Looking for a 2” lift not a leveling kit...

I have a 2021 2500 6.4 auto leveling rear air, trying to find a 2” lift front and rear. I don’t want to “level” the truck, I actually like how it sits. All the kits I have found lift the front 1.5”-2.5” higher than the rear. Any ideas, I want to put 35” tires on it without any trimming and need the clearance when I go in the fields.

Thats most likely gonna require you to source parts to do your own kit most lift kits remove the rake for some reason you can buy 2” front kits and 2” rear kits that way it lifts level....

That’s what I was thinking... May have to buy a 2.5” front kit and fabricate my own rear spacers to match the front

You can buy rears too

Closest I can find for the rear is 2”, I see BDS makes a 2” front spacer kit, but I would rather not use spacers on the front, all the coils I find for the front are 2.5” but are for diesels, not sure if that really makes a difference
 
I have carli 2.5 level in the front and ordered carli +1 coils for the back. 7/8 of an inch of rake. Should be here this week.

I much prefer spacers bacause the replacement coils are way to soft
 
pure performance has rear springs for these trucks. I'm running their 2.5" rear springs to keep a bit of rake, with carli 3" fronts.

Didn’t think about that... Thuren wants you to use their shocks with their springs, probably for that reason.

You can use any shocks you like with a 2 inch lift. I have bilstein 5100s on my carli 2.5 inch level.

Thats just a sales ploy any extended shocks will be acceptable or just shock spacers will work
 
Exactly. The bilsteins say on the website that they're for a 2.5 inch lift. They're the same length as stock. Literally no difference. However for lifting the rear you need longer ones. 24-066464 is what I stumbled upon for a 5100 Bilstein. Will install this week.

I see them listed as 0-2.5” lift i beleive even the oem shocks will accommodate 2.5” up front
 
On a bump where the suspension "falls away" it's a bit clunky. I'm going to try the 24-066464 in the front too eventually.
 
Thanks for all your input, I’m going to go with the Traxda spacers and Bilstein 5100 shocks, just need to look for longer rods for the rear level sensor.
