Default 2" lift

Is a 2" lift going to be noticeable to people? I just feel like that isn't much at all.

I have a 2.5" front end level and it made the truck look way better.

That might be all that you need to level the truck. All you can do is measure and find out but if not get a 2.5" leveling kit.

Leveled trucks look dumb, especially so when you tow or haul cause the nose points at the sky and your headlights blind other drivers. If you want a lift go at least 4", if you're trying to put bigger tires on cheaply go with a level on the front and add a block in the back to raise the rear the same.

If u plan on not towing then add the lift, but Sultan is right about the rear end, if you only do 2in on front then if you tow it drags the rear down and makes your truck nose high. I hooked my boat up and it was totally level on stock look. It barely lowered the rear but it still road and looked level.

Add-a-leaf. I prefer level ride and heck the F150 you see in the above banner is level! There is only one problem. Many that lift or level their trucks almost always forget to readjust their headlights thus blinding car drivers. Adjust them damn things!!

My FX4 has exactly a 2" rake and am debating on 6" lift or leveling kit since both basically allows for the same tire size.
