'24 AT4 I'm considering putting the 1.75" leveling kit on. Does this noticeably impact (positively or negatively) the ride?

Any downside to it? I think it looks really nice in the pictures I've seen

If you are just talking spacers, it will definitely impact your ride and you will lose a significant amount of down travel. If you don't leave pavement, you probably won't notice. If you do then it will suck.

Lifting coilovers are better, but you will still lose down travel.

Best is coilovers and new upper control arms to get your angles back to stock. Whatever you decide always get an alignment done after any suspension changes.

Did AI get this right?



Fox 2.0 or King 2.5 coilovers set around 1.51.75 inches
Matching rear shocks
Cognito / Dirt King / Camburg upper control arms
Alignment immediately after install

Cognito is top of the line when it comes to UCA's. If money isn't a concern, go for them. But you can get some other very good ones for half the price and not tell a difference.

I like the zone offroad ones for best value. They are made in the same factory as BDS (also top of the line). Just a different logo on them. If I were ranking them it would go

Cognito
BDS
Zone
KSP

Goes without saying that with a newer truck, something I assume you're planning on taking care of, never let anything rough country touch it. Just one man's opinion though..

Thanks. I just hit 30k miles. I like making little adjustments that still keep it looking relatively stock.

Roll n lock bedcover
USA flag bed hole-fillers
Blacked out fender badges
AT4 puddle lights

I don't want to adjust the wheels and tires yet. If I do, I want to put the AT4X 18" on it with bigger tires. But honestly, the level is the most I want to do in terms of stance. I think it looks excellent.

That being said, if I'm going to tinker with the level, I want it to be completely beneficial to the function of the truck. If I'm risking any performance, I'd rather not do it.

Check out shocksurplus.com. They have some build your own kit options that allow you to pick and choose your components based on price. I have the Cognito UCA's with Fox 2.0's and they are great. Bought from Cognito. They ship it setup for a 1" lift. The coilovers have room for adjustment left, but being aluminum bodies, it is not recommended to adjust the spring perch without disassembling the coilover as to not gall the threads on the shock body.
ETA I have an AT4 as well.
