Good Candidate for Leveling...?
Took a couple pics this morning before the truck goes in the shop for a leveling kit installation.
I've looked at just about every thread here with pics of trucks before and after leveling, but mine seems to have the most factory rake I have seen.
Maybe my short wheelbase makes it look worse than others...?
I'll post some "after" photos on Friday when I get it back.

Yeah it's probably the shorter wheelbase that makes it look worse. Leveling certainly will help.

I've got a 2 1/2" old style Daystar kit that's been on over 3 years. Needed 2 1/2 to level with the rear and give more clearance in the front for 35's.

Well, it's done.
I'm pretty happy the way it turned out.
This is an AS 2" kit - made me so glad I didn't go 2.5.
I honestly thought I would still have just a little rake with the 2", but it measures dead level........

It's 4WD - sure looked like a 2WD stock - main reason I leveled it.
Used a 2" Auto Spring leveling kit.
Install with alignment at my local mechanic was $180
A little high, but my only choice for someone I trusted to do this for me.
