While leveling kits may not get as much attention as complete suspension lift kits, truck leveling kits are nonetheless important pieces of equipment for a variety of reasons.

Thus, we are pleased to bring you our leveling kits guide. We’ll attempt to cover as much as we can to help you understand truck leveling kits, and hopefully help you get the one you need.

Types of Leveling Kits

There are 3 main types of leveling kits available, listed below.

Strut Spacers:

Strut Spacers lifts are for trucks and SUV's that use a coilover strut for the front suspension.

These leveling kits operate by applying a spacer on top of a factory strut. This way, leveling your truck requires no modifications of factory parts. Plus, strut spacers are easily removed if need be.

Strut spacer leveling kits are available from ReadyLift, Zone Offroad, Rough Country, Daystar and other top name brands.

Torsion Bar Keys:

Torsion bar keys replace factory pieces, allowing you to produce lift by adjusting truck's torsion bar. Aftermarket torsion bar keys are stronger than factory to handle more abuse on and off road.

You should purchase a torsion bar key unloading tool along with the leveling kit for easy installation and later adjustment.

Torsion Bar Key leveling kits are available from ReadyLift, Zone Offroad, Rough Country and other top manufacturers.

Coil Spring Spacers:

Coil spring spacer leveling kits are similar to strut spacers, only the spacer is added to the top of factory coil spring. This allows you to maintain a factory ride quality.

Some coil spring spacer leveling kits will require the installation of shock extensions, which are usually included with these leveling kits.

Coil Spacer leveling kits are available from ReadyLift, Zone Offroad, Rough Country and more.
