Level kit - would you do it again?

    I've settled on wheels and tires but now my biggest question is to level or not?

    I want to hear from folks who have a level - would you do it again? Why or why not?

    Here's my rationale if you care for more context. I love how smooth the truck rides stock but I think it looks pretty wimpy. I'll be upgrading to SL 285/60R20 Toyo AT3s (48lbs) with +20 20x9 Weld wheels (35lbs). I know this will fit stock based on feedback in the 3rd gen wheels and tires thread but with just a 1" Cornfed level it would look so much better.

    The level is cheap and easy to install but I'm worried I might regret it. The ATs will ride rougher than the stock Yokos and the level will likely make it ride rougher still. Would love to hear some commentary on just the level.

    A half inch shim up front getting you close to 1" of lift will not have any noticeable affect on smoothness in my experience. I did not notice any difference whatsoever on my TRD Pro when I added a 1/2" shim up front or the 1" shim in the rear. You should get an alignment afterwards and I would suggest a 1/4" shim under your front bump stops too.
