Cool part is, if you pull off the whole kit (Spacers, shocks, track bar bracket, etc.) it's worth something to someone and you can sell it to recoup the cost. I hear you, though. Buying twice sucks. Back in the Days of learning suspension, I had a 2006 Mega-Cab Dodge. My progression:
2.5" Leveling Kit - Dealer Installed
3" KORE Kit with Pure Performance Track bar and control Arms.
6" Superlift
6" Superlift upgraded to Thuren's King shocks
Death-wobbled
Scrap it all and spent over $10K on a 6" Carli with Ball Joints, 08.5+ steering upgrade and new Toyo's. Never had another issue and was comfortable putting my wife behind the wheel again.
TL;DR: I like to waste money, learn from my mistakes.
At least I will know I am not the only one that will have gone through that. Also happy my wife is a pro at selling my spare stuff online, helps make a good chunk back when I change things up.

To put my wife in charge of that, she'd need to know what I paid. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life.
I want to do the 2.5 with 37’s but not too excited about trimming. Can someone post a pic of what needs to be trimmed and what it looks like?
Thanks in advance.
I have the 2.5" with 37 Toyo RT on 20x9 +18 offset wheels. I have not trimmed anything. I did heat up the little plastic body seam protectors at the back of the wheel well and push them back a little.
the tires do rub barely at full lock on the radius arms and drivers side of the sway bar

Sounds like a +0 offset with fender flares would work just fine. -18 offset may be better if you don't mind kicking up rocks on the side of your truck.
I decided to pull the trigger on the carli coils and I realized I don't have the stock lower spring perch bolt because it was removed when the bds spacers were bolted on. Can anyone help me with either a p/n for it or an exact measurement and thread pitch.

Can you attach some pics of your setup both from the side for the stance, and then from the front or back down the side to see the stickout? I am really interested in what +18 offset with Toyo R/T's looks like. I have been in the +0/+18 offset debate for some time now.

I have 35’s. Should be same side profile if your going with 12.5” wide tires. And I only have front pics, didn’t take any rear pics at that time. The rear does not stick out as much as fronts. And the +18 offset will still spray up dirt/mud on the side of the truck. Just not nearly as much as the more aggressive offsets.
I have some +1 offsets to clear my reservoirs. They stick out, but not as bad as I thought they would. The rears are almost exactly even with the fenders.
