Can you link the disk and block you are using for leveling kit please?
I'm not sure which disc and block it is. I just let Southern Offroad Specialities in *******, Ga take care of it. One of their techs had a Gen 2 Raptor leveled the same way and I liked the stance. They have been leveling my trucks for years so I trust them. You could give them a call and ask. The purists on here don't like leveling, but it is cheaper and there is no rubbing even with off roading.

Cool I’m in Alpharetta and have been wondering about a place to install springs if I go that route

You won't be disappointed with the KM3s - they are great in everything I've tried them in - dry, wet, sand, mud. No snow or ice yet.
I've only driven about 200 mls. on the KM3'S so far & looking forward to a couple of Michigan off road trips soon. At slower speeds (still 38psi) they seem a little harsher, but at highway speeds they're as plush as my VR 602's & KO2's. Yes, somewhat noisier than the KO2's, but the guys at my local 4WP were amazed at how the KM3's "balanced up" with very few weights.

I also played with a 2x4 yesterday to check what tire clearences would be & w/o a lift the 37's KM3's would definitely rub on a stock 2018. Definitely like the "37" look but not sure if I want to upgrade to a 2020 before considering a lift.

On another note....I had a long conversation yesterday about "manufacturers spec." sizes vs actual (35" family is spec @ 34.4" actual @ 33.7") with my local 4WP rep. He said it's a huge industry headache especially when working with tight clearances (also rim width & offsets are a factor)! Anyway he has ordered a set of 35x12.50-17 KM3's tires for me to see if they measure closer to "spec"...if they do he will exchange/credit my current tires plus the cost difference of the new tires to make me happy.

Curious as to how they measure out as this may be my replacement to the stock 35 KO2's. Definitely not interested if they are in fact 33.7"

37’s KO2’s w/ icon 1.75 in collars. Still can off-road but rubs in the rear pretty quickly once I changed the rims from stock. Pretty sure if I was running a true 37 my fenders would be trashed lol
