Leveling kit

So the spacers are in the mail!!! Bout damn time. But now it is time to cure this low back end. Eventually it will evolve i to a suspension lift but for now I am thinking a leveling kit. Talk to me y'all im new to lifting or doing suspension work. Best parts, Companies, im open to all information.

 

Call @YotaDan at wheelers or Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and explain what you got going on. They have great customer service and competitive pricing along with the knowledge to get you set-up for your truck goals.

 

Leveling kit typically only involves the front, bringing it up level with the rear. If you already have spacers coming for the front I'd just buy a cheap add a leaf for the rear. You could also do blocks in the rear for less $ but I prefer add a leaf. I'm clearing 33"x10.50"s no problem with spacers and add a leafs

 

Just to be contrarian...........

Leveling is a looks only thing, at the expense of function that the rake is engineered for. So parking lot queen or actual truck is q.1.

Whatever your end goal is, save up and do it once, do it right. It's not really like 'staging' parts can be reused in most cases. Temporary work is usually throw away work / parts. So in the end the $ is higher.

Since you are 'new' to this, you need experienced hands to coach you (live, not on the internet) for the actual installation part. There are a few things during the install (while not overly hard) that are helpful to have a successful outcome. For example, having a torque wrench, knowing how to use it, and knowing that motion points in the suspension should be torqued in compression, not droop.

It's been suggested above by @FirstGen Jer who to call for counsel on your specific goals and budget. Suspect it will cost a lot more than you expect, but don't let that put you off. Get off the instant gratification path and save up for the right gear to meet your target.

 

The previous owner of my truck with the leveling spacer and block route, which is why one of the first things I'm doing is getting coils, 5100s, UCAs and either AAL or full leaf pack. The truck will ride better and endure less stress on the other suspension components.

 

AAL makes for a vary harsh ride. A full leaf pack would be the way to go.

 

Good to know, now I have to convince the wife that I need it.
