Just bought BFG A/T 315/70R17's and want to put a leveling kit. 05 CTD 4x4 6spd. any recommendations? should I change the shocks also? I wanna do this the right way. Thanks in advance. Im sure you guys get tired of answering the same questions over and over from us newbies.

I have the hellbent steel 2" spacers. Good quality, and cheap.

 

I just put the hellbent steel 2" spacers and bilstein 5100's on my second gen and I love it, just drove from fresno, ca to yuma, az yesterday for the maiden voyage. I have 305/70-16's with plenty of clearance.
a progressive rate coil would be nice but too much $$ for what I'm using my truck for...for just leveling, the spacers and good shocks are fine.

 

I run the Daystar spacers and Rancho RS9000x shocks with my 35's. Truck rides great, IMO better than stock. Definetly change the shocks, I didn't do mine at first and got a pretty wicked shake on the highway at 70MPH.

 

haha, an 'offroad' shop here in Yuma, AZ told my bro for a leveling kit on his '05 to use spacers and shock extensions. no. get good shocks, you will love them.

forgot to mention I towed a 20' baja outlaw from havasu to yuma, such a huge difference towing with good shocks!
