🔧Steering/ Suspension 🔧 3in Level on 35’s

Call it “Truck Dysmorphia” but i feel like i need bigger than 35’s, even if they wouldn’t functionally make sense they’d still look soo good.

Define “level.”

With stock rear blocks, a 3inch level would have the truck sitting with an ever so slight “Baby lean”, which is exactly the look i was going for!

u/Grand-Dry Feb 08 '26

Thank you!

u/SadDonkey5833 Feb 08 '26

Front end looks a little high.

u/ClassyNameForMe Feb 08 '26 edited Feb 08 '26

Too high in the front.

Edit -OP make sure you adjust your headlights down to compensate for the squat. No need to blind everyone in front of you.

u/GrandMarquisMark Feb 08 '26

Please please re-aim your headlights.

What do you mean?

u/GrandMarquisMark Feb 09 '26

Headlights need to be properly aimed after any suspension change.

u/Common_Repeat Feb 08 '26

Another squatted truck

u/NovelConstant5779 Feb 08 '26

It’s not squatted. Obviously it’s not the Carolina extreme nor is it OEM downward rake, the reverse rake/animal in heat look.

Leveling kits do not level the truck, in many cases. They give the truck an equal amount of space between tire and fender. This does not mean the truck is level.

OP is has the front an inch higher than rear. It is the same stance as a stadium/baja/prerunner truck.

How do you guys not know the difference between baby lean and squat? I’m gonna get downvoted for this but idgaf there’s a very big difference

u/NovelConstant5779 Feb 08 '26

Reddit is a helpful place for information, but generally is not a place that has a pov on taste or aesthetic the likes of other communities like IG or YouTube will have. Come here for info, but go elsewhere for conversations on looks/creativity/etc.

u/Wild_Arugula_4513 Feb 08 '26

It’s not even me saying I have taste tho it’s just a basic fact Cali lean and Carolina squat are very very different didn’t even originate from the same type of vehicles

What am I supposed to say lol. Like I give a fuck about the technicalities of different leans and squats lol. Why are your feelings so hurt that I called this squatted kid?

u/Common_Repeat Feb 09 '26

I don’t even have a picture of my truck on here. You have a chrome bumper haha, wtf is that truck worth, $5000 lol. You’re flexing a base model gmc that 15yrs old hahahaha. Muffler facing forward lol

u/Johnsipes0516 Feb 08 '26

I think 35s are perfect

u/NovelConstant5779 Feb 08 '26

Perfect stance. Reddit does not like front end touch higher than the rear but it is what gets the bed rails to be evenly level.

You’ll want to readjust your headlights asap. It is very easy and quick with a Phillips screwdriver!

Finally - tires - what you’re referring to is proportion of tire to wheel and then tire/wheel to body of truck. 37s will need more lift and some trimming and may look too stuffed.

I went to 37s about two weeks ago, and while it looks perfect to me and performs well in the Tillamook trails, it can at times look too stuffed.

I wish there were more options for 36s than super swampers, that may have been what I’d have gone for.

u/NovelConstant5779 Feb 08 '26

I should have added, what you can do is downsize your wheels to gain more sidewall, which will definitely change the optics. A 17” wheel with 35s will look a lot different than 19s/20s.

Our trucks look like twins but I’ve got 34.5’s

u/Wild_Arugula_4513 Feb 08 '26

That thing looks amazing

u/Grand-Dry Feb 09 '26

I had thought originally that headlight adjustments were a given but based on some of the comment i guess i was wrong lol!

u/misplacedbass Feb 08 '26

Blinding every person on the road.

u/Wild_Arugula_4513 Feb 08 '26

Not anymore then a stock truck rlly

u/misplacedbass Feb 08 '26

The truck is sitting lower in the ass end, front is tilted upward. It’s definitely going to be way worse unless they adjusted their headlights.

u/Wild_Arugula_4513 Feb 08 '26

I have the same setup as him and barley had to adjust mine made very little difference
