    0AFDF3FF-8F4F-442A-8D5A-B9942F94D938.jpg I have quite a bit of rake and I don’t haul anything crazy this is just a daily driver, I was just wondering if it’s better for a level or lift? Kind of on a tight budget for the truck right now but the front end sags and it drives me crazy.

    Neither is "better", it's purely your preference.

    Lift the front, lower the back, or leave it as it is. :anonymous:

    If you're indifferent, perhaps just whatever works with your budget best

    Level seems to run into less issues, if its just the front end sagging, it may give you a look you like and be more budget friendly

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    When did this getting the Truck level become a thing people wanted??

    When your vehicle is not a truck but a sedan with a open trunk??

    Every Truck I ever owned the Front always sat lower then the rear with the bed empty .

    I am just curious ? I really do not understand the concept Because when my Trucks got used the bed always had a few hundred pounds or much more weight.

    Having it be a daily/off-roader I want the front higher off the ground for looks and functionality. Plus I’m 6” 3’ and want a bit of a taller truck

    Now that is a better reason I can understand for lifting the front end.
