Default 2wd lift

Wanting to give my 2wd a 4x4 look with a lift, but I don't want the front to be lower than the back (as it is now) what would be the cheapest way for me to give my truck a leveled, balanced 2-3 in boost?

A leveling kit like a coil spacer would bring your front end up it might stiffen your ride a bit but they are relatively cheap or a spindle lift would be best but they are kinda spendy

I have a Daystar leveling kit too (1.5") and its stiff too and kinda noisy but for the price I'd do it, I also have a 3 in body lift so that might have something to do with the ride

3.5" spindle lift kit is the best way to get 4x4 stance, factory ride, and level out

Agreed, the 3.5" spindle with a small block in the back puts it right at even with a stock 4x4, while maintaining the stock ride quality. And keeps everything suspension wise even so if you later want to go bigger with a body lift or suspension you can with no problems with the existing lift. Other than replacing the block in the back

This is my 2wd with a 1.5" spacer



And this is with a 3.5" spindle and replacement lift coils (before new tires)




This should give you an idea of the lift your getting, just take a inch or 2 off the second picture since I also had the coils lift
