3in leveling kit problem

Hello all
I put a 3+1 Truxx leveling kit on my truck and i'm having a problem with misalignment and not enough room between my strut and upper A-arm anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Unfortunately, you have found out what members here discovered back in 2004. 3 inches is just too much lift for the 2004-2012 trucks. 2.5 inches is the absolute limit. You need to replace your 3 inch kit with a 2 or 2.5 inch kit.

I'll right to easy sadly my tires i have now are to big to roll under that little of lift what do you think? I'm only running 305 65 r18 I've seen good 4in lifts from different company's but i don't know if they will stand up to the punishment of my fishing expeditions will 33's look good under that? and do you know of a decent lift that will stand up to the punishment of a fishing and off road truck?

And any lift will hold up better than trying to cram that huge leveling kit in there.

Punishment of fishing expeditions? Do you take it 30 miles out to sea or something?

A 305/65-18 is more like a 34x12.50 tire. If you are using the stock wheels, a 35x12.50 will fit using the stock wheels and a 2 inch leveling kit.
