I highly recommend you remove it. 2" is not worth the headache. This sounds very similar to my experience.

It's not just us. Join any truck forum, ford, chevy, etc. Leveling kits are just not a true lift, and address none of the issues that they create. 2" of lift is not within "factory spec" as the leveling kit manufactures try to claim. Displacing a strut 2" is a huge deal, and will cause issues down the road.

The leveling kits really don't make the truck anymore capable either....it actually makes it less capable.

Body lift and larger tires are the only safe way to go for these trucks..
