Is leveling worth it as a highway queen?

[Finn5033]

Well I’ll share anyways. This was my 2019 big horn. 1-1/2” level in the front with 275/60/20 (33”) tires on stock wheels

I just did a 2" leveling puck and I can say it does make the feeling more planted which you can say it's firm but not harsh at all. I'm really picky on how my truck feels. I had dropped the rear when I first bought it and didn't like it. I took them off within two weeks. Now with the front leveling pucks, I love the feeling of it. I need to take a few photos mine soon. I'm still on stock tires, but will be upgrading to 275/60R20's by next year.

Bilstein 5100 front level with 33 tires and rides just like stock. Added hellwig sway bar and feels even better then stock.

Oooh okay, so if that's the case you think if I go with the bilstein 5100 front and with 285/65/r18 falken at wheels it'll ride smoother than stock ? Ofc I'll add the sway bar aswell.

I dont like the eagle touring that comes with my laramie sport on 22s.. it seem flimsy.. and I did feel it slip the other day when I was in the rain

Leveling isn’t really an on or off road thing, it’s an appearance thing ….. Bils give what most people describe as a “better” ride …. More stable and planted …. Stock ride is more plush and floaty … As mentioned above, you lose ride quality when you get into the E load tires …. I had em on my 2012, and didn’t mind them at all ….

Aww man I actually put a deposit down for some LT285/65r18 E rated tires the other via the falken at3w....

I was going to so the bilstien in front aswell and the sway bar as mentioned just so overall it'll be a better ride but seem like base on what you're saying me picking the e rated tires was a mistake

I just ordered a front set of 5100’s, looking for a decent price on a hellwig. Do I need new UCA if I stay at setting 5?

You’re fine with the Falkens …. Anything bigger than the P275 stock ****years is going to jump to an LT E load …. You don’t have any choice …. Some people ***** about em, but I didn’t mind em at all … Stiffer sidewall in a bigger tire means better handling …. It’s all give n take …. You’ll be fine, unless you have a super sensitive butt …. And I sure as **** don’t want an answer to that ….. Lol

Nitro Ridge Grapplers come in a variety of sizes bigger than stock in a non LT tire.

I have a 2 inch Readylift level with stock uca's. No complaints about ride quality, although I think there is a little side roll compared to stock. I did put larger LT e-rated AT tires on. Still great ride quality but mpg probably 2-3 lower.

Leveling will cost you mpg.

 

[BowersFJ]

Leveling will cost you mpg.

Maybe 1-2 mpg can be blamed on the level …. Larger tires will cost you a few more …. But it’s a full size 4WD truck with a Hemi V8 …. If you’re worried about mileage, get a Ridgeline, and convince yourself it’s a real truck …. Lol

OP said it's a Highway Queen. You are describing an off road truck.

Ehh I didn't notice any MPG loss with my 2" motofab leveling kit. Tires are usually the culprit as anything taller then the factory tires weigh more.

Wrong again …. My 2012 had 5”F/3”R lift with 35 X 12.50 Toyo ATII’s ….. Never offroad

Same PN. Some people mention buying smaller end links others just keep the factory.
