Tried searching...2024 1500 bison here. looking to get a 4" lift on it. Guy at local shop said the only option i had was a strut spacer, if I had the gas motor, then he could do new front struts. Seems ridiculous, but i'm kind of with him on ordering parts and then they don't bolt up. So what are yalls recommendations? Truck suspension is bone stock except for the 2" bora spacers. Stock tires and wheels, would like to go up to 35's and keep the stock wheels (hoping the spacers let me do that, I see a lot of kits saying stock wheels won't fit because of tie rod or control arm interference). It is kinda looking like the peak level kit is going to be the best option, but I really wouldn't mind a BDS 4" with the fox shocks all around. Help! and thanks

Yes that's correct 18" wheel won't fit b/c of tie rod interference, but a stock 20" will fit on bds kit. I had strut spacers on bds kit before coilovers and the ride didn't change. If a drop bracket kit is done aftermarket wheels are pretty much the only option. Even with some leveling kits too if uca is changed for more droop travel and alignment. If you want coilovers there are a few companies that could change the spring out for a different rate, Accutune being one. My fox coilovers made for gas engine on old truck was a 650 spring rate which helps for leveling the truck most stock spring rate is 600. There's only about 40 lbs difference in weight between L87 and 3.0. If you don't want to spend a lot of money then peak is a good option.
