Personally, I like the look of leveled trucks.

Air Lift air springs are your answer if you want to level but still tow and haul. Here's mine with a 2.5 inch level with 1300lbs of bark mulch in the bed.


AAL's will work also, but you don't have as much control. I put 70lbs in for this load, but I tow my boat with 35-40lbs.

To me the actual leveling isn't that noticeable. The main purpose of the level is to get the bigger tires which are noticeable. When it's time to replace my tires, I'm leaning toward a level in the front, but I'm going to add blocks in the back to maintain a similar stance as stock.

A slight rake is nice, but stock is too much.

I plan to get a set of 305/55 20 Terra Grapplers when my Perellis are done. I want to do a 2" front kit for better clearance, and hope the back still sits a little higher than the front. Can always add larger rear blocks later if needed.

I like both ways, I have my truck leveled, But I also have air bags in the back, I tow a trailer every day! So one day I leave it level or if I'm in the mood I add a little rake to it!

I like the stock rake look better but I gotta admit some of those leveled trucks look good too. Leveling will also lower your fuel economy.

My 06 screw has a 6 inch Rough Country lift..,however the back end is probably 2 inches lower than the front. Love the lift...but it looks like I'm driving uphill all day. I have 37s Kumhos w/ 22 inch rims and clearance is fine. I ordered an add-a-leaf from RC to jack the back up another 1.5 to 2.0 inches to try to get level or a slight rake. Anyone have a better idea?
