I finally did it. I debated it for months and finally did it. I got a 3 inch front leveling kit for my 2012 LT. I was aware that it would give me a slight lean, but that's what I was looking for. I understand it's not everyone's taste, but I love it.

Oh and by the way... Don't be scared to install your own kit. I did mine with my Pops' help and we were finished in about 2 hours tops.

I'll happily post more pics upon request!

Wow that's tall. Are you 2wd? What type of spacer was it, top+bottom or just top?

How are the angles up front? Any plans to level the rear with a coil spacer?
The angles are fine, and it still rides like stock! As of now, I kind of like it leaning, but who knows, I may level out the rear in the future.

Explain "The angles are fine", there is no possible way on a 4wd the angles could be fine. Did this "leveling" kit come with a spacer to drop down the front diff?

Erm. It's kind of hard to explain. Yes the angles are steeper, but in no way "maxed" out, if you will. The truck still drives fine, and I haven't had any problems with the kit yet. Mine is a 2wd, if that might make things easier to envision.

2wd is completely different. You will replace parts sooner still but won't be as big of an issue.

People are a little over critical of angles. I put plenty of hard miles on a 3" kit. It works fine and looks great. Sharp truck man
