Default Opinions on a quality lift kit

Good Day Dodge fans. I just bought a new 2011 dodge pick up SLT with 20 inch wheels. Im looking to lift the truck 2 inches front and back so I can squeeze tires a few inches taller and meatier on the truck, and give the truck an overall better look. I have been looking at some kits, and it seems some reviews say not to use polyurethane made spacers up front as they wear out and put load on the CV joints. Any opinions or ideas would be great.

Thanks Joe

Personally, I believe that a suspension lift is the correct way to do things. If that isn't in the budget for you, I would look at Bilstein 5100 series shocks for the front which will raise it by 2.8" on the highest setting and Top Gun Customz Spacer blocks for the rear, perhaps in a 1.5" variety to get rid of the factory rake.

Top quality suspension lift kit = BDS

It's pricey though...

Good quality and pricey for sure....but least amount of ground clearance.

If you do a leveling kit do the Bilstiens. If you go suspension, which i would, do some research on all the brands especially the tech specs and how they are lifted. You'd be suprised about all the brands!
