My 2 cents, if you lift or level you are risking those items. If you are ok with that risk then read up on the threads and pick the kit that meets your budget.

My advice:
1. ReadyLift 2.5” level w/trackbar relocation bracket.
2. Ditch the front shock extensions and replace the shocks with the correct length of choice (Fox, Rancho, Bilistein).
3. Professional alignment and definitely install appropriate caster bushings to correct the factory steering feel.

Done

Thankis a million. I know there are short cuts to doing it but given what these trucks cost it only seems right to do it the correct way
