I recently installed an 80 lb brush guard that caused my front end to drop another inch. The rake was already at least 3 inches and now it's about about 4 inches. I don't need it completely leveled and would prefer a 2.5-3 inch lift, but will settle for 2 inches. I won't be doing much offroading or towing, but may occasionally.

My questions are..

1. What type/brand/model leveling kit would you suggest?

2. Would replacing just the springs and maybe adding a 1 inch spacer be a safe option?

Thanks in advance!!

I recently bought a black semi gloss brush guard and it clashes with the matte black on my trim, rims, fender flares, bumpers, etc that I currently have installed. Im looking for advice on whether or not I should sand and spray a matte clear coat on the brush guard or go with a blackout look and add more features on the truck that match the semi gloss black look? For example, I plan on installing rain guards/bug guard and am trying to determine if I should get dark smoke to match the brush guard or go with matte. Additionally, I plan on installing a silver topper with tinted windows and would install a semi gloss rack on top to match the grill guard and rain guard/bug guard (if I get the dark smoke and keep the semi gloss brush guard). Which way would you go if you were considering these two options?
