Sorry i meant better stopping time and control

 

Refer to my earlier post. There is nothing unsafe about a leveling kit.

To the OP, yes, wider tires will make your truck more stable on the road. Your little one will be safe in your leveled truck.

And re-aim your headlights after leveling or lifting.

 

Ok great thanks for all the help guys

 

Only downside to level is that it causes more wear on your front end parts and looks very silly if you haul or tow anything because the front will be higher than the rear.

 

It depends. I know 3 inch will cause parts to wear quick but a mild level like 2" isn't bad. I did 1 inch just to be safe.

 

Here's my truck. 2" level in front, 0" in rear, no air bags. In this pic I'm towing a tractor that is as heavy as an older single cab truck, on a heavy trailer that's stout enough to haul F-350's without being overloaded. No weight distribution hitch either. Pulled it just fine, no sway, or feeling noise high driving. Sure it does squat a bit, but not as much as you would think. I had my '54 F-100 on there earlier that day, my truck sat the same with that on the trailer too. Who says you can't tow after a level kit?

Doesn't look silly to me...

What do you think?

 

You're over analyzing just a bit lol. Handling did get better for me after a level. It firmed up the suspension slightly and made the steering more responsive. Before the level it felt squishy, now it feels firmly planted to the ground. Braking is exactly the same.

 

Looks like the front is higher than the rear, lol! Not too bad though, you got the tractor in the right spot on the trailer, congrats. I've seen leveled trucks with ATVs in the back, rear really sags lower than the front then, more weight you add the more it will sag, its simple. You can't add 500 pounds and not have it sag a little, that's why the factory rake is there so when you add weight to the back the front tires can maintain safe steerability.

 

Yeah, the front is a touch higher. Just wanted to show that you can still tow. My old '95 F-150 looked the same towing this trailer, front high just a bit and it had the factory rake.

 

I never said you couldn't tow, I just said it would look sillier than a non leveled truck
