    I have a 2011 platinum tundra and would like to increase ground clearance by a couple of inches for hunting. I’m not a serious off road guy.I’m thinking leveling kit vs lift kit Any suggestions would b appreciated . I have 20” alloy wheels with 275/55r20 tires

    Just to get this aspect of it out of the way, the only mechanism to increase the clearance of the entire vehicle would be to increase the tire/wheel height.

    A front and rear suspension lift will increase your approach/breakover/departure angles, but not the height of the rear axle.

    A leveling kit will only really increase the approach angle.
