Is a leveling kit possible with AWD? Most lift kits aren't so I just wanted to check in and see if I could just level it off.

I am sure someone will be around with a definet answer but i dont know why you wouldnt be able to do a leveling kit on it. You can still use a 4 wheel drive truck in 4WD after you level it so i dont know why you wouldnt be able to goodluck1

I have a 2.5" kit in mine.I thought it might be hard on the CV joints with them having to turn full time,but been in there for a few thousand miles with no problems.

The CV joints on our trucks turn full time whether you have an AWD or 4WD. A torsion bar leveling kit shouldn't affect anything as long as you don't crank the front end more than 2-2.5 inches.

Guess I kinda worded that wrong cheers Was thinking that they might wear faster by having power through them all the time.

Craigslist has a 2.5" Ruff Country leveling kit for $75. Is this a good brand because if it is, I would like to jump on this offer fast.

Make sure it's a pair of re-indexed torsion keys and not a coil-spring leveling kit.
