Default Have you leveled your truck?

I'm just curious about leveling. Personally I like the look of a leveled truck with no load other than passengers. However if you load your bed up now you have a truck with a saggy rear end and IMO that looks much worse than a factory jacked up rear end. I assume that if you had rear airbags installed with your leveled truck the saggy rear end under load wouldn't be an issue. Although my truck is stock I'm very happy with the look. I only have a 5/8-3/4 inch difference between the front and rear height. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it being a 2500 QCLB or not. I have seen lots of 1500 Rams around town that look way jacked up in the back. Of coarse if it were the late 60's early 70's put some wider tires on the back and that would be really cool!

Ummmm, yes I've leveled my truck.

Not to be an @ss, but other than that question I don't really see another question anywhere in the thread.

Also, yes a level and some bags in the back the truck wouldn't sag anymore and stay level.

I think I understand what you're asking. and I believe the reason you read about it more often is becuase of the larger differences in height with some people's trucks. Mine, for example has a 3" difference between the front and rear. But with your truck it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

If you level your truck and get a saggy end, just ride around like a cholo and rock it, put on Low Rider and grow a soul patch, it'd look perfect.

Exactly, I wonder why that is? Here is a shot of my truck. It looks like stock suspension to me.

I was levelled for a bit and it really sucked when towing. Especially at night.

I think it has something to do with this chassis set-up. My Mega sets on the same chassis as yours and my front is only about 1/4"-1/2"lower than the rear with no level installed..............Yet! Planning on a 2" level and rear add-a-leafs, hopefully it will come out perfect.
