One of my friends I work with has a 2003 RC V6 and he wants to know if leveling the front end up would cause any problems with MPG or power or anything bad to happen?

 

The main reason for the "rake" is air flow. Leveling the front will throw the aerodynamics of the truck off some and cause a decrease in fuel economy. Very small, but a decrease nonetheless.

As far as effecting power, well yeah I guess technically since it won't be quite as aerodynamic there will be a decrease in power, but again, minuscule.

 

So not too bad? Is it nothing that a good CAI and a few other things couldn't help? He also has stock 20's from a Hemi on it, if you say it's ok Hammer, I trust you. If you say it's bad, I trust you...you are very knowledgable about this stuff.

 

I have the same set up..Level, V6, flower pedals. (hopefully getting the new 20's soon)

 

Actually if the guy would ditch the heavy a$$ 20s and go with some aluminum 17s it would be the single best thing he can do for both fuel economy and performance. Those 20s are REAL heavy and a LOT of work on a 3.7 V6 on a full size truck.

There will be a difference in leveling the truck, but not much. If he wants to get rid of the "rake" look, go for it..

 

Okay, I've officially decided I want to do this. Anyone know what is a good cheap kit? Doesn't HAVE to be cheap, but would prefer it, and about how much might it cost to get done?
