It's all about the loom your wanting. If u want it higher with a better view and look down on small cars and trucks, or want to just slide in and out like your driving a camry. To each is own. I love them both if done right.

I leveled my 2WD 2.25" in the front and love it. Nothing drastic but the look is greatly improved in my opinion!

What are you looking to do? If you're looking for an overgrown car, lower the rear. If you want to fit bigger tires or have any offroad capability, lift the front.

Lower the rear. Can do it in your driveway and won’t need to install bigger tires.

Since you don't have blocks in the rear to remove like on a 4x4. You will either need to raise the front or add drop shackles to the rear.

I don't do any offroading, mainly looking for a a more aggressive look and tires that will fill the wheel wells.
