I'm going to do a 1.5 inch level. 2 inch will probably be perfectly level but I prefer a slight rake.

There's a little bit of info in the rho suspension thread

Picking my truck up on Friday. I plan on installing a level kit. I am not a fan of the heavy front rake. I have been following the TRX forums to see what has worked well and what problems have been created by the kits. Mt take away from the forums is 2" would be the max increase. The trucks that have been running the Eibach 2.7" springs and the Geiser 3" springs appear to be destroying their CV axles due to the severe angles created by that much lift. There is a company out of Australia that makes a front diff drop kit but it forces you to permanently modify the trucks frame and is a bit difficult to install. I have also noticed quite a few issues with tire rubbing because of aggressive off-set. The factory off-set appears to be +19 and the trucks running close to that number have less rubbing issues, so I will stick with a +18 if I decide to bump up to 37" tires.

If anyone finds the best option to raise the front end 1” or 2” without stiffening up or ruining the ride quality.. please do share.

37s, no level, no rubbing, no significant rake.

Any noticeable rubbing? How about the overall acceleration, did you notice a difference from the extra weight? Thanks.

Zero rubbing. You can feel the extra weight as you would on any truck with larger all terrains. I did the same on my TRX and the RHO feels better.

I know it's a cold day here in CO, but when you have chance, can you post more pics of your vehicle?

Sure. Busy family weekend but I’ll try to take some shots early next week if I can’t tomorrow.

Do you think a 13.5 would rub? 12.5's are skinner then factory tires. I'd like to get a little more poke with the 13.5's

My tire guy said he would not install 13.5’s as I didn’t want there to be any rub or cutting. I’ve read mixed opinions in the TRX forum. Some say yes, some say no without a lift.

12.5 looks no skinnier than the factory tire (it’s literally a 7mm difference). Neither look skinny at all. 37x12.5 just fills the wheel well. Looks like it should have come this way.
