Front PML only?

[Scott Peele]

I would like to give my X a more even stance. It's a 2WD but I have never liked the rake, with the front end lower than the rear. Would only doing the front suspension part of the PML take care of that? Again, this would be purely for aesthetics as it's a 2WD and I rarely go off road.

Yep. Just crank up the torsion bars. Remember to check your bumps tops for no less that 1/2" gap when she's all settled on the ground.

That will also require an alignment when completed, correct?

Unless you want to buy new tires and potentially new front suspension parts,

So yes, that's what I was trying to say

Thanks! Can you guys think of any reason not to do this?

The rake is there to keep the truck more stable during driving - steering, braking, etc. Also it helps with aerodynamics, you may notice a drop in MPG's after leveling the ride out.

FWIW, my truck is damn-near level and it still handles and drives just fine, even with no front or rear sway bars. AND my mileage was garbage before my PML, so no loss there either

Yeah the MPG issue is kind of like closing the barn door after the horse got out.....

I cranked mine up an inch to level it as soon as I found out how easy it is. I didn't notice any significant difference in the ride or drive.

Lucky you! I pulled my front end up and have 1/2 an inch on both sides my ride is like sitting on the floor of a bouncy house with 13 kids bouncing around ya. I don't mind it but scared the daylights out of my mom this morning lol. Hopefully now she will stop asking for rides to/from work!

Don't know why it would do that. Then again I have probably more like 3/4 or more clearance so that could be the difference.
