I am rethinking not doing a levelling for the front. Today the Wife and I got 1200lbs of fine gravel for our pathway. The back of the truck was at the right height for shovelling it all out and into buckets. I doubt I am going to lift the front. Besides I don't have to jump up in it. Just stand on my toes and sit in it. If I lifted it I think I would have to put steps/Tubes on it and ruin the way a "Sport" looks.

I like the raked look myself, but as for leveling there are two schools of thought...

By lowering the rear you will not impact your MPGs in a negative way, but will decrease your payload.

By raising the front you will loose some MPG, but get a "bigger" look and keep your payload.

Those are usually the factors that decide the path.

I have to agree with CarGuyOhio, I wanted to lower the back and the front and I think it came out okay. I still have air bags in the back so when I pull my trailer it will not kill the truck. So far it has worked well.

Twist, did you get your hands on a kit, or did you just saw those springs down?

I installed a Ground Force drop kit on my truck. It wasn't to hard to install, and everything is reversable if needed.
