What’s The Difference Between a Lift Kit and Leveling Kit?
We get this question quite often so wanted to help educate our customers on the difference between a lift kit and a leveling kit. As always, if you can’t decide which is better for your needs, give us a call and one of our truck experts will walk you through the pro’s and con’s of each so we can get you with the right setup!
Leveling Kits
Designed to level out your truck. Stock trucks will have a higher rear to compensate for additional weight in rear
Allows for larger aftermarket tires and wheels
More affordable than a full lift kit
Geared more towards those who aren’t looking to do a lot of offroading
Lift Kits
Designed to lift both the front and rear of your truck anywhere from 2″ to over 10″
Allows for even larger aftermarket tires and wheels
Gives you more flexibility to achieve the results you’re looking for
Geared more towards those who are looking to do a lot of offroading
Both leveling kits and lift kits can be a great investment for your vehicle, but choosing between the two usually comes down to how you plan on using your vehicle. If you plan on crawling over large rock formations, cruising over dirt mounds, and tackling all kinds of outdoor challenges, you could probably use the extra height that you’d get from a lift kit. While a leveling kit raises the front of your vehicle, it may not provide enough ground clearance when you’re going off-road.
If you’re not a serious mudslinger or going off-road every chance you get, but you’d like a little extra room for larger tires and you’ve been known to do some winching, you’re better off with a leveling kit. Give us a call today and we’ll help you decide what’s best for you and your truck.
