I figured I would get better answers here than anywhere else.

I just bought a 2014 F150 2WD. I would like to level it out, because of the forward rake. I will keep stock tires on it and am not looking for an off road truck. I just want it to sit level and look good. Was just wondering about pros and cons of doing it. I would have a dealer installed leveling kit if I decide to do it. I have heard that it can wear out front suspension parts prematurely and can give the truck a stiffer ride??

I think leveling kits are great. Aren't they just added springs or something? Wouldn't really affect ride. I guess.

Same category as the above, black wheels, in memory of, truck nuts, etc. It's cheesy.

Yesterday, I rode in a leveled Z71 Sierra with a salt life sticker on it. What is the cheese level of that?

leveling kit on a 2wd truck is hardly noticeable if not paying attention to it and especially keeping stock tires.

Are cool. You are misguided. So do you have a beef with Tacoma Prerunners?

Don't care about leveling kits though. I'm sure it can be done to look right under certain circumstances.

I was researching this also. when I put my 5x10 trailer on it, the front end sits up a bit and blinds oncoming vehicles at night.

So what your saying is that it would happen on a 4x4 anyway? So what's it matter if a 4x2 does it?
