Im new on here and I have noticed that there are literally thousands of posts about leveling kits and tire sizes. I recently installed a 2" kit on my 05 SuperCrew and was wondering if the front end needs alignment checked? I heard some say yes and others no. Secondly, do alot of you guys that are running say 285/75/18s see any difference in gas mileage? Lastly, has anyone ever heard of leveling kit less than 2" ? Reason I ask is I would like to keep my truck looking mostly factory with the exception of leveling and maybe 285s, I just think the leveling kit made the truck look too high in the front. Any help?

 

yes you need an alignment. anytime you modify your suspension, you need an alignment.

 

they do make a leveling kit smaller then 2 inch. I believee that make a 1.5 inch one.

 

I want to keep the stock tires and rims but want to level my truck. Instead of raising the front 2 inches which tends to make the truck look like it has too much wheel well for the stock tires, I'm going to lower the rear end 2 inches to level the truck.

 

When it's time to replace your tires buy a slightly larger set to take up the gap in the front wheel well.

Other than that I think your truck looks nice as is!

 

Thanks guys
