Default Leveling Kit

My truck has a fair amount of rake that I would like to get rid of by bumping up the front end. It's a 2004 SCrew, short bed lariat 4x4. What kit should I got with to not speed up wear on the front end.

being your truck is a 04 I would guess it has over 60k mile on the original struts.
I would suggest Rancho quicklifts

I had almost 198,000 on mine before i finally replaced them haha. I would say if your going to spend the money on a leveling kit you might as well go all out and do it right with the Rancho Quicklift struts and matching shocks in the rear.

I have Rancho Quicklift struts in the front of my truck and have the matching shocks in the rear and they are amazing. The adjustability is awesome i love being able to change how it rides and how high it sits.

I just did a 2" level for mine. Seems to sit fairly even to me. If you're that **** about getting rid of your rake then measure the height of your fenders from the ground and find out what you need.
