Im looking to get a leveling kit for my 04 2500. I tow quite a bit with heavy loads, but nothing extreme that would need a fith wheel. i really hate the low front end when the truck is parked, with the tractor on the back it levels it self out. With the leveling kit will the rear sag now with the tractor???

Put it this way I got rid of the F-250 with 8inches because of the sag!!!

 

How much sag are you getting with the load?

 

I have the same problem (not really a problem). I'd like to get a leveling kit for my truck to bring the front end up while unloaded, but with my trailer the truck sits almost perfectly level. I'm worried about the headlights being pointed into the sky while towing. They are perfect now when towing, and a little low unloaded. Maybe if I get a leveling kit one of these days I'll get some simple airbag helper springs in the rear to level this thing out....

 

What about the air ride stuff that's out there? How expensive is it? Wouldn't that assist in raising he truck to leveled point?

 

it doesnt sag right now...it sits level with the load on it??..I dont want airbags.. they seem to expensive

 

Well, I just went through that today. I leveled mine and now with my race car and enclosed trailer it sagged. I was down about 3in in back and the front came up almost 1 3/4 inch. I just made some adjustments to my weight distribution hitch and now loaded up is is only down 1/2" in back and the same as before the load in front.

 

I liked the level look but had the same problem,,,looked stupid with a load, my solution was 2" blocks in the rear. Tall and proud now!

I have this kit installed on my truck. Like it alot. Very good quality.

 

Thanx bro, will def. be checking into them.....Jamie

 

same kit I used and pics in gallery. HBS.

 

Very nice truck indeed, How much did it run you, and did you install yourself or have it done, and what price would it costs to have one installed (ballpark figure in your op)? Thanx for the pics and the info...Jamie

 

Check that link that was posted above. That is their website but they sell on ebay and I think they are cheaper that way. I bought mine off ebay. I did it myself in about 2 hours. You need some pretty beefy jack stands and I used some spring compressors to help out. I had a local place quote me 125.00 to install and I thought that was too much. i would do them all day for that. goodluck

 

Thanx again bro, I'll post up some pics when I get it on. Jamie
