Does Snowplow Option = Leveled???
I am getting ready to order shocks and steering stabilizers and getting asked if my truck is stock or leveled. My truck is stock but came with the snowplow option. Does this mean my truck is leveled?

No. Snowplow option is usually heavy front springs, stronger alternator, and aux tranny cooler.

My front end looks pretty high and seems to be level with the rear. I thought the snowplow package springs raised the front end up.

I don't think they're necessarily raising the front end. It's the same size spring but just has a higher weight capacity, so it doesn't sag as much as a spring with a lower weight rating.

PLOW SUSPENSION
The plow suspension springs make the truck sit about 1 inch higher than a truck with standard suspension. However, this is considered stock---not lifted---that's the way they sit. Trucks with plow suspension take the same shocks as ones with standard suspension.

I know the shock won't matter but Rancho was saying if it was leveled, to go with the dual steering stabilizer kit.
