OPINIONS NEEDED - Crank Keys in the front and level truck, YES or NO?

[JochenWoern]

Debating if I should raise the front of my truck to level it.

Truck sits exactly as in my sig pic below, all stock, running 275/55R20's.

No plan for larger tires in the near future.

What are your guys' thoughts and opinions? Do it or leave it as it sits?

Thanks in advance Guys.

Ride quality will decrease drastically with cranked keys.

i have my truck set up with cranked stock keys and it really isnt that bad. not a nice as stock but not horrible. i also have bilstein HDs if that makes a difference. time for new ones though. have about 75k miles on these now. may step up to 5100s

My stock keys are cranked to level out the back and I notice very little difference in right quality. I do think the ride quality is horrible when you max out the 2.5" reindexed keys.

I agree with the others, level out the rear

Thanks everyone, appreciate the feedback.

Mama says that the truck needs to sit as it is, no messing around. ;-)

I agree with Mama. It both looks better, and likely rides better, as is shown in your photo, as opposed to so many others that are supposedly "leveled", but actually look like their front is higher than their rear.

Thank for your input, ........................ The better half will be happy that you voted for her.

I lost my mind for a bit and bought a 2006 H3 with the adventure package brand new. Since I had the local Hummer's dealers bet "you can't break it or we'll fix it"....amongst other things I cranked the keys on it to level it.

It wheeled great (surprised me coming from a lot of special-built jeeps over the years) and it rode "OK" on the road after I cranked the keys.

I got my senses back and traded it away and took a very small loss after 6 months of owning it. Just before the announced end or I'd probably have had a bigger loss! lol.

Anyway - other than white - which is our preferred color (we have 4 white vehicles and the gray Tahoe) the Silver Birch Metallic like your is a GREAT COLOR! It looks so clean with those rims too - I'd drive it till the wheels fell off and that could be a long time. Congrats!
