Pros and Cons of levelling??

[TRUBRIT]

For you Guys that have levelled your rides. I understand some of the pros, larger tires, better looking. What about some cons? Does it increase wear on any parts? Does it affect ride quality and handling? By lifting the front does this affect the airflow over the truck and thus actual drop in MPG? Recommend levelling kits? Appreciate any info.

The ride quality is the same because it is the same "spring rates and Shocks" as non leveling. The front is a torsion bar setup which enables the height to be adjusted. I have had mine leveled for 2 or 3 years now and have not had any problems. I even did spacers in the back and cranked the front bars as much as I could. I would say if any one would have problems it would be me. If heigh an looks is what your after with out going 6 inches a leveling kit is the way to go. just my .02

Thanks. Any change to the mpg?

Not for me, Still Sucks. I have a heavy Foot and even heavier tires and rims. The comp says about 10 MPG where I think it is more like 12 to 14. Then again I dont think we bought these things for the great MPG.

thanks

If I have to read one more post about HUMMER GAS MILEAGE Im gonna puke. If its a problem for ya, park it, buy a bicycle, and drive it again when gas falls. As for the rest of us, We will enjoy our heated leather seats and 9 MPG

Numb nuts, the request for information was on levelling, Pros and Cons, not on mpg. One con would be a decrease in mpg. The price of gas is not a problem for me. I don't need my heated seats as I live in Florida. Now go ahead and puke, or provide information as requested. I am still looking for recommendations on which is the best kit. The Cognito, or one of the other brands?
