It'll look better, and the better struts will give a better ride. Especially compared to your worn out tired struts.

So it ends up my back is about 2 inches higher than the front! I guess I never really noticed. So if I got the Ranchos it would be level.
So what do you get with it being level? Just better look? Better ride? Better performance?
My local mechanic said he would charge me $140 to install these if I brought the parts. Seems cheap enough. I am pretty handy, as I have done the rear and other things, but this seems pretty complicated.

Trucks come with 2 to 2.5” of rake from the factory. This is so when you tow or haul, you’re not squatting. Definitely something to keep in mind if you level. The rear end will sag lower than the front if you load it down.
