Leveling kit before lift

Is my assumption correct that before you lift a truck it must have a leveling kit. Or does the lift do that business also? Thanks.

no you do not need a leveling kit to lift your truck. Give us more specifics on your truck 2wd or 4wd? What type of lift or you looking for 2"?4"?6"? more? If you give more details we will be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks. 4x4. I was looking at 6 Pro Comp or even a 4 Performance. I don't have the extra loot now. Thats why I'm starting off with the whimpy levelinng kit.

As a matter of fact you CANT have a leveling kit then. You will have to take it off when you put the bigger lift on.

Call Greg at PRG.. Tell him where you can go today and where you want to be tomorrow and he will set you up right!

That is what I did, I did not have the money for a full lift at first so I put a leveling kit on. Then a year later I wanted to go bigger and saved up for the lift and did it. If you are planning on going with a 6" down the road, I would recommend just waiting and do that when you can, no need to waste money on the level if you are just going to take it off.

I think you can find a used kit in the B/S section and once you step up to your 6 inch kit you can sell them for what you paid for them .. Or you call Greg and get the Leveling klt and when you are ready for the 6 inch kit, he helps you out since you are a repeat customer.

Great help as always guys. I'll just start with the leveling kit for now. I don't see a lift in the near future. Between wheels, tires, & the lift your talking 3k. I'll keep my eye on the buy/sell forum. I think I saw a 4" DR performance set up for 1300k. Thanks again.

you can do a 4'' spindle lift with a leveling kit for the front with 4'' rear blocks and new rear springs! you will also need to get new break lines and a CBDB!

if you go that route you can keep the leveler!

oh **** i didnt even notice you were 4x4! yeah then dont even bother getting a leveler unless you can get a used one! but they hold their value used if you go that route! its not like its gonna break your bank

Your right. Thanks. Leveling kit first I think. Unless I can find a deal on a lift first.
