Questions About Leveling Kits

I'm going to add a leveling kit to my 05 Crewcab soon and I'm a little confused about what size to put on. Seems like most trucks I read about have the 2.5" lift. My truck only mesures a 2" difference in space between the front and back. So, should I go with a 2" or 2.5"? I would like the truck to sit as level as possible. I would also like to know if you can see any of the spacer once it is installed. Thanks.

if there is only a 2" difference get the 2" leveling kit. no you will not be able to see it.

I have a 05 4x Lariat w/the 2"AS Level KIt. I can see just a very small portion of it.

Measure the difference from front to back and go with that spacer. It depends a lot on the truck how much rake they have.

My '04 had a lot of rake in the front stock. I went with a 2 1/2" kit and it leveled it perfectly. Kit has been in over 3 yrs. with no problems.

you can see the bottom of the 2.5 spacer. you can tell a stock strut from a strut with the spacer. doesn't look bad...if somebody doesn't know about it, they wont notice
