’07-’11 Chevy & GMC 1500
Lift and level your vehicle the easy way with Rough Country’s 2-inch leveling kit for the ’07-’11 GMC 1500. The kit utilizes two front 2-inch lower strut mount extensions to quickly and easily level the front and rear, and will allow enough clearance to accommodate up to 32-inch tires. It’s a 100 percent bolt-on kit, and the strut doesn’t need to be disassembled. The fiberglass-reinforced nylon strut mount extensions are durable enough to hold up to the elements and on- and off-road punishment.

’07-’11 Jeep JK Wrangler
The Rubicon Express suspension system is a great setup for leveling a Jeep JK and gaining minimal lift. Adding just 2 inches of lift provides more clearance for stock tires or gives the height needed for a larger tire size. Increase the flexibility in your JK’s suspension with this economical suspension system while maintaining the factory ride quality of the JK. The 2-inch Budget Boost system is extremely simple to install. Bumpstops and Rubicon precision-valved, twin-tube shocks are also included. Information: Rubicon Express Inc., www.rubiconexpress.com.

’11 Chevy 2500HD
Skyjacker Suspensions’ 2-inch leveling kit torsion keys for the ’11 Chevy Silverado 2500HD are an easy way to lift the new truck and an effective and inexpensive way to gain tire and ground clearance. The torsion bar keys are forged, and the kit also includes shock extensions. Information: Skyjacker Inc., 318.388.0816, www.skyjacker.com.

’97-’04 Ford F-150
Superlift’s forged-steel keys are 25 percent stronger than the cast factory pieces. Metric hardware is supplied to prevent overtorquing the torsion bars. Shock extensions are also included with some applications. The keys will provide 112 to 212 inches of adjustable lift height and help maintain a factorylike ride.

Jeep Wrangler JK
The Jeep Wrangler JK spacer kit from Synergy Suspension is available in 34-inch front and rear, or 134-inch front and 34-inch rear. The spacers are manufactured from high-density polyurethane and will help maintain a comfortable factory ride while giving the Jeep a boost for larger tires and increased off-road performance. Information: Synergy Suspension, 805.242.0397, www.synergysuspension.com.

’99-’04 Super Duty
Zone Offroad offers an affordable leveling kit for your ’99-’04 Ford Super Duty. This system includes a five-leaf mini-pack, an adjustable track bar, u-bolts, and center pins. Most of the lift comes from the thickness of the mini-pack, which safely attaches to the bottom of the factory spring. This preserves the factory ride so your 1-ton truck won’t beat you up any more than it already does! However, when a load is applied, the mini-pack will keep the front end from sagging. Information: Zone Offroad Products, 888.998.9663, zoneoffroad.com.

’07-’11 Chevy Silverado 1500
The ’07-’11 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD 2-inch leveling kit from Tuff Country uses coil spring and strut spacers that are mounted above the factory coil and struts and helps maintain a factorylike, highway-friendly ride by not adding any preload on the struts. The kit will give your truck the added room for larger tires and better performance. Information: Tuff Country Inc., 800.288.2190, www.tuffcountry.com.

Ford Diesel Trucks
Late-model Ford Super Duty diesel pickup trucks suffer from the sags, contributing to a funny look and steering and handling problems, especially after accessories like winches or plows are added. Summit offers a bolt-on front suspension leveling kit that’s designed for ’99-’04 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks with the Powerstroke diesel. The kit lifts the front suspension 212 inches to level out the truck from front to rear. The kit includes two leaf springs, a track bar relocation bracket, and U-bolts. Information: Summit Racing Equipment, 800.230.3030, www.summitracing.com.

Chevy & GMC 2500/3500 HD Pickups
Trail Master’s torsion bar leveling kit will lift and adjust the ride on ’11 Chevy/GMC 2500, 3500 HD pickups. The Trail Master keys are designed to raise the vehicle 112 to 212 inches, without additional spring preload. The kit includes shock extensions to maintain proper piston travel within the factory shocks. The kit will maintain a smooth ride and help keep your truck’s maximum towing capabilities.
