Okay I am just an old dummy but what is a leveling kit, why do so many put them on, are they just for looks or do they have any use and how do they affect the ride.

 

search bar, enter "leveling kit"

 

The factery makes the truck with a slight nose down stance to to improve aerodynamics and MPG by causing more air to go over the truck not under it a leveling kit raises the front of the truck up so it sits more level only benifit is a little more. ground clearance and some prefer the look.

^ what he said.

 

And more tire clearance for the front...

 

I think the look is better with a leveling kit how much to get one installed?

 

install it yourself, take about 2 hrs tops if you've never done it

 

What do you have if you have torsion bars you can just crank them up some for free

 

Thanks, don't look like anything I would want or need.

 

I think it is also because a pickup truck was designed to haul heavy things in the bed and the rear up stance allows for a better angle when loaded. If you level the truck and load up the rear, your nose will be pointed at the sky.
