I'm assuming its a 4x4? If so, you can get the coil spacers on eBay or other places for around $70 shipped. It's not a difficult install. Most folks find that 2" is about right. Also, it's recommended to get your tires aligned afterwards.

Coil springs if you want a decent ride and no problems. Adjustable track bar to center the axle again. Adjustable lower control arms to set the caster so it drives correctly. Upgrade the sway bar links if you have very many miles on it.

For nothing more than a little time turning wrenches, you can remove the spacers from the rear leaf pack and level it that way. Truck is much nicer to get into and out of, and it's level without excessive open space in the wheel-wells.

Don't drop the front end before you disconnect the sway bar bushings

That makes the total parts cost of the install go up more than double(DOH)

Also looking for a leveling kit... All i want to do is get the front up just a little and keep everything safe. I thought that some of these spacers claim they can be added safely and keep all the stock components working properly.

Been Happy with my Kore leveling kit that comes with new coil springs, bilstein shocks, and sway bar drop blocks

So your talking about this leveling kit from Kore - http://www.koreraceshop.com/kore-hp-...08-diesel.aspx

That compared to this leveling kit from daystar are quite a bit diff in price. Obviously your getting springs and shocks with the other package but are they really that much better than stock with these spacers? http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...DAYKC09101CAMO

I have the Carli coils, love em. Honestly I would spend the extra $ (which isn't much more) and do coils. you won't be disappointed.
