About Level Kits
A leveling kit raises the front to meet the rear, so it only makes sense on something that left the factory nose down. That's pickups, body on frame SUVs and a handful of crossovers, not the Civics and 3 Series filling the rest of this site. Driving one of those and want it lower? The lowering springs page is your stop. Driving a Tacoma or a 4Runner? Keep reading.
Most kits are a spacer sitting on top of the front strut, lifting the body by its own thickness. Strut, spring and shock all stay put. What you trade is travel. The spacer pushes the strut lower in its stroke, so there's less droop and the CV joints on a four wheel drive sit at a steeper angle at rest. Modest is fine on a daily. Tall on a factory strut asks those joints to work at their limit all day.
Tire size is why people level. Bringing the front up frees room at the fender liner and the upper arm, and the wheel listings open up once the new height is saved. An alignment follows every spacer install, since camber and toe both move with height. Torsion bar trucks level with a reindexed key rather than a spacer, and that's on its own page.

Common questions
- Will a leveling kit void my warranty
- Not the whole thing. Federal warranty law makes the dealer prove the spacer caused a specific failure before it can deny that claim. The parts a spacer could plausibly hurt are the CV and ball joints up front. Everything else stays covered and isn't up for debate. A modest spacer and an alignment receipt keep that conversation short.
- Does a level hurt the ride
- A touch firmer over big dips and the same over small ones. The spacer sits above the strut and pushes it further out at rest, so there's less droop before it tops out. On a modest spacer with a healthy strut you'll notice it on a steep driveway and nowhere else. Go taller than that and the strut itself has to change.
- Do I need an alignment after
- Every time. Camber, toe and caster all move when the front comes up, and toe is what eats a new set of tires in a hurry. Let the spacer settle over a few days of driving, then have it aligned and keep the printout. A shop that can't reach spec needs the cam bolts from the camber kits page.
