Default 3 inch level

My truck isn't sitting high enough. I have a 2 inch level according to the store. It looks to be actually maybe a 1. I had a store put it on my junior year, but I'm old enough now that i can do it myself and buy it online. You guys know where i can get a good cheap one?? Kinda looking for that nose high look

Thanks guys!

i looked at the hellbent steel I'm thinking the billet aluminum blocks instead of the steel looks more sturdy because its solid but steel is tougher. any opinions??

Get a Rough Country 2.5 inch level.

We've measured ourselves and they are now perfectly level.

If you want that backwards rake you're going to have to get a 3" level. However you're going to put way too much stress on your ball joints and steering linkage.

Honestly it's not worth it.
