Front Leveling Question.

I've been researching this forum a bit and read about a popping noise while in reverse after the truck has been leveled with the correct kit, something about the tie rods. Did I read and comprehend that right?
Any and all insight greatly appreciated as now I'm wondering if it's even worth it. Maybe just buy and install new springs is what I'm left thinking I should do. The guy said that that alone will lift the truck some.

IMHO...when a part is shot or worn out like your front springs...then it is time for replacements.
Adding a spacer to lift the front...is a band-aide approach. Plus...not a safe one at that. The springs do more than offer ride height...but load capabilities.
Good luck...
