Wanted to see what the front end geometry does if I decide to level the truck. Stock has a pretty good rake and it takes 2.25" of front lift to level the truck. I also looked at an intermediate level of 1 3/8". Here's the pics:
Stock, 1 3/8" lift, 2.25" lift
To my eye, level looks best. But I would have to bag it for towing. I'm ok with that.
Now let's look at the front end to see if I can just crank the torsion keys to level it, or if I need more. (stock, 1 3/8", 2.25")
Dang, anyone who just levels it with a new torsion key is really doggin' the UCA and the drive shaft. If I went full level, I would do a diff drop and get new UCAs.
But I think that intermediate position @ 1 3/8" is OK. It improves the look a bit, I shouldn't need bags for towing and the suspension bits look OK. I have the torsion keys on the way so I think I will do just over an inch with them and check things out. If I want to go full level, I will add the diff drop, new UCAs and bag the rear end (adding $800 to the bill).
Would appreciate any thoughts from the collective FR experience.
