    I need your help picking a Leveling Kit hight. I've had the rear TBS done already so nothing will change on the rear end.

    Right now my front end sits at 34.25" from ground to fender.
    Rear ends sits at 37.5" from ground to fender.

    I don't do that much hauling and if I do it's never more then a few hundred pounds over a short distance.

    Please let me know what you think I should do and why.

    Thanks,

    Skip the leveling kit and get a real lift for the front.
    Spacer lifts cause problems including wear & tear or breakage.

    Thank you for that advice but I'm looking for advice on what hight I should go with and why.

    I wish I had the cash to do it that way but I don't.

    Thanks

    Well I lifted my front 3" and castor is not in specs with stock UCAs but it drives fine.
    With 2.5" you could probably keep castor in specs.

    X2. If you go a full 3", you wont be able to get your alignment back to factory specs without aftermarket UCA's.
