Other than appearance/personal preference, are there performance reasons for a level? What is the preferred level 2” or 2/12”?

Forgive the newbie questions.

 

Yea, there are performance reasons. If you want worse performance, level the truck.

 

You install a leveling kit if you want more height or a leveled truck. Many folks recommend 2” or less to avoid undesirable CV angles.

 

I went with upgraded suspension an the result was a leveling, so yes performance can improve a LOT!
My first suspension mod was an Icon Stage 1 coilover front and rear shocks. On my 2wd adjusted to min lift it raised front 1 3/4 inch rear 0.
Never lost ant MPG or 0-80 acceleration (timed not seat of pants feeling), plus tremendous improvement in road/trail handling over OEM. KM

 

If you're just doing a spacer on the stock strut assembly then no, there are no performance gains.

 

Thanks much for the input gentlemen.
