I looked through quite a bit of the 61 page thread about leveling the Tremor, but I am still unsure what to do. I am looking for (mostly) an economical option, but I also want the truck to be done well. That being said, this truck will not see significant off-road duty - it will be my DD so ride comfort is important (don't want to significantly impact the ride quality), but it still needs to be able to competently handle mild off-roading situations.

The most likely scenario for wheels/tires will be Raptor take-offs or something with the same specs (17x8.5 +34 with 315/70/17 BFGs). I did have a '21 Tremor, and I am going off of memory here, but I definitely had a 2.5 leveling kit on it - I think it was the pro-comp strut spacer only. I had VR602s on that truck (17x9 +12 with 315/70/17 BFGs), and that truck would not hold an alignment! Is that common? I did have the installer use the cam bolt kit as recommended, but the inability to hold alignment was obviously problematic. Was this due to wheel width and offset, the leveling kit, or was this just some random aberration? I appreciate any input and advice. For reference, here's the '21 Tremor...

There is nothing wrong with a spacer for mild off roading. My First Gen Raptor would never keep its alignment even with the cam kit. But that was after a Raptor Run or heavy off road abuse and jumping. Like your neck and back hurt at the end of the day stuff. But other than that I would think its a problem with your alignment shop or worn component. Tremors are new, even with -44’sx14’s it take a year or so to kill the front end, +12’s should bother it to much. But the Covid hangover is real.
