Level Question
Sorry if this has already been covered. So my situation is that my truck just fits in my garage (approximately 3 inches to spare). I would like to put a 2" level on it, but would like to retain the existing clearance due to snow, etc. My question is that since the highest point on the truck is back of cab (about center of truck), how much would a front level vary this point on the truck height wise? Will it just level out the remaining part of cab (towards the front) and not alter the height of the rear end of cab where it is the highest point on truck now? Thanks

2" is 2" and it is the max at any point. The back of your cab will rise less than that because the rear is not raised at all.
If you want to be absolutely certain and see if for yourself go get a 4x2 and drive onto it with the front tires.
Measure the cab before and after. You'll see that the cab only raised a bit and not as much as the front hood.

Bottom line is if you have 3" to spare you will be fine.
I had these exact same concerns. As mentioned at the back of the cab, your highest point, will rise less than 2"
The only thing that could throw you off is if you put on a taller tire.
And,
don't over inflate your tires as this can add additional height as well.
I think.... that pretty well covers it.

Lol but 3" is a very very tight margin. Not much room for error. Means no bigger tires. And you better watch it if there's a little bump or if your garage floor is on a higher plane than the driveway. If you enter the garage a bit too fast you don't know how much the truck will bounce.
Man... that's a tight fit lol
