    I'm looking to level the front end of my truck. Currently the front and rear, center hub to bottom of hub measure at 22". If I get a 2" level kit for the front, will that make it obvious that my front is higher than the rear? Thanks

    The 3rd gens sag in the rear and leveling it always shows, and if you put more than 50lbs you'll be headlight high, its why most recommend keeping 1" of rake, so 2" front 1" rear or 1" front only.

    You're already level. Haul anything in the bed, you will be squatted. Add anything to the front suspension, you will be squatted.

    Squat is very obvious. Both headlight aim was noted, as well as visually. I'd say 0.25in to 0.50in squat is pretty noticeable.


    I did my suspension in stages as the parts arrived at different times. 3.0in of rake with the new leafs looked pretty silly. Getting it to 1.5in with the new coilovers looked right, to me.

    2” front Bilstein 5100 and 1” block in the rear. Cheap. Easy to do. (And yes. A small rear block is OK and won’t harm anything you’ll ever do with that truck).

    Do you do truck stuff like haul or tow?

    Lifting the nose will make that worse.
