Level it?
 
I'm debating wether to level my truck or not..
I've got the leveling kit but no money for bigger tires..
I really hate the factory rake and would love the look of a leveled truck but i'm not sure if the stock 32" tires would look too rediculous.
I probably won't have money for new tires for about 6 months and that's only if I find a good paying job soon...
so what do ya think...level it or just leave it alone til I can afford new tires.

your truck came stock with 32 inch tires? I'd say level it anyways, still looks better then stock

yup..good year wrangler at/s...

I think i'm gonna level it because when I do put new tires i'll probably also get new wheels so the tires will most likely be 33" and I dont see that 1" is gonna make a huge difference..

do it. I've been running that setup for well over 10,000 miles now. It can always look better with bigger tires, but still looks pretty good IMO

Level it. It wont look bad. Hell my 30"s wont look bad leveled. As long as the front end isn't hanging down any.

Do it! I leveled mine as well before I could buy tires

Save up and then buy later. Here's my current truck

thanks guys!

my dad and brother seem to think they can't do this at home with a floor jack...they think i have to take it to a shop...what is everyone's thoughts on this?

when i bought the leveling kit i had the money for new wheels and tires but I didnt have the time to have any of it installed cause i was working so much so i put it off..now i wish i would have bought wheels and tires and just let them sit til I did have the time but ah well

I did the leveling kit with a floor jack and jack stands.

Level it...the install is cake, theres a thread on here showing step by step how to install it, and it can be done in about 2 hours, then just get it aligned.

Yea i've still got the directions that came with it from AS...my dad hasnt read them yet, i think he thinks it's harder then it is

I'd say go ahead and level it. Then when the time comes for some new tires, just up the size a bit :D

I have 39xxx miles on my truck w/ level and factory wheels/tires. Doesn't bother me at all.

Limiting your downward suspension travel = rides better? I call BS. :)

It will look better leveled though.
