Lift + Level Question

I currently have a 2wd screw with a 2.5" level and 33's. I just ordered a 6" susp lift and new 35" tires and I was wondering if I should keep the level on or take it off. I really don't want the front of the truck to be higher than the back but to be honest I don't have any idea what to expect.

Here's the only picture I could find of my truck if it helps any.



Thanks!

I say go without the leveling kit. If you decide to keep it, you may want to add a leaf or go with a higher block than what the kit comes with.

It depends on which kit you ordered and how high you want to go. If you purchased a kit that comes with a 6 inch spacer, like the Pro COmp Stage 1, you should not stack a spacer on top of it.

I made a Thread a few days ago showing my ball joints with a 6" procomp lift and 2.5 leveling spacer. When I get the chance I'm taking my spacers off and putting the Bilstien 5100's to get an additional 2" lift. The .5" seems to make a big difference on your ball joint angles.

Thanks for all the replys, I think I might just take it off so I don't have to worry about it. The 6" alone with the 35's will look plenty big I think.

when i installed my lift, i added a 1.5" autospring kit (smallest they can make), and i thought the 35's just looked waaayyyy to small for the amount of wheel well spacing.

Keep in mind he has a 4x2. So his truck with a 6 inch lift and a 2 inch leveling kit with 35's will be just about identical to the height of your 4x4 with a 6 inch lift and 35's.

I would not stack another spacer on top of the 6 inch Pro Comp spacer.
