Default Purpose of a 2 inch leveling kit

I saw they make a 2 inch leveling kit that is for the front end when I was looking up lift kits and I have no idea what they are for other than supposedly leveling the truck.

To level it and give more clearance for a larger tire

Leveling the truck. That's it. From the factory, when unloaded, the rear sits higher than the front. A leveling kit is just a pair of spacers that raise the front x amount.

35's might still rub slightly.Where it still rubs depends on what backspacing the wheels have.
