Leveling Kits at H&H Truck Accessories
Trucks are built to haul a lot of cargo in the rear, but the front ends aren’t designed to carry additional weight. If aftermarket accessories make your truck front-heavy, you're likely to experience a sagging, nose-down look or “rake.” Fortunately, leveling kits are a great solution for that problem. Leveling kits are there to redistribute some of your truck's weight, add clearance for larger tires, and give it a more even stance.
Had a leveling kit installed on my 4Runner last week. Very impressed with the job done. Looks great and is performing well so far. They seem to put a great deal of care and due diligence in making sure the job is done right and the lift kit is maintained for longevity. Great selection of accessories, a very clean facility, and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

A leveling kit raises the front of your truck to make it level with your rear suspension. Each kit is designed for a specific make and model, meaning you can get a leveling kit for your Ford F150, Ram 2500, Toyota Tacoma and Chevy GMC trucks.
And a truck leveling kit isn't just great for weight distribution, either. By lifting up your truck's front, you can also install larger tires for a more aggressive look and more capability off-road.
If you want to give your truck a more even, stronger look, let it handle heavier accessories, and give it a more dominating appearance, leveling kits are the perfect solution for you. Find the leveling kit to match your truck today.
Truck Leveling Kits at H&H Truck Accessories
Most pickup trucks roll off the factory floor with a slight nose-down rake built into the suspension. It is designed to help the truck sit level when hauling a full load in the bed, but it can make an otherwise great-looking truck appear unbalanced when it is empty. A leveling kit is the simplest, most affordable way to fix that. At H&H Truck Accessories, we carry leveling kits from top brands including Rough Country, ReadyLIFT, BDS Suspension, Fabtech, Daystar, Skyjacker, Rancho, and more, with options for virtually every make and model on the road.
What Does a Leveling Kit Do?
A leveling kit raises the front of your truck to match the height of the rear, creating a flat, even stance from bumper to bumper. Most kits lift the front end between 1.5 and 3 inches using spacers or strut extensions that work with your factory suspension. The result is a cleaner, more aggressive look without the complexity or cost of a full suspension lift kit.
Beyond appearance, leveling kits also create clearance for larger tires up front and can help offset the extra weight of aftermarket accessories like a heavy bumper or a winch. If your truck is sagging in the front or looking nose-down, a leveling kit is usually the right first step.
Types of Leveling Kits We Carry
Coil Spacer Leveling Kits
Coil spacer kits are the most common type for independent front suspension trucks like the Ford F-150, RAM 1500, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevy Silverado. A billet aluminum or polyurethane spacer sits on top of the factory coil spring or strut to add height without replacing the OEM components. They are straightforward to install and work well for daily drivers who want a cleaner look.
Strut Extension Leveling Kits
Strut extension kits bolt directly to the top of the factory strut assembly and raise the front of the vehicle without compressing or modifying the factory spring rate. These are a popular choice for trucks where preserving factory ride quality is a priority.
Torsion Bar Leveling Kits
For trucks equipped with torsion bar front suspension, a torsion bar leveling kit uses adjustment keys or replacement keys to raise the front end by increasing tension on the torsion bars. These are commonly used on older GM trucks, the Ford Ranger, and some Dodge models.

FAQs: Truck Leveling Kits
What is a leveling kit, and how does it work?
A leveling kit raises the front of your truck to match the height of the rear, eliminating the factory rake. Most kits use spacers or strut extensions that sit on top of your existing suspension components to add 1.5 to 3 inches of front-end height.
Will a leveling kit affect my ride quality?
A quality leveling kit from a reputable brand should have minimal impact on ride quality. Because most kits work with your factory suspension rather than replacing it, the change in feel is typically very subtle. Pairing your kit with new shocks can actually improve ride quality on higher-mileage trucks.
What size tires can I run after installing a leveling kit?
The answer depends on your specific truck and how much lift the kit provides. In general, a 2-inch leveling kit allows most trucks to fit tires in the 33-inch to 35-inch range without rubbing. Our team can help you confirm the right tire size for your truck and kit combination.
Is a leveling kit the same as a lift kit?
No. A leveling kit only raises the front of the vehicle to create an even stance and typically adds 1.5 to 3 inches of front-end height. A lift kit raises the entire vehicle, front and rear, and often involves a more extensive suspension overhaul with significantly more ground clearance.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing a leveling kit?
Yes. Any time you modify your suspension, a wheel alignment is necessary to make sure your truck tracks straight and your tires wear evenly. H&H can perform the alignment at the time of installation, so your truck is road-ready when you leave.
How long does it take to install a leveling kit?
Most leveling kit installations take between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the vehicle and kit. Our technicians will give you an accurate time estimate when you bring your truck in.
Which trucks are leveling kits available for?
We carry leveling kits for a wide range of popular trucks, including the Ford F-150, Ford F-250, RAM 1500, RAM 2500, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan, and many others.
