How much should I raise the front end?

[KennethS]

I think my front end sits to low but the truck drives like a dream. By raising the front end will that hurt the driving and handleing of the truck. Its a 2004, 6 speed diesel and two wheel drive. I am learning to post pictures also.

Kenneth -- Forgive me for being forward but I gotta say that truck is beautiful just the way it is. That low sleek look with that hood scoop is sweet. I think your fuel economy on the highway will only go down if you raise the front. There isn't really a reason to unless you're really unhappy. Just my $. 02. Beautiful truck. Jay

I second that. It looks great.

I'd leave it. Looks great

Looks perfect to me, does the 2wd have the spacers in the back? If so why not just take those out to lower the rear?

2 inch kit, unless your going to raise the rear too! We like our 4x4 up high out West. Cowboy Country

ive been running the daystar spacers for 12000 miles with no probloms still drives the same if you didnt know they where there you would never know a differance. im running 1 1/2 inch spacers and it still has a slight downward rake to it like it should have been from the factory. 2inch spacers would about level it

My first reaction seeing the pic was "OMG" Beautiful truck, stealthy lookin'. I've got the 1. 5 in. Daystars on my 2nd gen.

I'll second what pecandude said... 2" would level it straight across... . BUT, it looks pretty cool the way it is.



pecandude, where in Austin are you?

 

[pecandude1]

Leave it alone!

No kidding... that's gotta be one of the nicest dually's I've seen... and you like the ride? don't touch it.

 

[Scrappy]

lower the rear!

 

[RockinJ]

Slick rig . . . it's perfect as-is!



Your post just solved the dilemma with my '05 Laramie LWB, I'm keepin' the ride height stock and putting the $ into an SRT hood instead.

at the most lower the rear to match the front. however, it looks sweeet just like it is
