need and also comes with lower control arms to keep everything perfect. I guess you will need shocks but that is it. I too will be putting on 35x12.50x20 Nitto's on when I get truck back from shop.

I have some 2" taller superlift springs im selling since I got a 4.5" lift.
I didnt want to go the spacer route since id rather have a taller spring to make up the height difference instead of a spacer... just imo...

i got a smokin deal on rims and tires i think... discount tire price matched the cheapest i found and went even lower...and they also messed up and sent chrome instead of polished...paid $2,126.40 out the door mounted, balanced, and locking lugs..i did know a couple of them tho...rims ended up being only $185 a piece...and like $345 ish for the tires a piece...

Mine was level with 1.5", just measure and order custom spacers if you want it level.

I think the Rancho kit gost me like 375 bucks. It came with spacers, lower control arms, bump stops, and a couple other odds and ends. I had to buy my shocks on top of it.
