different leveling kit explanations?
I'm looking into leveling my 07 and went to two different shops and got two different answers. Both shops carry the same kit. Who is right?
Shop A: We'll install the kit and align it for $
Shop B: You need to buy a steering arm (or rod end) also to correct the tendancy for my truck to pull right after the kit is installed???
Can someone enlighten me please?

I second that, you don't need anything but the leveling spacers. Stock shocks will still work fine also. An alignment was not necessary for my truck. 46K miles later and my tires and steering still run very straight and true. Scotty

ok, does a leveling kit put the nose of the truck slightly higher than the rear?
or does it make it completely level? or does it still retain a very slight drop in the front just not as drastic as stock?

Nose up or nose down....depends on the kit and you can even get a variation from spring to spring (if going with replacement coils). Most spacer kits are 2" there might be some that are 2 1/4" I think. Mine is a 2" replacement coil and changed the ride of the truck for the better. It sits almost perfectly level, maybe a 1/4" - 1/2" low in the front, depending on where you look.
