Default Level kit

Okay I bought the truck used and they told me it has a level kit but I don't know of its 2inch or 2.5 from a side view I feel like the back of the truck is higher anyone have an opinions if I should just go buy 2.5 level kit?

The original owner may have installed a leveling kit in the front and then an AAL or taller block in the rear. Either way it doesn't look level to me man.

If the previous owner did what I just said, buying another leveling kit won't help unless of course it is taller than than one that is supposedly already installed.

After taking another look the truck doesn't look level but it also seems to have a rake which is less than factory. I often battle back and forth whether or not mine looks level. Nice looking truck either way.

Nice looking truck, easiest way to tell is to take off a front tire and see if there's a level bolted on top of your strut assembly.

With some trucks, like my Thunder, you wouldn't even have to take off the tire (I'm a small person, and can get myself just about anywhere in my truck, haha)

HBS is a popular leveling kit that most people seem to like. I would have your shocks checked out. If they're still the stock ones there's a good chance they're shot depending on how many miles you have on your truck. I just ordered a set of quicklift rancho shocks that have a 2.5" lift built into the front strut.

Do you rub? Why do you want larger? If greater than a 2 inch level it only adds stress to your front end components. Truck looks great. You may have to realign with larger level.
