leveling kit??

[bert296]

hey guys anyone ever try one of these 2 inch leveling kits? im debating either 2 inch leveling kit or 2 inch body lift i would think that the leveling kit without lowering the axle with it would make it have some serious camber issues and i dont want to wear out my brand new 33s thanks for any input

does the rear need to go up or down?...in my head it comes down to money and time....

well with a leveling kit the rear would stay the same body lift it all would go up both options are pretty cheap compaired to a suspention kit

Leveling kit and body lift have entirely different purposes. leveling kit, levels the front with the rear. body lift lifts the body only up higher off the frame. how much lift do you have now?

If you do a body lift the body would raise up off the frame like this picture. (you've probably seen trucks with the frame way under the truck and the ugly gap between the bed and frame if they dont use gap guards)

a leveling kit raises the front end up higher while keeping the rear in the same place, theoretically leveling the front with the rear. You will have to get an alignment with a leveling kit.

I personally hate body lifts for that reason, they look ugly, and you have to cut up or remove your bumpers if you wanna use your tow hooks.

I agree about the body kits. I don't like the gaps either. With my truck, I started out with a leveling kit but I didn't like how it looked. I ended up putting on Explorer leaf springs to lift the rear roughly two inches.
