I am looking at some leveling kits for my new truck. Anybody prefer anything that's kind of cheap but good? Looking to get a 3 inch. And also, would the stock 275's look fine with a 3 inch?
A lot of guys get away with 3" strut spacers just fine, its just the angle of the CV joint you need to watch. It can cause vibrations in 4wd and premature wear. Hellbent Steel and Ready Lift are very good leveling kits. You could also use adjustable height bilstein struts to level, which is what I plan on doing. 275's will look small imo, 33's are perfect for a leveled 4th gen imo.
I think If I get one it's gonna be from HellBent Steel. And I didn't know if the 275's would look good or not. I plan on getting 33's anyways so it's all good. Lol

On my 09 I put the bilstein 5100 struts on my truck to highest setting. Pretty simple to install. It stiffened up the front end a little bit which I personally liked. I kept he stock 33s on there until the tires went then threw 35" nitto terras on there. I did a lengthy write up on it. I'll post the link if you'd like. After the install I threw in 1" spacers in the rear (by top gun customz) and also put air bags in the rear. Link is below...
