    can't seem to find the answer to this, but if a leveling kit is 2 inches in the front and i switch to a suspension lift, if i want 3 inches of lift throughout, does that mean 5 in the front and 3 in the back, then with added bush bumpers, gear, etc does it need to be bumped up another inch on each end?

    Cheers.

    Not sure where or what headstrong is. Does 3=3 mean with a lift kit 3 on each end will make it level?

    If you want it level you’d do 3” front and 2” rear. You will have to account for the added weight in the front.
