I’ve measured my truck heights, front wheel area and rear wheel area. After doing the simple math, I see that to level the truck I need a 2.5” spacer in the front. So why are people using 2.0” spacers. Readylift only has a 2.0” spacer for the 2021 model and they consider that to be leveled. Am I missing something? Does putting a 2” spacer somehow lower the back? I know visually you might not be able to tell that there is still a .5” slant in the front. Sorry newbie to leveling. Any advice? Your thoughts

It depends on if you want to leave some factory rake or now, for towing or whatever. I prefer dead nuts level, so I’ve always gone with the 2.5” and will on my 22 whenever I get it

The 2020 and older was 2.25", and the 2021 is 2".

Look at @Stage3Motorsports , theirs will fit a 2021 and level 2.5"
