    I own a 2018 Limited quad cab, silver in color. I had it leveled for the look but now whenever I pull my boat, it looks a little awkward, slightly tilting down. Wondering about a lift kit to 1. Take care of this issue, but 2. Get a little more aggressive look. Given I’m a 63 yr. old retired married man, Any suggestions that won’t make it look like I’m in a mid life crisis, but also so my wife doesn’t complain about it being too tall for her to get in and out of the truck. For reference, I currently run the stock rims and 275/60 R20 KO 2 tires and would like to retain these.

    If you are talking about the back squatting with the boat hooked up, I would consider the RAS (Roadmaster Active Suspension). There are quite a few members here that have it. Here is a thread on it. @memario1214 is our go to for truck goodies and he will help you out.

    Option 3, don't worry about it squatting when you tow the boat.
    The real fix is to take the leveling kit off so you have the factory rake back. Then it won't look squatty when you tow. If you're only towing the boat occasionally, let er squat a little.

    How about taking the leveling kit off and just going for a lift that’s not too aggressive but gives the truck a little lift? Any ideas of kits and sizes?
