Who has the TREX "leveling kit"

I'm thinking this is the way to go. TRex coils in front and 5100 shocks all around. Does anyone have this setup? How is the ride? What all do you get in the kit besides coils and the two front shocks? Thanks for your help?

I have the complete set up with Bilsteins.
Awesome set up.
I did not put the limit straps on as I do not jump...much.


Levels off nice and much MUCH better ride.

I never thought I'd actually use the limit straps, but they came in handy. As hard as Scotty and I banged the truck on our Baja trip, there was no damage. Although there were a couple of instances where I thought I'd have to pull some seat fabric out from the pucker factor...

The whole kit is a lot more than a method of levelling or a shock swap. Very well designed and a drastic improvement over the bumps. I'm heading down to Baja again in a couple weeks to abuse it some more. And watch Kent in the Baja 1000.

I have the T rex leveling kit and you only get front shocks. It also comes with your choice of standard or HD springs and beefier shock stud mounts. Leveled out the truck perfectly. Kind of wish I had gotten the HD springs now since I just bought the complete road armor package off the studio that produced 2 fast 2 furious

HO,
How's the ride? Did it improve with the kit? I'm going to order mine with all 4 shocks, which is another 150. Where did you get the bumpers? They're sweet! Make sure you post pics when they're installed. Thanks for the reply.

This thread pretty much explains exactly what you get with the kit and how it rides.

As far as the road armor setup, I purchased the actual pieces used in 2 fast 2 furious directly from the movie studio. Certificate of authenticity and all. The road armor equipped trucks were used in the scene at the warehouse where the dodge rams come out and bash all the police cars. It should arrive by this coming monday and as soon as its installed I will post some pics. Should look pretty sweet with the t rex leveler

You can get an 4.5" lift for about 700.00. Why not go with the full lift kit?

I'll see if I can take a couple and post them in the next couple days. You can get a pretty good idea from the T-rex site, since Kent's truck is nearly identical to mine. He's just added a roll cage and fuel cell.
