Leveling Kit Math Check

Hey everyone...new to TW but have been reading endless posts on leveling and lift kits, if I missed one covering my question, my apologies.

I've got a broken Driver side leaf spring on my 07 Base 4x4 but was planning on leveling the truck anyway so i figured I might as well do both at the same time. I measured the hub to fender distance and it's about a 2" difference on both sides. Is the following math correct:

Standard leaf springs (0" rear lift) would require a 2" Front lift. (could do spacers)

Heavy duty leaf springs (2" rear lift) would require a 4" front lift?? (would require basically new everything up front)

Thanks for your help

 

Replace the springs first then go from there. Every truck is different and your math will be off anyways because you are not taking in account the wear/tear and sag of your current springs vs. new replacement.

 

that makes a lot of sense...thanks for the advice and the quick response

 

For the front you should stay à 2.5 in. maybe 3 in. of lift but no more than that just to avoid future problems with your CV joints.
