Why level a truck
Most trucks leave the factory sitting lower in front than in back, so they carry weight in the bed without looking nose-high. A leveling kit takes out that rake, gives the truck an even stance, and makes room up front for a larger tire.
Leveling kit or mid travel kit?
A leveling kit is the lower-cost way to get the height. Spacer-only kits keep the factory arms and shocks, so the front can lose some down travel and ride a little firmer. If ride quality matters as much as the stance, a mid travel kit replaces the upper arms and all four shocks so the truck keeps its travel.
Before you order
- Check the years and drive. Parts are specific to model years and often to 2WD or 4WD. Both are in the product title.
- Plan an alignment. Raising the front changes the alignment, so have it checked after install.
