Rough Country, Super Lift, HRG, FordRangerLift, Eibach Lift Springs, Leveling Kits

Trying to decide how to get my puppy off the ground a little more.

Everything currently on the market is 1-2.5ish inches lifting the vehicle in a multitude of ways. My question is - what's the best option at this point to give as much lift as I can, gain clearance underneath, is going to hold-up well to light off-roading, and cause as little added wear-and-tear to factory components of the truck as much as possible? I don't care too much about the well-known reduction of gas mileage. I don't care at all about maintaining rake (I'd actually like to center the rear wheels as much as possible as some lifts I've seen on here make it very apparent the difference in distance between the rear wheel and well liner) and I don't plan on towing too much with her.

Any experts that can speak on the subject?

The rear wheels center on spring compression. If it were lifted and centered too much, they would rub on compression.

I dont have mine yet but I ordered a Tremor. Seems to be that the two most happy types of lifters are people that put on the fordrangerlifts kits or the eibach spring kit buyers.

Hopefully you get your Tremor soon! I was leaning toward the Eibach spring kit as I have seen very positive reviews on here for it.

What will you be installing? If you plan on it that is.

Lots has been discussed on this on this forum. In the interest of not repeating all my personal experiences, I'll link to two threads below. One is an overview of my lift build and the other is my real-world fuel economy experience post lift.

All I'll add otherwise is that is seems most of those unsatisfied or who have had issues with lifts have been the "puck-style" ones that simply bolt spacers onto the struts. I can't speak from personal experience, but it seems to be those are the ones to avoid.

I just ordered the HGR leveling kit(1.5") so we will see how it goes on and then performs! Had both spacer lifts and spring lifts in the past, not a huge difference that I could tell...that was on Jeeps though, they already ride funny LOL

My HRG kit has been running strong for 11k miles now. On the spacer lift side I think FordRangerLifts and HRG are the standouts. RC has questionable rep and quality and Superlifts seems more likely to prematurely wear suspension components with the bigger lift height. ReadyLift and RTR may be other options that are similar to HRG. HRG is also nice bc it comes with front adjustable camber bolts

Eibach and H&R both seem solid on the spring side. I have no experience with either of their lift springs. Back in my street car build days I tended to prefer H&R bc I had a few Eibach sets that seemed to always sag.

My HRG setup has done well for everything I have done so far. I do plan to switch to the Flatout GR setup sometime later this year.
