    Anyone ever do a leveling kit in their 2wd. I have a 96 and hate the way it slopes so thought I’d ask. Pictures and kits anyone? And does it still handle well? Thanks

    spacers might help if you're just wanting to level out the front.

    I was thinking of putting airbags in the rear for my dads 98 since he likes to load it up back there.

    Yes just want to level the front...

    Airbags? I like to use mine for dump runs and hauling stuff but can’t put much weight back there.

    My dads mindset is this, a truck should be able to handle any load. UUUH NOOOO.

    Yeah, if you haul stuff fairly routinely, airbags are the way to go. They're relatively inexpensive, a few hundred bucks, but you also would likely need a compressor/air tank setup. You could potentially use shop air to make adjustments, but that's not really ideal...

    You could do stiffer springs or an add-a-leaf, but those aren't great because it would lift the rear end and/or make the ride real stiff when you're not hauling anything.

    So I just need spacers for the front?
