Leveling Kit Components
So I ordered a Kit from Wicked customs and it includes:
Track Bar relocation bracket
Radius Arm drop brackets
Front Factory Shock Extensions
I seen on Ready lift kits they come with
Brake line drop bracket
Bumper extension
and sway bar drop
do you guys with the experience think i should buy the extra components or is what wicked kit enough?
thanks

3.5" is pretty high. Definitely will need to address the track bar and radius arms. Not sure on the brake lines. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to lengthen them.
Are you trying to do it on a budget or is the sky the limit?

I was gonna mention doing it this way also with some adjustable 3link arms versus drop brackets. Then add an adjustable track bar.

2 inches or more will require ball joint alignment cams.
That is if you want to preserve the caster specs.

yes 3.5 is high but i been looking at some pics online and it looks really good.
look up fontenonts diesel performance on Facebook as well as wicked customs Facebook and IG
the 3.5" level looks sweet.
i have the
Track Bar relocation bracket
Radius Arm drop brackets
Front Factory Shock Extensions
all coming
now i think i will do the brake line and sway bar adjustments too.
i will probably change the shocks and more if needed if drivability feels compromised after install. but as of now what i mentioned is all thats being changed
and of course tires
toyos not sure of rt's or at's yet also deciding on 37x12.50 or 295 65 20 keeping stock platinum wheels.
thanks guys for input

Some pics that pushed me to get the 3.5" kit versus 2.5"
All have 37" tires i believe besides the white platinum he's running 35s
so mine will look identical to that if i go 35s
None of these trucks or pics are mine all off the web
