Leave it levelled or step up to the 3.5” lift?

[greekboyas]

Hey guys, first off, hope you’re all staying safe and staying indoors.

So I am torn here. I’m deciding whether to step up to a 3.5” lift (ReadyLift or ProComp) or if I should just keep the level on it for a clean look.
Right now I’m running 33” Nitto Ridge Grapplers with 22x10 -24 Fuel Mav’s.
I’d be getting 35x12.5r22’s, staying with the Nittos as I love this tire.
Fuel mileage is on average 12MPG in the city, and 18-20 on the highway. I’d have to brace for the fact I’d probably lose at least 2mpg. Not a big deal.
Sorry for the long post y’all

In short, step up to a 3.5” lift with 35’s, or stay levelled with 33’s? Give me your opinions.
Thanks boys, look alive

I went back and forth with this same thing. I just felt like the 35s looked a lot better on the truck so I went with the 3.5” SST and 35x12.5s.

What if you meet in the middle and do 35’s on your level and see what you think at first?

If I can pull off 35’s on a level, I’d rather do that. Doubt they’ll fit tho

I love it

Greekboyas - Does your truck have the Off Road Package? I've been doing research on whether to do a level kit or the 3.5 Readylift as well but several shops have given me conflicting information about the gain on the package due to the ORP. I'm looking for the safest and most factory feeling way to level or slightly lift the truck. I want to do 33" nitto' s and Fuel 22x10's with -18 Offset. Any help is appreciated.

How does your truck ride with the ready lift? Also, does it squat down when you tow? Your truck is looking good, how much offset on the wheels? Thanks.

Any problem with rubbing with the 35s and the 3.5” RL?

I don't think I'd be able to get my truck in my garage if I did a 3.5 inch lift, LOL

it's a shame you have 22" wheels because Nitto makes a 35x11.50R20LT E 124Q ridge grappler which is only 11.42" wide tire but only for 20" wheels. bummer

truck looks great. Can I ask what wheels these are. They look similar to my stock Laramie sport wheels. I don’t think the stocks can take 35’s though. Thanks

I think our models are the same (I think). You 2wd or 4wd? Any advice for someone on the same path? I'm looking at Ridge Terra AT G2 and 20inch wheels.

I just saw this.... Sorry for delay. Truck rides great. I have towed anything yet but I take take 40 bags of soil last weekend and the bed stayed level.

Rides great

Local shop added 2" spacer for the rims (had to safe a little money to keep momma happy so I kept the stock rims)

It doesn’t have the ORP! I’ve seen advice against getting the 3.5” on trucks equipped with that package. I’ve heard mixed reviews so I’m still left unsure about to either get that lift or the 4.5” suspenion lift from Zone.

34s on level with smaller wheels - 18s

4.5” from Zone? Are you sure it’s for 5th gens? As far as I know Zone doesn’t have anything out except for a 6” lift.
