4WD and 2WD Leveling Kits Viper Motorsports Weatherford TX

The Chevrolet Siverado, Dodge Ram, and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 & 3500 as well as the Ford F150, F250 & F350 all come from the factory with a certain amount of "rake" built into the suspension. In other words, the front of the vehicle sits lower than the rear. The reason for this is simple... trucks are designed with the thought that they will often be used to haul or tow heavy loads. When that extra load is added, the rear springs will compress and the rear of the vehicle will drop a few inches to compensate for the extra load. Believe it or not, automotive engineers never design trucks and SUV's with the thought that the consumer will ever want to alter them in any way.

The fact is, a large majority of people do alter their trucks, jeeps and SUV's. Some people don't like the look of the factory rake and will opt to remove it by installing a leveling kit.

What Does a Leveling Kit Do?
A leveling kit does exactly what the name implies – it levels the truck, Jeep or SUV by raising the front end up a few inches, This is mainly done for looks but, it can also provide a little more ground clearance to the front of the truck or SUV allowing you to run a slightly larger tire or maybe add a heavier front bumper or winch. Even though you have raised the front of the vehicle, you have not changed the payload capacity at all. You can still haul or tow the same amount of weight.

Leveling kits have a fairly simple design and as a result are very affordable. They usually consist of coil spring spacers, strut extensions or torsion keys, depending on your truck, Jeep or SUV's suspension design. Most leveling kits 2 inches or less don't require new shocks and some include shock extensions. If your goal is to give your truck or SUV a more aggressive stance and look or you have uneven weight distribution caused by heavy aftermarket add-ons like bumpers, winches etc, a leveling kit is likely your best choice.
