    Don't know if it's just me but my truck isn't seeming level after getting a leveling kit. Had a local place do it on a recommendation but have my doubts based on a few things..... Is this possible and if so, is it common? Do I need to add an add a leaf? Hard to tell but maybe only slightly higher

    I had the same problem when I put 5100's in the front of my truck. It ended up just a tad higher in the front. Luckily, I already had RideRites in the rear. 2lbs more air in the back, and it was sitting level.

    Just measure the pinch weld at the front of the cab, and then at the back. Then, you'll know for sure.

    I dont know much about leveling kits. But im assuming if its a polyurethane spacer like ive seen on jeeps maybe after it breaks in from the front end weight it'll level out. Or maybe you have a 4cylinder instead of the 6 so your missing some weight. It could be that you dont have the tow package so your missing the 1/2" thick overload spring which would lift the rear a 1/2

    He has a base regular cab, so no tow package.
    He definitely has a 4 cylinder.
