Hello
I’m looking for a leveling kit that will fit my 2011 4cyl 2wd ranger. The truck is completely stock but I am putting bigger tires on them soon and I feel a leveling kit would help with the front so it doesn’t rub. Thank you for your time.

I've never heard it called that, but that doesn't mean anything. It might also be known asa lift kit? You can put 31" tires on the stock rims without worry. Any taller and you'll need to lift it. There was a discussion n this forum, something along the lines of 'how tall can you go'. It's been many moons and has seems to been buried. I know it was in this forum. Maybe someone will come along that's more recently seen it. You could try hunting for it witha search. This one mentions it but it's not the post I referredn to: Rims/tires suggestions | The Ranger Station

Also consider adjustable shims for the front suspension. It makes front-end alignments a breeze and allows you to adjust the camber without the 'fixed' shims fromt the factory (https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/index.php?threads/camber-eccentric-s.24/). If you go with a lift kit, make sure you consider the rest (e.g. tie rod length, etc.)

My credo
the grey-t escape
I think they make a lift spindle that would give you some front height increase, smallest I think is 2” which might be about the difference between front/rear wheelwell opening heights.
EDIT- 3”, from the quick lookup I just did:

My credo
Crossed threads are tight threads.
I have the skyjacker leveling kit, pretty sure they make one for a 2wd....its just springs and shocks.
