factory leveling kit?

Seems my 06 has a factory leveling kit, has anyone heard of this. I should be able to put some 315/70/17's on it with a level eh?

thanks

I think maybe the dealer had something done, no factory leveling kit that I've ever heard of...?

I put BFG AT315/70R/17 on mine bone stock. . . . .only a slight rub at full turn. But it is even better now that I added new front coils to level it out. Just my opinion. . .don't buy those silly pucks to level. . . .for a little more money do it right and change out the coils.

Man, that makes 'em ride rough if you don't have a plow on. If that's what he's got he'll think he's got a Diapermax after he puts some aftermarket leveling springs under there.

How hard is it to swap springs? I know where there are some PowerWagon springs for sale and those along with some longer front shocks should raise the front end some.
I'd rather lower my truck some instead (front and rear). No kits out there for that though...

Make sure you know the spring rates before you change to the Powerwagon springs. Since the PW does not come with the diesel you may sag out any length increase you think you'll get if they aren't made for the 4200 pound nose weight of the diesle versus gassers lighter motors

If you realy want to change springs check around this site. There are a couple of good companies that will build what you want. It's not expensive and they know what they are doing.
