Does Your leveling kit actually level it. Look at mine

Hey Guys,
My kit was done a few weeks ago and it seems the back still sits higher that the front. It seems it could be a inch higher to match the rear. Its a daystar kit. What do you guys think? Anyone get the same results with daystar or others?

Take a look...........any info will help.

Cant tell much from the pic but you can go and measure the distance between the top of the tire and thewheel opening to give us the difference between the front and rear. I installed the Daystar kit on my truck and it sits almost level, the front is 1/4" lower than the rear. Was both pieces of the kit installed or just the larger spacer? The thinner piece that goes on top of the coil spring raises the truck 3/4" which could be the difference you are seeing. Just a thought.

Looks pretty close to me. By the way, nice Screw! Great choice on the wheels and tires.

Looks right to me. I don't think the kits are supposed to make the truck perfectly level. A slight pitch to the front is correct.

I measured it

The front distance from tire to fender is 7 5/8" the rear is 8 1/8"+
a bit more than 1/2" from front to rear.

Is this what you guys have???


Thank you
