Hey guys, i’m new to the community and lifting trucks. I’m looking to do a small lift on my truck, how much do I need to lift the front to level it out? I’m hearing 2” more than the rear, is that right. looking for a level lift. I think i’m looking on the 2-4” lift area. also what’s the preferred method of lifting in that range?

Measure your truck from the top of the wheel wells to the ground. Every truck is just slightly different, depending on how it's equipped, miles, wear and tear, etc.

Generally speaking, don't raise the front more than 2.5" unless you also do a diff drop and new control arms. Easiest way to raise the front is spacers under the bottom of the struts. A 1" spacer will give you approx. 2" increase in height.
