\u003cstrong\u003eAxiom Supply Stage 2 Leveling System for 2001-2010 GM HD Trucks\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed for owners looking for substantially more than a basic torsion-key leveling kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional leveling kits increase front ride height by re-indexing the torsion bars, but raising the suspension also changes upper control arm position, ball joint

applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many competing aftermarket upper control arms that incorporate a predetermined amount of caster correction intended around one specific leveling

heights\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis allows an alignment technician to properly set caster and camber based on the truck's \u003cstrong\u003eactual suspension height and configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than forcing the truck to work around geometry intended for one fixed lift setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is improved
