Default 4in leveling kit

Hey guys,
Does anyone make a 4in plus, leveling kit? I want the front of my truck to be higher. Does anyone make a 4 inch kit? Also can someone please explain a body lift?

You should really use the search option on the forum, your questions have been taked about a lot. But no there is not a 4" leveling kit 3" is the biggest most people on this forum either get a 2" or 2.5" level depending on what they needed. Measure the gap in the wheel well front and back and the difference from the front and back is the level kit you will need to make it level most likely would need a 2.5" kit. And before you ask what brand most people on here seem to go with a Autospring kit look it up on eBay. A body lift is basically just raising your body of the frame using these plastic blocks it just allows for clearance of bigger tires. Some people like them and some people will tell you save your money and get a real lift. I personally think if your just going for looks and what to clear some bigger tires then a body lift is fine but if you plan on doing a lot of off-roading you should get a suspension lift.
Hope this helps you out.

I have a 3.5" level on my 05, but I'm taking it off and doing a 6" lift! Wouldn't recommend anything over a 2.5" leveling kit, tho! The angles get pretty extreme

Ya, it's pretty crazy, but believe it or not I didn't have to do any prying to get it on, it went on really well

Good luck with that link... anything over 2.5-3 inches would not be a leveling kit...

changing out ball joints control arms and tie rod ends are always fun to do every other oil change as well.
