Default To level or not to level

A lot of guys get leveling kits put on. I think the forward lean makes it look more aggressive, like it's about to pounce. Any good reason why I should level it? And am I the only one who feels that way about the lean?

Because I plan to tow stuff, I'm leaving it with the factory rake, so the springs in the back have more travel.

This is more of a "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing than anything else.

Had my '04 F-150 leveled and loved the way it looked vs stock rake. I plan to get my new truck leveled soon. Just a personal preference thing!

I wonder if those tires would rub or not.

I have the same thought, I like the down look on my 4X4 but I have decided to ask myself a new question

To Level or to Lift...Wow so many choices; what is the right answer

I've been debating back and forth on this for my entire 13.75 months of ownership. I've officially decided as of last week that I will be getting a 4" Rancho lift as soon as my stock Pirellis die. Good luck in your decision. Hopefully you won't take as long to decide as me lol

Before and after leveling my '04 Lariat, the stock rake looked goofy to me!

Level looks so much better than stock. Hopefully this summer I can level and maybe AAL
