  1. Type in " leveling kit" on ebay. They are an easy install and can be found for $45.


  2. If you are wanting to make the front and back the same height it would be much easier to lower the rear 2 inches than raise the front. The back is supposed to be higher so that when you are hauling something in the bed or towing something with the hitch you don't bbumpthe frame of the truck. We did a 2/4 drop on my truck and the first thing we did was put the shackles on the rear. It dropped the back of the truck right around 2 inches. I would say lowering shackles.

  3. try stiffer shocks in the front

  4. The back of your truck is designed to ride higher so that when you have a load in it it will level out. but you could remove a spring from the rear this will make it ride lower but will make it worse at hauling any weight. you could buy a 1.5 inch lift for the front I believe that you can get them at almost any auto parts store they will just have to order it. but will not be cheap. new springs new alignment on the front end. "bigger tires to fill in the new wheel well space to make it look good."

  5. you can use a 3inch spindle lift to keep it cheap or a full lift kit... any changes to your front end geometry will require you to realign it or you WILL destroy the tires and you could end up with "bump-steer" a bad ride and other issues. i have an "RCD" 6 inch lift in my 2001  2500 hd and its gone 150,000 with out any issues !  i do check and maintain it but, i paid good money to have it work right. thats the ticket here ... do it right or you will have problems and wear out lots of tires and other front end parts.. no fun if you cant use it.. if you're in california, there a place called "custom motorsports" in corona.. they aint cheap but they do a good job... the've been there for years and have a good rep too... good luck  

    added--- a thumbs down vote on this mean you know nothing about lifts and alignments.  try to help insted of making judgement about things you dont understand. isn't that what this is thing for ?  thanks

  6. Either a leveling kit, or you could gain two inches by cranking up the torsion bars. Don't go too much or you'll mess with your alignment, you may have to even get it aligned at two inches because it will change your camber. You'll lose a little ride quality.
