Leveling kit

I have an '03 2wd and I am wondering if a leveling kit would be worth buying and would it look good. Any suggestions to people who have one leveled or seen one leveled. Thanks

How much lift do you want?

I'd go for a spindle lift before a leveling kit on your truck. I like the idea of keeping stock angles if at all possible.

I was trying to stay away from lift kits because everyone tells me don't lift it if its a 2wd. In your opinion, would it look good?

a 3" spindle lift is not a "lift" imo. It keeps your ball joints at a stock angle which a "level" will not. You also can not get 3" of lift out of a level on your body style, I'm not even sure if you can get 2" with out changing the upper control arm to an aftermarket one.

and "everyone" is a moron. Do what you want to your truck.

2wd lifted 9.5" right here! If it's what you want, go for it!

As for leveling kits, you can get spacers or springs. Don't get anything over 2". The Daystar 1.5" is pretty popular and only $40. I started out with one. It's a good product.

I had a 2000 and put a 2in spacer in front with a 3in block in back. Mind you this left the same rake look but I towed everyday so it would even out some. By the time I did that it was the height of some 4x4s. I'll see if I can find a pic of before and after tonight. I don't have any on my phone other than the accident pics. I never had a problem with the lift tho. I replaced the front shocks only because they were already done.

Now mind you the driveway has a slight downward angle toward the road.

It's your truck so you decide what looks good. Everybody has an opinion on looks, mine is lift a truck lower a car.

All of them look nice! I might just go with 2" spacers or a spindle lift kit. Thanks y'all
