Default Should i return 2.5" level??

I ordered a 2.5" motofab level off ebay. I want to get in installed but I also do not want my truck to sit nose high. Should I return it and get a 2" or should the 2.5 be what Im looking for?

i measured heights a little while ago. If i remember correctly, the front (ground to wheel well) was just over 37" and the back was just over 38". ~1-1.5" difference. Would the 2" level be better?

Return it. I have a 2" auto spring that I installed on my 07 FX4. It's great until I put a bag of groceries or two into the bed (exaggeration but not by much) at which point it sits slightly nose high. I am keeping the level but am adding air bags for the frequent towing and slightly heavy loads. If you don't want to do anything to the back end, don't level and especially not by that much.

Can't really compare two different trucks.

Measure YOUR truck and see what the difference is. Keep in mind mileage sag, if you have new springs on one end. Most people get the 2 or 2.5 to level a 4wd.

i just put the exact kit you are talking about (2.5" motofab) on my 08 4x4 and it really isnt exactly level so if you still want about 1/4 lower in the front to compensate for loads you'll be fine

My truck is 2wd

there is about a 1-1.5" difference between the front and back (seems less than most trucks i hear about on here, maybe ill remeasure tomorrow).

I think i'll go ahead and return the 2.5" and get the 2" instead. If the 2" makes it sit nose high i'll deal with it.

Like someone else said, impossible to say for each and every truck. I'm running a 2.5 on my 06 2WD and it's damn near level. I don't tow hardly anything so no issues there

I have a 2" kit and my 04 4x4 still sits slightly nose down. My buddy who was an 06 4x4 with the exact same kit sits perfectly level. I really think its a truck to truck deal.



Quick Reply: Should i return 2.5" level??
