Looking at a Leveling kit
Im looking at getting a leveling kit for my 06. I was figuring on a 2" kit, but was wondering if there is any 3" kits out there that will still keep the truck level. I dont want to go to a complete 4"lift due to pulling the gooseneck. I have airbags on the back, so that is also something I have to take into consideration. My truck leans hard to the front as it is, and Im getting ready to install a buckstop bumper when it gets here, so I figure its going to go down a little more in front. Open to suggestions and opinions. Current tires/wheels are 305 Pro Comps on MM 17x9's

I used the TopGunz spacer, but I can't remember if it was 2 or 2 1/2 inches. Someone else here my know which they sell. Then I installed a FabFours bumper (270 pounds, every bit as heavy as a buckstop I think) Truck didn't sag any in the front. I have just a little nose down when viewing from the side, very minimal. And at least it won't be squatting when towing.

The top guns kit is called a 2" but is about 2 1/8". They also make a 3" spacer but then you'll have to change your pitman arm. Are you going to put bigger tires on? If not I wouldn't even worry about it.

I put on a procomp 2 inch leveling kit, stick with a 2 inch kit, after the install the front came within a 1/2 an inch of the rear, 41 in front and 41 1/2 in the rear. Looks just right with the 35's I put on check the pic in my gallery.

On a side note, I recommend using drop blocks for your sway bar. I bought mine from Lorenz. There are also longer end links instead, but blocks just seem stronger to me than a longer link. You'll need one or the other though. Otherwise, your end links will hate you after a while.

Lorenz
You'll be really happy with the Lorenz' products. He offers a lot of product for minimal markup. Good customer service too! I would go with his I.R. coils and rear mini-paks.

I'm still debating on which way to go.. If I do it, I really would only "need" the coils and F/R shocks. I would LIKE to do a bling bling kit, but Im not sure I really need it for my application.
