Hi guys, I have a 2013 SuperCrew and want to level it out. It’s my daily, and isn’t used offroad a lot, but I do plan to do light offroading and camping with it.

Because of that, I want to make sure whichever route I go doesn’t tear up my front end components immediately.

leaning away from mid perch on stock springs because it still won’t be level, and I’ve heard top perch is super rough.

Really between mid perch Geisers or low perch Eibachs.

Please post WITH PICS and experiences. Really want to see trucks with no rear suspension mods and 35’s. Thanks!

Oh and if anyone has a stock grill, please let me know lol.

Welcome to FRF.

#BlackRaptorsMatter

Not sure what you are after, are ypu planning on 35's with stock of aftermarket wheels. that is pretty dang level looking from the pics. You arent going to rip fenders or flares doing light off roading with that stance.

Do you have any suspension mods?

37's here

So I want the truck to sit level. It’s my daily, so I can’t (and don’t want to) go crazy with it, but I do take it offroad and I want more front end clearance. I want it to sit like my dads SE (pictured next to mine in the original post), however his has a leveling spacer in it from a previous owner and I refuse to do that.

Not worried about rubbing. It’s on one week old 35x12.5 KO2’s and stock wheels. I just don’t like the rake. Included are measurements of my fenders and a pic of the stance I want.

This has become a question of cost now.

How much do you want to spend

Either way is the way to level

What do you have done to yours? And which sits higher? If mid perch Geisers sit at the same height, I’ll probably do Eibachs because it doesn’t make sense (to me at least) to eliminate the progressive portion of the Geisers vs just getting Eibachs that are designed to run at that height.

And will this destroy my CV’s? I still have IWE’s and don’t plan to delete them.

You've got a whopping 11.2" of front suspension travel. Every inch you raise it over stock is one less inch of dropout (aka "rebound"), and the ride quality will become firmer. Going from OEM wheels with 34mm offset 20220221_192028.jpgto new wheels with zero offset ^^^ (the most common choice), means even the stock 35's will scrub the wheel well liners on a hard impact while they can crack your fenders on a really hard impact.20220221_190816.jpg

bfg 37's on stock 34mm offset wheels: definitely limits travel. And turning radius too.20220221_195254.jpgBut, you will kill it at the mall :)

I plan to stay with stock wheels and 35’s. Don’t plan to jump the truck. Just want more front end ground clearance for better approach angles, and honestly don’t like the factory rake. I don’t tow with it, and the entire idea behind the truck is for it to be a camping rig with that cap. Just want to know the best way to level it out lol.
