Leveling Kit Before and After

What is a Leveling Kit for a Truck?

You may have noticed that the front of your truck sits a bit lower than the rear. If you’re looking to raise the nose of your truck by an inch or two, we recommend looking into a leveling kit. A leveling kit is a specific type of suspension lift kit that is designed to improve the overall stance of your truck by lifting only the front, while still maintaining ride quality. If you plan on using your truck primarily on-road, a leveling kit will allow you to install larger wheels and tires while maintaining most of your truck’s OEM handling characteristics.

How do Leveling Kits Work?

Unlike a lift kit, a leveling kit only raises the front of your vehicle in order to “level” out any imbalance between the front and the rear. Most trucks have a factory “rake” meaning that the front sits a bit lower than the rear, accommodating any equipment that may be added to the bed. These kits provide a slight difference in the stance of your truck, allowing it to sit a bit taller on the road.
