With all the con’s regarding leveling/lifting my truck I’m starting to wonder if it’s even worth doing. Especially on a brand new $40k truck. I really want a 3.5” lift in front and 2” in rear with mud tires. But messing with The factory suspension geometry. Poor ride quality, faster wear on front suspension parts. Loss of fuel efficiency with larger heavier tires and wheels. Faster wear on brake components. For what? Just too look cool? I love the way leveled/lifted trucks look but I’m not sure if I want to take on all the risks associated with doing so. Most of all I don’t want to mess up my comfortable ride. I love how mud tires look but I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra weight, noise and stiffness compared to a highway tire. I have a 2wd truck and rarely leave pavement except for occasionally driving on the beach. Any suggestions? The other issue is what is the "RIGHT" way to level or lift a truck? No one seems to have front struts out yet. Shouldn't you change those out along with upper control arms, longer springs, and taller spindle to do it right? Even if it's only 3.5" or 4"?
