has anyone else had problems with thier leveling kit?

are you able to get exactly level at all four corners? or is your front still about one to two inches lower?

has anyone had vibrations?

what brand did you use?

what is the measurement difference between the front and back on a factory (stock) rake?

if the kit lifts 2.25" , does this bring the front up to actual level, or just better than factory rake?

did you do any other mods to assist the level kit?

is there parts to help correct the front being out of angle (up to high for stock parts) ?

it seems like im having to do too much tweeking for this simple mod...???

 

change bump stops?

change shocks?

 

any advice will help me sort through this problem.
i think im almost there, but like i said, im confused why this simple mod is giving me so much trouble???

THANKS!!!

 

Do not use a leveling kit. Pretty much a waste of $200. You can get anough adjustment by cranking on the TB to get the proper level (about 24"). You do not want any more than that. There is nothing to do to the rear, except for upgrading the shocks.

 

I agree with Tack. Cranking the t-bars is so much easier and you can adjust up or down a little to get it exactly where you want it. There are a bunch of threads about how to do it and why leveling kits aren't necessary. Then it's just bumpstops and new shocks.

 

will cranking it up too high ( past the 24" mark ) cause problems?

with the front cranked, can you get it exactly level at all four corners, or just close?

what is the difference in height between the front and back on a factory set up ( how much difference when stock )?

 

i already have my truck "leveled" with a readylift kit, but i am having problems.
you can see my thread about "vibrations, leveled".

i read and researched all the searchable threads before i bought the kit.
then bought it, instaled it, and now i am trying to trouble shoot some problems im experiencing...

thanks again for the help...

 

I'm not sure how much damage you can do going too far beyond 24". I just know I'm around 24.25" and I could feel my shocks overextend when I went over bumps, but I'm sure there's other problems more severe that someone else might know. I think my front was around 22.75 before I adjusted them but it's been awhile. Each front tire adjusts individually so you can get all 4 tires close to level, it just depends if the two back tires are level with each other since I don't think there's a way to move them up or down. The posts I've seen here go into a lot of detail as far as where everyone started, how many cranks it took them and where they ended up so if you do a search, you should get a lot more info.

 

Will going beyond 24" cause problems? Death, dismemberment, loss of control, ****ty ride because of over extended shocks, poor handling, tore up front steering and suspension components after time and/or minimal wheeling are a few that come to mind.

The idea of "leveling" is to simply allow more room for larger tires, you do not have to make the truck exactly level. This has ALL been covered in like 92,827 posts in 12,366 threads. SEARCH works, try it please.

If you have a vibration, you went too far in all likelyhood, go a little lower and see what happens.

 

x2 what Doc said!

I will also add that in my/most cases you do not need to level to add tire sizes up to 315's.
