Title says it... im trying to front level my 2011 2wd crew cab. All i can seem to find is cheap-o spacers, im looking for the right way, like the bolt on types for the 4wd's... do they make such a thing for the 2wd's?

 

If you insist on leveling - which is stupid Why not lower the rear?

 

truck nose dives... if i have 2 people in the front seats the bumper scrapes my drive way (gravel), not into the low rider look, just wanna pick the front up a little so i dont have to worry about it, its never been a problem until we purchased a new house and the road is higher than the start of the driveway and when the wheels fall off the road it scrapes(... i know... why not fix the driveway... long story) and why is leveling stupid? ... original question still in play, do they make a 2wd front leveling kit?

 

Scrapes the driveway? that is really weird or you are some big folks .

As for why it is stupid, because when you use the truck as a truck then the rear is hanging down and aside from looking weird it screws up the weight transfer to the front brakes.

Check out prerunner kits and see if you can just buy the front coils.

 

its the way my driveway dips at the start... if i could draw a picture on here id show you but its hard to explain why it does it... i just need something even if its temporary... we are having the culvert replaced in august that should fix the problem, but until then i dont want to ruin the front bumper of my truck.

 

Can you just take the entrance to the driveway at an angle? I guess if it were me I would try to find a temporary way to fix the driveway since I assume that other vehicles are going to have the same problem trying to get up it.

 

I looked for the longest time. Seems the 4x4 way is only available to 2WD if you're putting an entire lift kit on, like CST's full 7" lift kit. In the end I finally gave up and went the spacer route. It's slightly rougher in the front, but not by much. The wife didn't notice it, so it's a win there for me.

 

How exactly do they install and how hard are they to do? im confused on where they actually go. Some look like coil spring spacers and some are like billet things that are almost cone shaped.

 

The Daystar kit is coil spacers. Basically big rubber stoppers that sit between the top of the spring and the upper control arms. There are the type of spacers where you put them between the spring's rings, then crank them up to separate the spring rings. I've heard bad things about that type, so I've always avoided them.

As for how hard it is to install, it depends a lot on your mechanical skills, if you have a space to work, and if you have the right tools. I thought about doing it in my driveway, but after the cost of buying additional tools like a spring compressor, it just wasn't worth it in my case. Plus I'm handy, but not quick at any project, so an afternoon job for most would have had me drawing it out for a least an entire weekend. In the end I took it to a 4x4 shop and let them do it. I think I was in and out in about 3 hours.

A couple of things you'll need to figure in the costs if you go with spacers is at least new front shocks, and a front end alignment. If you go with a 2" spacer, the stock shocks will be at their maximum travel height. Also, since they/you will be disassembling the front wheel areas, you'll need a realignment to get it all back into working order.

I hope this helps.

 

Here you go, look up cts suspension and they sell 4" lift spindles for 2wd. They move the wheel bearing down in the spindle and all the suspension geometry is kept the same. They are pretty expensive but you want to do it the right way.

Later down the road, if you want more lift, then you can add a coil spacer on top of that and it will be the same as adding a coil spacer to a stock truck.

About the guy saying lifting the front is stupid and lowering the rear is better. I laughed out loud. Lowering a truck is ridiculous. Go by a car!!!
