I was wondering what would be a cheap, easy way to level off and even lift my front end a bit. Right now it is sitting about an inch or more lower than the back. I would like to get a bit more travel but I realize that can be pretty costly. Are there any cheaper methods to lift my front end and get good performance?
 
cheap and performance, thats like asking if gold by the inch will turn your skin green...lol

stx highrider brackets and levling coils,give you a tad bit more bump travel ,proably get you in the 8-9 inches of travel vs the stock 6 and make your truck set pretty close to level.and still have full range of alignment adjustment

excuse my spelling, its late and I cant freakign sleep!!!
 
I'm having trouble finding that stuff. I know it's a lot to ask getting performance for cheap. I'm not real picky or anything I'm just having a hard time finding stuff for my 4x4 because it seems like the only things companies make are sky high lifts and I don't really like high lifts. I just wanna level out the front end for a more aggressive appearance and for more front end clearance for tires. Performance would be a bonus but as long as it doesn't decrease then I'm happy. The STX highrider brackets and coils sound like what I'm looking for though.
 
i put washer under my coils for 1.5 inches of lift(free), which added 1.5 inches of up travel. I out a extender on the top of my shock(couple bucks or free if u weld) to extend it down so the tires got that 1,5 inches of down travel back. I never bottom the shocks out, it hits the factory bumpstop befor that happens.
If u want u can get a 4 inch shock, but then u have to modify the mount on the rad arm for more up travel so the shock doesnt bottom.
 
Yea that will give u lift, i made the mistake of using snowplow springs before i made spacers and it rode bad. If anyone else had experience wiht those springs and liked them then go 4 it.
 
you have a lot of options to go for leveling the front. a few companies offer coil springs (i used skyjacker and really like them) or you could use day-star spacers(i hear they split though)also like tanbuddy said theres always washers that you could put under the springs. The biggest limiter in flex and travel is probably your shocks after you get new springs, so go for some extended shocks too.
