I need to raise the front of the truck up about 2-2.5" what is the best kit out there?

its a little low with the plow on. It would be nice to have it level as the rear and also give me more room when the plow is on.

 

bad *** hood

 

i did a lot of research.. and ordered what i found to be the best 2" lift from summit racing. But that was back in july and i havent had a chance to install them yet, just sitting in my parts storage box... too busy moving to indiana and now to texas on sunday to do anything with them

i tried finding my thread. but couldn't.. maybe it was on bullrams leveling thread..hmmm

 

Here's one that matches the color of yer truck.

p.s. That chally hood looks WAY better than my stock one.

 

Yeah use that jack to take that damn plow off that 40k truck? Go by a beater and put the plow on that thing. I can't beleive people buy wicked expensive trucks and beat the hell out of them by putting plow's on them. Sorry man, I just don't like plows on new trucks.

 

I don't know if it's the best but...I have the 2" lift from, "Hell Bent Steel". It was less than $80 and no shipping charge. Very well made and does NOT require the compression of the struts. My son-in-law did mine in 1 1/2 hrs. Air wrenches a must. Truck rides just as smooth as before.

 

Why do you have a truck then? I bought my truck because I need a truck to plow, pull, and haul. That's what trucks are built for. I can't believe people buy trucks jack them up put big mud tires on them and then don't wanna get it dirty! :-)

 

That has to be the oddest plow setup I've ever seen. 1/2 ton with no ground clearance and blinging 20" rims.

In any event I'd skip the leveling kit and buy some lift springs for the front. The stock springs are going to be over loaded by the plow and just sticking pucks in there isn't going to fix your problem for long.

 

Nothing wrong with a plow on a new truck - provided it is a 3/4 ton or 1 ton with a plow prep package on it. Plow that size on a half ton is not real bright. Pretty much guarantees that he voided the warranty on the entire drivetrain and the front suspension. (Unless they stopped putting that in the owner manual).

 

Still in the 09 manual
