How Is My Truck Leveled?

[hunter031789]

I was hoping some of the experts on here could help me determine how my truck is leveled? I bought it 9 months ago and the previous owner had it leveled but didn't really know specifically how it was done. I didn't think the Gen 2s have several spring perches like the Gen 1s so I have been looking for any other aftermarket equipment but can't tell as I don't really know what OEM looks like. My current hunch is that he had Eibach springs installed but I might also see a spacer on the top of the strut in the 3rd picture but I don't think so. Open to thoughts!

Pretty sure your hunch is correct regarding the Eibach springs. OEM's are black.

Best way to unfvck it is Deavers.

Eibach's have the eibach logo and part number on them. I can kinda see it in one of of the pics.

Great call, I didn't even notice the logo!


From what I have read here, it seems that Eibachs to level the front is a pretty normal choice? GordoJay's comment makes me wonder though....

Eibachs are great. I think he's talking about if you wanted to add same rake back in. Deaver +3's will lift the back an inch and ride a lot better.

Ah gotcha. So what does the "+3" mean if it's only lifting an inch? Also do you know what the "HD" deavers means?

+3 is 1" of lift witht he factory block removed. So you need a bumpstop kit like what sdhq sells, as the factory block is part of the bumpstop "system".

HD is for hauling a load. I got the HD's on my truck because I tow a trailer monthly. They're a bit stiffer, but the truck still rides nice.

Exactly. If you load your truck to gvwr and go bounce around in the desert, your truck will level itself. Ask me how I know.
