2" isnt a big difference at all, thats why I wont get a 4" or 6", for $1k yu barely see a change.

Yeah, I know what ya mean, but for $100, I may get a leveling kit, I'd just like to see a comparison picture.

im definetly ONLY getting the leveling kit for about $65 on EBAY, here's a before and after thread: LINK (http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/showthread.php?t=103570&highlight=leveling+kit)

Honkylips,

My truck has a Hell Bent Steel Leveling kit. My last 2 pics (currently) in my gallery show my truck stock.....and then the others all have the kit installed. The truck has gone through some other changes though. Hope that helps.

I did the 2' Daystars and 35x12.50 BFG M/T's. As it sits right now, the front is 3/4 of an inch higher than the back, but it looks pretty level. Put my plow on the front and it sits just about even. Remember to change your shocks also when adding the kit. I didn't do that at first and got a horrible DW until I did so. Post some pics when you are done with the kit.

DW?? Just front shocks or rears too? What kind did you get?

I added some Rancho RS9000x's after I got the death wobble on the highway. After you add more lift to your stock shocks, they are extended all the time and have no way to handle the bumps on the highway which means they wear out quicker. I use to get the death wobble on the highway at speed when I hit a bump. The shocks really made a difference, and in my honest opinion the truck rides better with 35's and the shocks on level 5. I have them all set at the same setting, haven't really tried other settings. I think I got all four shocks shipped to my house for $299.

with 2" Lorenz coils. My actual lift was about 2" You can just put them in as a leveling kit.

If you look at the top of the wheel compared to the bumper. You can see the height difference.
