I was so confused on this subject and these experts just cleared it all up
What performs better, lift with blocks or lifts with new struts?

Me to 😂
I got a 3” leveling kit from rough country. And they do give upper control arms. And they include the spacer blocks for the rear. And front and rear shocks and torsion keys. I guess it depends on what truck u have. It cost me around $750 and made my duramax look really nicr
Interesting video. I've been watching a few of these videos. I do a lot of beach driving on soft sand. Something that wasn't mentioned about leveling kits is that they increase your entry and exit angles on ruts and also make it less likely to bottom out. I put a 2" levelling kit onto My Mitsubishi Triton front and back and it made a huge difference to off road performce by adding ground clearance at the front and back. Levelling kits are not just for cosmetics.
I have been watching this channel over a year. I learned so much. I bought a 2017 Toyota Tundra last March. 2 weeks later I have 4 1/2 inch BDS on 20/10 33/13 , bushwhacker fenders flare. 3 weeks ago I installed ADD stealth fighter bumper, Go Rhino sports bar n Bak X4 bed cover. Bad ass looking truck
Thanks to this channel.
Thanks for the love and support Harold!
I already updated the rear shocks with Ride Grappler.Next move is front coiled over Fox n RBP grill.
Thanks again guys
👍🏿
Breaks it down nicely. Much better understanding of things after watching a few videos from these guys 👍🏼
I've noticed leveling kit spacers make a clunky noise , i don't like it
just got a 04 avalanche 4x4 and has factory suspension with bags in the rear. im looking to add a small lift to the truck to get rid of the factory air ride in the rear so i can go off-roading possibly in the fall with better tires (33s or 35s). since it's my 1st working truck i just wanna be a bit more responsible with the choices out there w/o any issues
This explains why my rough country lift went up 4” rear and closer to 6” in front. Thank you
I was just literally confused by all of this but thank you for clearing it up
Glad we could help!
I choose leveling kit..
Question : Which is better, lift blocks or Shackles? What's the advantages and disadvantages of these two?
Either is fine if you're just looking to get the job done.
U can add a leaf spring to instead of using blocks to lift your rear.🙂😁
Could you make a video about leveling links especially for the Ram Air Suspensions. Thank you
Love this video
I recently found out that, I have a lift kit in front and a leveling kit in the rear but; it’s not even. Front is way higher by like 2-3”.
I've heard from local shops that you are able to use a 2" levelling kit with a 3" lift kit to get 5" lift - is that the case? lifting from the strut and with a block?
I’m not very knowledgeable about this stuff but that sounds like a bad idea, prolly just get a 5 or 6” lift kit instead of that
Mono tube vs twin tube shocks would be a good informal episode.
we've got a couple videos on that topic if you want to take a look, cheers
Awesome Forrest Gump clip at 2:31
Keep pumping out vids Guys!! Us Floridians want y’all to make money on RUclips so that you can do giveaways!! I work my ass off 11 hour days as a landscape foreman only making 14.50 per hour and I got a baby otw! So I’m screwed on being able to buy anything for my truck😏😏 I know my daughter won’t wanna ride home in a bone stock 07 king ranch😂😂😂
You guys are great btw appreciate the videos
Doing and ICON Stage 5 suspension lift kit for my 19 Tacoma TRD Off-Road.
How much was it I’m about to buy a 2021
So can you put leveling spacers in the back too, let's say for a supercar like a lambo and just get a bigger tire as well cause some countries have horrible roads and plenty speed bumps ?????
If I leveled my truck with a 3.5 lift/level kit with new UCAs but replaced the spacer, coil and strut with a 3.5 coilover, I should still be fine running the lift?
I'm getting a 2" leveling kit for my fj so I can fit 33's. Im just doing this for until a can afford a true lift kit..
This is helpful, I got 3" in the front of my Tahoe, so I need a 1" spacer. Easy. Level and effectively lifted 3 inches. Too broke for anything else lmao.
Very informative for me/noob! Thanks
I have a 2015 ram four wheel drive that I'd would just like to level. I am considering front spacers but have been told something like Bilstein 5100's would be a better option. I do not off-road and truck will barely even see gravel. Im considering going with spacers for that reason but would like a more professional opinion. By the way your videos are awesome! Keep up the great work!
Bilstein would be better, but if you aren't going off road or anything you'd be fine with spacers
Is a 3/2 leveling kit for a Toyota Tacoma bad for the suspension?
No it is not! 🙏🏻
I put bigger tire on my 09 dodge ram 2500 and they are rubbing the fender well when I make sharp turns would a leveling kit fix that or do I need a lift

2013 Ford f150 6-in rough country lift came with the 5-in rear block doesn't give you an option for 4-in block
Great explanation
i have a dodge ram 1500 2007 2wd, i want to do a 2inch leveling kit but without messing with the suspension like adding a spacer on top. what are some kits that anyone would recommend ?
Send an email to info@customoffsets.com and they should be able to help you figure out which kit would work best for you!
Guys I need help!! I need a 4inch suspension lift for 08 f150 2wd I cant find one anywhere 😞 I can’t do a 6 due to height restrictions where I live (parking garages, etc)
Installed a 3in motofab leveling kit on my 15 Sierra z71 any recommendations for upper control arms?
Send an email to info@customoffsets.com and see what they recommend!
I have a 6 inch lift now and I would like to go to a 3 inch lift on a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
Could you make a video of "What is a Lift Kit?"... Like the essentials in regards to Jeeps specifically?... Long Arms, Short Arms, Budget Lift Kits (Seen some on Zone Offroads Page for about $600 that are a bit more then just pucks, but confused about the others that are $1200 and up).... Pretty much, a video of What Are Lift Kits for Jeeps made of....? What parts give these lifts the "Flex" over rocks and obstacles on the trails? Are there better or worse Brands?... From XJs to ZJs to Wranglers.... Thanks in advance, I don't want to be confused anymore 😎👌🏻🙂
When leveling your truck, which is a better option, a common spacer or a shock lift assembly such as the Bilstein 5100 shock?
Typically the whole assembly would give you better ride quality but the spacers still get the job done! Check out our suspension kits here!
customoffsets.com/suspension
Would you recommend rough country’s shock assembly, or is there a better product for around the same price?
I did 3" spacer to the front and 2" to the rear on my Chevy Silverado 2015 Z71 but I feel it is not comfortable..
It has rancho struts and shock
Great video. Hey I have a 2018 f150 and I'm planning to get a 2 inch leveling kit but I'm also planning on towing a travel trailer ( can I install air bags on the back to keep it level ) thanks for your time keep up the good work.
Yes airbags should help with squatting, check out our video about towing with lifted trucks!

I have a 2018 GMC Sierra all terrain. All stock .. I want to install a 2.5 level . Would that be okay and not stress my components much ?? Minor back trails. Nothing serious .. ??
FishOnTv I blew my left CV axel on a 2.5 readylift pulling a truck on a trail in my 2014 gmc 1500
I recently bought a 2019 Tundra Crewmax Limited. It’s my daily commuter. I don’t plan to do a bunch of off road. I would occasionally like to tow a Travel Trailer. I wanted to change the factory shocks with TRD Pro Fox Shocks, not sure if I should get the coil over with reservoir. I think a leveling kit is best but I wonder the just changing the shocks with add the lift I want.
reservoirs are overkill unless you're doing a good amount of offroad, otherwise most people cant tell a difference between non reservoir.
I wanna lift my truck 3in but it comes with a strut spacer and blocks and I dont know if it will put too much stress on it.
Shoot us an email to info@customoffsets.com with the year make and model and our suspension expert Brad can get you situated!
I have a 2017 Tacoma. Would I need any additional parts if I'm lifting higher than 3 inches? I keep hearing how you need to install relocation brackets and drop brackets but I'm not really familiar with what that is can anyone explain or is there a video on that?
if you go 3" or higher on the front shock tower, its advised to get new upper control arms for alignment, and to allow for the full cycling of the suspension while offroad.
I have a quick question... I got a 6 inch rough country lift kit. But we put new leaf springs on the truck and now the front end is lower than the back end. What should I do to level the front end with the rear?
sometimes you can get a lifted strut for the front, instead of the factory ones, to gain another inch or two on the front. Or put a taller spacer there than what RC already uses (not advised).
So when should I put blocks in the back vs just replacing the leafs? Is there any pros/cons to the both of them?
That is personal preference, search forums to see what you would prefer!
is it ok if the back of my truck has a 2inch lift..but my front is on stock.?
Totally fine
It doesn't answer the question of what should be done to the rear of a stock truck when doing a 2.5" coilover to the front. Do you replace the rear shocks? Add spacers to the rear? Leave the rear stock?
The choice is yours
when people do coilovers in the front with a 2.5" lift, like Fox king Icon Bilstein etc, usually they add a little something to the rear like a lift block or add-a-leaf to keep it level or a tad higher in the rear. Rear shocks are usually always upgraded/changed when doing front coilovers, most brands have matching rear shocks. You dont want awesome shocks in front and be limited by your rear shocks
I got 4 inch lift and bags on the back of my 14 Chevy 2500, I get level when I’m not towing but I’ll lift in the back when I’m carrying a trailer
I have 2005 Silverado I’m interested in 3 inch but don’t want to hurt my back end
What if I want to level my truck 3-4” in the front but not the back I have a 2017 ram 1500 4x4 and it’s hard to find lift kits I’m tryin to keep the geometry good don’t want to stress to much
Anything over 3" we recommend a kit with a differential drop to avoid bad angles. Take a look at the kits that work for your 2017 ram 1500 4x4 here!

Doing a 3inch lift on my 2020 siverado 2wd any recomendations in liftkits?
BDS, Mcgaughys, ICON etc. There are many good options!
Hey like your video on leveling vs lift kit. I have a 99 dodge cant decide
It is all personal preference man!
SPECIAL REQUEST.. Can you guys do a video on Kelderman Air Suspension Systems? Seriously contemplating on a 8”-10” lift for my Superduty but pretty much all the videos i can find are just guys showing them off. I want the Pros and Cons from the boys at CustomOffsets..
We dont currently offer Kelderman but maybe in the future if we do we possibly could!
10-4.. thank you
2012 z71 with 2 RC level kit, just bought 20×10 with -19 offset and mounted 33 12.50 20 toyo open country at2 extreme. Can i add a 3 inch front and 2 inch rear level kit to gain the clearance i need to eliminate rubbing? Or do i need to remove the 2 inch RC?
Check out our gallery on our website and see what others have gotten to fit on their 2012 Chevy including the rubbing and trimming info aswell!

Hi, i have 4runner base i was thingking to use leveling kit i'm i ok to upgrade the tire a little bit bigger frlm 265/70/r17 to 275/70/r17 without rubbing? Or lift kit is better for that? Thank u
i was looking at a 4" ready lift its just the pucks and shocks in the back has sway bar drop mounts im worried about my cv axels angles whats you opinion its not a dif drop and whats your opinion on the rough country 3" m1 coilovers and shock control arms ext. what would u buy
So what if I have a 2.5 lift kit . Can I add a 2 inch level kit ?
Are there lift kits that increase wheel travel or do i need a mid/long travel conversion? What are optuons for leaf springs in the rear?
if you're looking for more articulation you're going to want to get into actual offroading oriented setups, long travel/mid etc etc! for rears, you can get a few companies that sell leafs. Deaver is one of the more popular
Hello not sure if you have answered this I have a 2012 Ford escape I want to raise it by like 2 inches in the front and rear so I get a little more ground clearance when towing how would you go about this i have been trying to research and just don't really get it still learning all this stuff I believe it sits on the same frame as the ranger,
To our knowledge none of our manufactures make a kit for an Escape, might be stuck with eBay!
I have a 6 inch lift on my truck looking at going to 7-71/2 what do I need to make that happen
The best option would be a 7.5" or a 7" lift kit and replace the 6" kit!
I have a 2001 Ford Excursion 7.3 diesel 2-wheel drive looking to raise at 3 inches either by leveling or suspension lift but cannot find any for 2-wheel drive diesels please help also looking to put 35 inch tires or bigger

Unfortunately you guys don't sell a lift kit for my truck. Was really hoping you did. I have a 1977 Chevy pickup c20 custom deluxe 2wd
Yeah unfortunately with a vehicle that old usually its pretty slim picking if anything is still available. Your best bet would be a custom fabricated lift kit just so everything is made to fit correctly for that truck!
So I've heard both sides of the arguments. I want to get about a 8" lift on a silverado 1500. I was told it would be cheaper to get a 5 inch suspension lift and 3 inch body lift? What's your opinion on this type of setup?
Hi. I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 with the hemi. I was wanting to put a 2in. Block on the rear and a 3in. Spacer in the front. Would i have to replace the shocks and struts for longer ones?
You should be alright, but it wouldn't hurt!
Do a video on your thoughts on Tuff Country lifts. I've been looking at one of their 3 inch lift with an add a leaf spring kit.
look up rough country they r a little cheaper than bds and the higher up brands and I think they r good quality that’s what I have on my 96 f150 it’s a 6inch setting on 20x12 wrapped in 35x12.50x20 toyo mt I actually think it rides better then when it was Just leveled plus I get all kinds of attention in it
Great informative video, thanks for this!!! 💯🤙
I have a 2012 xterra and I’m looking to add 33’s front and rear, should I use a lift kit for front and rear or spacers front and rear

If I use a coil over to level my truck do I need to do any modifications with the front end?
I have a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5 inch bds lift with the leaf package. I kept the stock block under the leafs and the back is sitting slightly higher in the rear. How could I make the truck level?
Try removing the block Kyle!
Custom Offsets thank you!
So lift kits are better on suspension then leveling kits
I have a 2017 f150 that I put a 2.5” leveling kit on and added 33” tires. The issue arose when I found out new f150s have the crash bars. The guys I had doing it had to then use a press to move the bars back slightly, but it still rubs some especially in reverse. My question now is if I were to do a 3 or 4” lift kit, would that clear all the rubbing??
I have a leveling kit on my 2016 f150 I have no rubbing running my 33 mud tires
I was told there will be the same issue with my 2014 if I do 35s with anything less than a 4” life
@@steveirnwitt9154 you have to do 6 with 35 inch n a little bit of trimming
IKESTERrocks did u remove your crash bars? Mine only rubs turning but the bars are definitely the issue.
@@richardk2010 no didn't have to do anything to crash bars what size leveling kit u got?
Correct me if I'm wrong
Between all the mods in suspension and/or chassis lifting or leveling; won't the alignment of the drive train of any brand vehicle need to be realigned compared to coming from the factory being on spec?
I've been thinking just recently of either "lifting/leveling" out my Taco but yet don't want to suffer mpg due to having any of the chassis or suspension compromised by the aftermarket mods. I've seen some cool ass looking Tacos around me that're lifted/leveled out but wonder how the installation and/or realignment is done.
Thank you in advance for the response whenever you guys respond.
alignment is easy with most kits. If you're talking driveshaft angle, there's carrier bearing spacers that get used to correct that angle on taller lift kits
What 2" leveling kit would u recommend for a 2019 Silverado RST Z71? What better spacer on top or bottom
Hey Bill, send an email to info@customoffsets.com and they should be able to help you figure out which kit would work best for you!
Do you think if I put a 3 inch level on a Silverado and put a new better upper control arm in, it will be safe and more reliable?
Yes it doesn't hurt to replace old parts that will wear eventually!
Asking this question seems kind of stupid but do i need to replace my controll arms for ones rated with my lift height and do i need to get a new Pitman arm and idler arm wit the lift ? Only found controll arms 1-3 in lift want to go to 6 in. And the pitman arm was 4 in

I wanna level my 06 Silverado with 2in front spacers... would I need to replace anything after doing that?
Shouldnt have to! Everything you would need should come in the kit!
Custom Offsets okay thanks!
Do a bds 3inch coilovers vs bds 4.5inch on the 2015+ gmc 2500
Thanks I was really confused
Good stuff great advice leveling kit would be nice, what off road tires would you suggest that give that look along with level kit.
Check out this video!! bit.ly/2MfALIO
I really want to lift my truck but idk what to buy I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport it’s levelled now 2.5” front and back I was wondering what is a good brand for a 4” or 6” lift I want good quality but I have a budget
Question for ya! Or anyone who can give input... 02 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4, I have the rough country 1.5-2.5” levelling kit with 3” rear blocks. I’ve got 33s on 20” chromes, is there anything I can do ontop of this besides a body lift to get like an extra inch or two lift? Besides buying a whole new kit. The current setup only has new keys, and blocks in the rear btw... can I get a shock spacer kit or different control arms?
Besides a body lift we don't recommend stacking any other kits. You safest option would be to just order a larger kit. Check out our suspension kits here!

I drive tahoe 2011 4x4 I want lift my truck 3.5 inch, can't I put spacers front nd rear
What do you guys think of a 3” level up front and 2” blocks in the rear for 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4?
Sounds like a good setup!
I watch more now that Fuller does the videos👍🇺🇸👊 sorry Shawn
I keep hearing different opinions about the "ride" in reference to coil vs leveling/spacers. Can you explain the technical affect on the "ride" or smoothness of drive. I plan on putting all terrains on a 2020 tacoma.
You will definitely have better ride quality with Coils vs leveling/spacers!
So would a spacer leveling kit do ok when off-roading or should I get a suspension leveling kit?
A suspension lift would be ideal but if you are just doing some mild off-roading a spacer kit should be just fine! Check out our suspension kits here if you are interested in an upgrade!
customoffsets.com/suspension
I know the higher you go the more stress on parts but would a two inch level really put stress on stuff
Anything other than factory will cause a little extra wear and tear!
So A 2" leveling kit should be alright? Not putting too much stress
Correct!
I drive my truck everyday to work and I have to park in a structure the structure says that the clearance is 6'6" How do I figure out how high I can go probly just on 33 And I want a suspension lift not Body Left 2012 1507 Silverado
Just got a 2018 Expedition. Most of the looks I like are 3” ready lift kits. My concern is the stress to surrounding components and ride? Daily driver, mostly on road but want a nice stance and aggressive tires. Any advice or thought? Thanks.
Typically if its a 4wd we recommend that you get a differential drop bracket with a lift kit over 3". But you can also check out our gallery and see what others have on their Expeditions to give them stance!

what happens when your truck already has a leveling kit and you want a 4 inch lift, does it go up 4 inches in the back since it’s leveled out?
So a lift kit levels my truck?
I own a 2012 tacoma,is there a leveling kit that will not require the rear suspension to be raised?
Body vs Suspension lift kit please!
body lift gets you 1-3" keeps same ride quality. suspension, gives you actual ground clearance/possible better ride.
Is there a lift kit for a Honda passport 98 ? Help plz or leveling kit
Unfortunately no im not seeing anything available for your passport
i have 2012 2wd toyota tacoma and i wanna get it leveled,what size level kit i should buy.
Here are the leveling kits we have available for your 2012 Toyota Tacoma 2wd!
www.customwheeloffset.com/store/suspension?sort=popular&year=2012&make=Toyota&model=Tacoma&drive=2WD&sub=Leveling%20Kits
If I’m just leveling the front to be level with the stock ride height in the rear of my Tacoma will it affect the life span of the truck?
It may cause extra wear and tear in the future but you would be fine! 🙏
