I have an 06 S-Crew 4x4 w/a 6.5' bed. Can someone tell me what size of leveling kit I should install? I see sizes ranging from 1.5" to 2.5". Is it application specific (per each truck) so I would then need to measure the top of fender opening height front and rear?

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Some people just want more lift than others. For instance some people tow and don't want the rear to be lower than the front, so they may go with a 1.5 inch kit. Just measure your truck and decide how much front lift will make you happy. Also, the size of the leveling kit refers to the amount of lift it gives. In other words a 2.5 inch leveling kit will not be 2.5 inches tall.

 

Put a 2" AS on my 06 and am very happy with it. The truck sits completely level and drives the same as before. Also the ball joint angle is not as severe as with a 2.5" kit.

 

Id recommend looking at the 2.5" AS and a 1.5" AAL. This way you get some lift up front and some in the rear, although it will leave a small amount of rake in the truck. But with the AAL you will still have towing capabilities w/out sitting nose up while towing (considering what the trailer is).

Here is mine w/ the 2.5" AutoSpring, 1.5" Skyjacker AAL, and 305/65/18 BFG A/T's



My measurements are 41" from the ground to center of front fender and 42" from ground to center of rear fender. Hope this helps!
