Default Leveling kit?
I have been looking to get my truck up a little so I can get some bigger rims/tires in there. I have a 2wd so im not looking for anything extreme. About 3"-4" is all I would need. I have been looking around and have found a few leveling kits that lift it 3". How does that effect the ride of the truck?

Thank you in advance for any and all help

Markus

it will not change a thing

Don't go with a 3" spacer, a 2.5" spacer should be the MAX

Why 2.5 vice a 3? Also would a spindle lift be better?

The 3" kit creates even worse cv angles, which will cause them to wear out quickly

2wd trucks dont have constant velocity axles.

What about ball joints? Or are they related.

most likely, but balljoints and CV joints are NOT the same thing.
