The cheapest possible Power Wagon "lift": a pair of 2" coilover spacers up front to level the truck's factory rake. Adds nothing functional — same shocks, same coil, same geometry. removes the factory ~1.5" nose-down stance and lets you clear 33s with a slightly fuller look.
The Power Wagon comes from the factory with ~1.5" of forward rake — the front sits lower than the rear to compensate for the front winch + heavy plow-prep front clip. Visually it looks nose-low.
A leveling kit corrects that look with a coilover spacer. Two paths:
**Strut spacer kit** ($90) — A 2" polyurethane or aluminum spacer that mounts on top of the factory coilover, pushing the body up away from the strut. Bolts on in 2 hours with hand tools. Keeps the factory shock and spring. Cheapest possible "lift."
**Bilstein B6 5100 adjustable** ($240 pair) — Replaces the factory front shock with a Bilstein 5100 that has an adjustable upper-spring perch. Set the perch to the "1.85"" position and you get a level stance with better-than-factory damping. The right answer if you're also going to upgrade shocks (see [[pw-shocks]]) — kills two birds.
**This is NOT a real lift.** It does nothing for:
It IS useful for:
If you want actual capability, skip this and go to a 3" coilover-replacement kit ([[pw-lift-mid-3in]]) or higher. If you want the level look and aren't planning to wheel hard, the Rough Country spacer is $90 well spent.
