1.5" Level on a 2WD

Is this something that you guys would mess with? what is the advantage of buying this and installing it. Found one for 50 bucks used and wondering if i should buy or pass.
thanks

"Advantage" is just a more level-looking stance. A little more front clearance if that's important to you. Will make oil changes slightly easier without jacking... But mainly aesthetics.

Edit: Make sure you take into account the $60 a new alignment will cost. And I'm assuming you're talking about a front leveling kit, not a rear level/drop.

Almost forgot the other "big deal" of adding a leveling kit: You can put on slightly larger tires without having to do a full lift, if you're into that.

(remembered this after looking at some posts in the Wheels, Tires & Brakes section)

On a 2WD, the rear 1.5" drop will level it out with a sportier stance. I plan on doing this mod myself when I get some big wheels.
