Leveling is making the front ride height the same as the rear.

Is it ok to do that? Does it affect the ride?

There really is no point to it in my opinion. It almost like a budget lift kit but doesnt attribute to any gains in regards to on or off road performance.

That's what I was thinking, I did see a truck that was leveled that looked pretty darn good. But in your opinion just a regular lift would be better? If I get one I only want 2-2.5 lift.

Thats because trucks sit noticeably higher in the rear to accommodate more weight in the bed.

Go with what you want

Very valid point! I didn't even think about that. I think a 2.5 lift would suit me perfectly.
