What is a leveling kit?

If you own a truck, you’ve probably noticed that the rear of the truck sits higher than the front. As a truck is built to haul heavy loads in the bed, the additional height in the rear is intentional so the truck doesn’t sag when extra weight is added. However, when you’re not hauling something, it might not be the most visually appealing. One easy way that you can fix this is with a leveling kit. A leveling kit allows you to raise the front of the truck a few inches to match with the back. 
While this is mainly for looks, it can give you a little bit of added ground clearance. Most leveling kits will only provide an inch or two of lift. Depending on the leveling kit, you may be able to install a slightly larger tire as well. Leveling kits are easier to install than a full-on suspension lift kit, with most featuring bolt-on installation. Depending on the leveling kit, strut disassembly may be required for installation. Leveling kits can include several components such as spacers, strut extensions, shocks, and lift blocks. Most leveling kits will help you maintain the factory ride quality while leveling out your rig, all for an affordable price. For less than a few hundred dollars, you can level out your ride and give your truck or Jeep a better-looking stance at the same time.

How do I determine which kit I need to level my vehicle?

The ride height of each vehicle varies due to the condition and trim model of the vehicle. The most optimal way to determine which kit you require to level your truck is to park your vehicle on a level ground and take a tape-measure to measure the distance from the ground to the top center of the fender arch. Take the measurements for both the rear and front and then subtract the two numbers. This is about the amount you will need in order to perfectly level your vehicle.

Here's the proper way to measure your vehicle's ride height before attempting any leveling lift kit install.

Before lifting your vehicle with leveling kit, it’s important to begin by properly measuring its ride height. By doing so, you’ll be able to see and document the amount of actual lift you’ve attained. Then you can take that information and determine the correct size and diameter of wheel you can use with the vehicle’s new ride height. Here’s the proper way to measure:

1) Select a clean, dry and level surface to take the vehicle’s ride height measurements
2) Drive the vehicle forward at least 10-feet onto the level surface to settle the suspension. 
3) Park the vehicle and wedge or block to secure the tires so that the vehicle will not roll forward or back.
4) Take a measuring tape and measure the ride height from the center of the axle or hug, straight up (vertical) to the bottom of the fender lip. 
5) Repeat the process for all four sides and record the measurements. 

Once this is done, you’ve recorded the proper ride height measurement of your truck, SUV or Jeep. After you’re lift has been installed, take these measurements again and see the total amount of actual ride height you’ve gained.
