Another Level question. Geometry Class5
I understand leveling your truck makes changes the geometry and makes things wear faster.
My questions is If I level the front with 1.5 in bilstein's 5100 and add a 1.5 block or another leaf to the rear will the geometry stay the same or be less effecting to the truck's component's??

If your not doing much hardcore offroading things aren't going to wear much faster than they would without a 1.5" leveling kit. My old 06 has been leveled for 84k miles and hasn't worn out any balljoints or CVs yet. It's my buddy's truck now. I put 27k miles on my leveled 2011 with no issues and my 2014 has been leveled for 13k miles.

Yep, leveled at 2.25" for a couple years now and no issues. It seems that people at 3" seem to wear out stuff a bit faster but it seems there are many, many people with level level kits that have no problems.
