Leveling Kits
Leveling kits lift the front of your vehicle, since most come stock as nose down. The more aggressive leveling kits will also lift the rear of your vehicle slightly.

Leveling kits lift the front of your vehicle, since most come stock as nose down. The more aggressive leveling kits will also lift the rear of your vehicle slightly.
A leveling kit is an aftermarket suspension accessory or shock designed to help a truck, SUV, or Jeep achieve a more even stance. These kits address the factory rake (front-to-rear height difference) in most models sold today. Automotive manufacturers incorporate the factory rack mainly to keep the vehicle level when towing or carrying heavy loads. Not all drivers appreciate this nose-down look; it explains why leveling kits are such a popular upgrade.
At Jack-it, we offer all types of leveling kits. These kits range from inexpensive kits that include coil or strut spacers to complete suspension systems with replacement coil springs and radius arms or performance coilovers. The kind you need will depend on your vehicle's year, make, and model, the type of driving you do, and your budget. Below are the most common types on the market, separated by suspension type and lift method:
The coil / strut suspension (coilovers) is widespread on 1/2 ton and midsize trucks and SUVs. This is a coil spring mounted over a shock to support and dampen the front suspension. Leveling kit types for these models with this type of suspension are listed below:
A suspension component commonly purchased or included with any of the above coilover suspension-type leveling kits is aftermarket upper control arms (UCAs). These work well to complement leveling and lift kits to improve suspension travel and provide camber and caster adjustments.
Leveling kits for this suspension type are primary for the Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 and Ford F250 / F350 trucks. These all use a coil spring style front suspension that allows for various options for leveling. Below are the most commons options:
An adjustable track bar or track bar drop bracket is commonly included with leveling kits fitting the coil spring suspension type. This keeps the axle centered and tracking correctly.
Torsion Bar Suspension: This suspension type uses a long, cylindrical bar made of hardened steel that attaches one end to the lower control arm and the other to the chassis through a torsion bar key. The bar is designed to resist twisting forces, which create a spring-like effect. The resistance can be changed by adjusting the torsion bar key or purchasing reindex torsion bar keys. This change in resistance will can raise or lower the front end. At Jack-it, we offer forged steel reindexed torsion bar keys that lift the front end from 1 to 2 inches.
