Level question
So I've been looking at threads on levels and reading lots over the past 2 months. Appreciate everyone posting pictures and install details but now I have a question and maybe a few related questions.
I'm thinking a 1 1/2" level is probably the area I'm looking for on my 350 CCSB SRW 6.7L. A small rake when not towing and not squatting like a dog when towing 8-10k is the goal. Looking to get 35x12.5 Toyo AT's on the stock Platty 20" rims after one cross country trip (might as well save the new tires). I keep hearing about the axles moving to one side and that track bar relocates are required on the bigger levels. What about the slight levels? Does the 1/2" of movement left/right cause excessive wear or damage suspension components? Does it make the truck drive worse tracking road imperfections etc.?

I talked to Ready Lift and their relocation bracket is 1" offset from stock, so it will over correct for the 1.5 level (1/2" shift to the left), but be perfect for the 2.5-3" level/lift.

From what I've been able to see they both carry the same load rating. Currently both my trailers have a max of 7000lbs (3500lb axles), I was just looking for down the road if I upgrade trailers/bigger loads.
Nobody has experience with not doing the relocate?
