    Hello all,

    I want to raise my truck 2016 CM TRD 4.6.L about 2'. What is a good kit to start with that doesn't break the bank and provide a smooth ride. Thanks in advance.

    Bilsteins, not expensive compared to other shocks and better than spacer lifts. Stay away from spacers.

    Toytec suspension/ leveling kit.
    I like the Bilstein 5100 series where you can adjust the height

    No problem. I have Toytec BOSS shocks. They're about 1200 for all 4. Worth it IMO

    And adjustable from 1"-3.5"

    Billies are clip adjustable and BOSS are thread adjustable. Threads are better to me.

    Biltsein 5100 shocks, BFG 315/70/17, tinted windows, TRex billet grille insert, more to come.
    I just added the Bilstein shocks last week. Cost the same as a level kit, and got new front shocks. So far, they are great.

    More on the way
    In the process of doing bilstein 5100 all the way around. Depending on the age of your rears they may be fine and you can just Change the front

    the bilstein 5100's are a good bang for the buck.

    here is my truck with the 5100's at 1.5". I am very happy with the ride.
