Leveling Kits for Enhanced Vehicle Performance & Style

Leveling Kits for Enhanced Vehicle Performance & Style

Leveling kits raise the front of a truck or SUV to match the height of the rear, eliminating the factory rake that most manufacturers build in for payload compensation. Beyond the cleaner stance, a leveled vehicle gains additional front tire clearance for larger wheel and tire upgrades without a full suspension lift.

Popular Upgrades

Best-selling leveling kit options include aluminum billet spacer leveling kits for Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, and RAM 1500, strut extension leveling kits for independent front suspension trucks that avoid disturbing the factory strut, and leveling kit and shock combos that replace the factory strut unit with a longer shock and spacer for proper spring travel and ride quality.

Will a leveling kit affect my truck's ride quality?

A properly installed spacer leveling kit adds minimal weight and does not dramatically change spring rate, so most drivers find ride quality is maintained or slightly improved due to the more level attitude. However, leveling kits place the front strut at a different operating angle, which can accelerate strut wear on some platforms unless a longer replacement shock is used to compensate for the additional lift height.

Do I need an alignment after installing a leveling kit?

Yes. Any suspension height change, including a leveling kit, changes camber and caster angles that require realignment. A professional four-wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installation. Some lifted applications may also require an alignment cam kit or upper control arm upgrade to bring alignment angles back within factory specification.
