Default Which leveling kit?

Seen numerous kits like Ready Lift, Top Gun, Toytech, etc which kit is the best and why? I like the cost of the Top Gun over the ready lift but is it that much better? Havent seen many reviews of each. Do they accelerate wear in the front suspension compnents? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking to also add some 18" Rockstars and some 33x12.50x18 Toyo MTs

I finally got my tires today. They're 33x12.5x20 with no rubbing AT ALL. on a 3/1 readylift. Money well spent.

The ready lift is like 340 for front and rear, I thought that was kind of high but I always beleive you get what you paid for, just wanted to know the differences in each

If I get the leveling kit and get it aligned do I have to get it realigned when I get my tires?

its best to do it all at the same time, but prob not...unless your oging with like 35" tires, but ask your alignment shop what they think

Whatever you pick, you really should plan to have an alignment shop do some final tweaking, and have your dealer do a "zero point calibration" after changing the angle of your drive components. It sounds like a lot of work but should be a minimal shop charge (like less than 1 hour) for each.

Someone talked about the truxx lift, which I have heard is great and allows you to put it on yourself without special tools (coil spring compressor). I am pretty sure they are all essentially the same. I have found that you should let the shop you trust pick the lift they trust/like to install...
