Levelling

[Lwlandy]

Expecting my new 2018 SCREW in a couple of weeks and have been reading up on lots of mods folk have made and also aftermarket stuff available.

I like the level stance rather than the factory rake, so this is one of the things I intend to work on as soon as I get the truck. It seems that there are a few options now available to achieve the goal, but one thing I am not completely clear on is what is the actual difference in height from front to rear from the factory?

I see a number of folk using 1.5" collars on the front, but I see there are now Eibach springs that state they are +2.5. I am leaning towards the springs but wondering if I will also need to do something at the rear to get it level?

Thanks for any advice,

I don’t know have them installed but I read on here I believe that if Useing those springs the guy added deavers +3 to even the truck out. Supposedly that brings the rear up 1 inch and then it’s level with those springs. But don’t hold me to it. And one guy said it rode a lot stiffer so he took them off but for off roading a lot I bet they would be great either way. I currently also want to level my truck and will probably just do the 1.5 in front

Thanks Msb, yes it seems there is a lot of information out there (much of it conflicting). I wasn't really looking to do Deavers at the rear too although the more I read up, it seems that they may be a good investment. Truck will be my daily driver (so looking for good on road manners) but will see some off-road too.

Yea I’m in same boat, we don’t really have many baja runs here in NC so which ever way I go will not hurt me.

I was gonna just do a 10 in lift kit but I think I will do the 1.5 instead

Same here, seems like what I've read that 1.5-1.75" in the front is the sweet spot for level. I'm torn between the SVC and RPG, both adjustable. SVC you need the nitrogen recharge to install which seems to be a pain to find a shop to do.

I did the ICON kit set at 1.5", then I changed it to the max 2.25.

In my opinion, 2.25 is the way to go.

This is me at ICON 2.25"

That’s a front end lift, not a level.

Yeah, that looks like the rear needs to come up about an inch to me, getting a better idea of what I need to do though, thanks for the pics.

Its all personal preference. +3 Deavers with 2.25 and you'll be good.
