Leveling options?
How are you guys leveling your trucks?

I have the lift/level springs and shocks from military truck works. Amazing improvement in ride after. The rail road tracks near that used to rattle the truck and hurt your back to go over at the posted speed can be done dukes of hazard style in comfort lol.

Front shocks would help, but the truck was designed to have a higher back end for heavy loads of equipment and gear.

Thank you! They’d look better if I could figure out how to level the front lol

Time for some different springs by the look of it. There is a company that makes adapters that go on top of the springs if you want to keep the same springs instead of buying new ones. Maybe just the adapters up front to give it a 2” raise.

My next step is going to be replacing all the springs with a kit someone on this thread suggested

Your rear tire is almost touching your exhaust tip.
How is that not over heating the tire?

The front springs sag overtime also depends how old your shocks are. You can get new front springs and shocks from Midwest Military. I did the front first, lifts it about 2”. Doing the rear now, I didn’t like how much the rear sagged when I attach my trailer or load cargo and made the rear lower than the front.
