I want to level my 21 PB. 2.5in seems to be what i need but im not sure. New UCAs? I don’t want any squat or any rake.
Running the Stage3 2.3" kit. Just a heads up—it makes the front sit a little higher than the rear.

If the front sits higher than the back with nothing in the bed, that seems like it could be a problem for hauling or towing.
@Kerr
Good point. I need to measure it again now that I’ve put some miles on it. Either way, airbags can fix that if needed.

What do the ‘stages’ mean?

Stage 3 Motorsports is just a brand, not an actual performance rating.

Got it.
I’m using the Ford Performance kit (tuned Bilsteins). Advertised as 2.5", but realistically on the PowerBoost, it settled just under 2".
These are 34.1" Firestone Winterforce tires. My summer set is bigger and fits fine too, but I can’t remember the exact size.
I have a 2022 PowerBoost and always wondered—why do people go for leveling kits? What’s the main reason?
My truck is still under warranty, and the dealer warned me that aftermarket upgrades could void some of it.
@Ari
Yeah, I feel the same. My ‘21 has stock-size AT tires. I’d love a slightly bigger setup, but I still have 12 months left on my warranty, and the tires are basically new. Gonna run these for a while.
@Ari
Personally, I just hate how stock trucks look with the front lower than the rear. Leveling it is mostly for aesthetics. If you’re worried about the warranty, have the dealer install it—then it won’t affect anything.
@Ari
I don’t think it voids the warranty—at least not for GM. I had warranty work done on my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 even with a Rough Country 1.75" kit installed by a local shop.
I want to put 35s on it and get rid of that factory nose-down stance.
@Ari
Honestly, they don’t serve much of a practical purpose. They slightly reduce fuel efficiency and visibility. Some people just don’t like how the truck sits from the factory when unloaded.
Appreciate this thread—hoping someone can help clarify some terminology. A ‘leveling kit’ means raising the front a couple of inches, right?
But if someone uses a lowering shackle on the rear leaves instead, that technically levels it too, just in the opposite way. Is there a specific name for that, or is it just called ‘drop shackles?’
BTW, your trucks look great leveled. Not a fan of the ‘stink bug’ look.
Are you planning on running bigger tires?

Yeah, eventually.
Stock height for me.
I’m lowering mine. Everybody lifts their trucks, so I’m doing the opposite.
Are you off-roading in SC? I miss moving grains of sand from side to side.
