Default Front end suspension is lower than back...

I have a 2004 sierra and it has always been a little bit higher in the back end. The front suspension just isnt equal with the back and it would look a lot better if it was lifted a bit. I have seen these 100 dollar leveling kits butis this the only option. Are there any easy cheap ways to increase the hight of the front suspension about an inch.

I wouldn't lift the front end I would leave it alone. My Sierra is the same way and I use it on a daily basis for hauling. Once you have the back end loaded down it evens it out.... however if you raise the front end the back end is gonna look like it's saggin way down and it's gonna look rediculous! Trust me on that. But... if you don't ever intend to haul anything I don't see why you couldn't lift the front end a bit.

the torsion keys lift your torsion bars enough to level the front up with back. no its not the only option. you can turn your torion bars to lift it. some say it doesnt affect the ride or wear, and others claim it does. but theres 2 options at least.

Well I saw a guy several years ago who did that to a Nissan and it screwed his camber up REALLY bad! He spent a quite a bit on off-road tires only to have to replace them 3 months later because the tread was gone on one side of the tire and brand new on the other

anytime you mess with suspension or steering an alignment is necessary in order to correct the camber so they do wear evenly.
