I am planning on doing a 2" lift on a 2006 Tahoe. I understand there are leveling kits that will level the front end by bringing it up, but when you put a 2" lift on, do they come with components to level the vehicle? Meaning, will everything just be lifted two inches and I will still have a rake to my stance of the Tahoe? Or will it provide the two inches to the rear, and parts to left the front and level it with the rear? I don't want a rake. I am thinking they do not provide the leveling and I will have to get a lift and a leveling kit.
New to lifts, question please

I put a leveling kit on my '02 Z71 4x4... it included new "keys" to increase the pre-load on the torsion bars to "lift" the front end. There is some adjustability on how far you crank them, more=higher=stiffer ride... my kit also came with 2" spacers for the rear. Mine has a considerable rake. If your intent is just looks, and not trying to clear 33's or something, you could possibly install the keys (front) and forego the rear spacers, or get thinner spacers. If you have not had the pleasure of working with springs and related forces, please do some research for your safety.

I installed 1.5-inch spacers and H2 springs in the rear, which raised the back by about 4 inches. I used rear sway bar end links from a 2007 Jeep Wrangler to accommodate the lift and installed Bilstein 5100 shocks all around. To raise the front, I used Wolf Keys. Still need to replace the front upper control arms and install front sway bar endlinks to compensate for the lift. This allowed me to install 31's. I have 275 70 18's KO2 tires. Hope this helps
