There is something about the way a new pickup truck sits that leaves a lot to be desired. Front end low, back end up high. Even before I pulled my new truck off the lot, I knew I had to do something. But not everybody wants a huge lift. That is where Truxxx has you covered, offering lift and levelling kits up to three inches. I decided to give the 2”+ 1” kit a try (Part # 903024). This kit allows the use of 33” tires on stock offset rims with no cutting or rubbing.
Installation was straight forward if you have some mechanical background. It took about four hours but I was in no rush, and if I had a hoist I bet I could have shaved an hour off that time. During the installation it was easy to see that these are quality parts. Nice welds and perfect fitment are what you can expect from a product made in North America. Nothing made offshore here, folks.
Once it was installed it was time to take the measurements. The kit was bang on to what it was supposed to be. A true 2” up front and 1” in the rear. Now the search is on for a set of larger more aggressive tires to get the benefit of some extra ground clearance when driving off-road.
