Kore Leveling kit

I was hoping to get a little feedback on the Kore leveling kit, or any other kit similar to it. I do not want to do the spacers, I want new springs and plan on doing Bilstiens on all 4. By adding the drop blocks under the sway bar, will that be seficant to not need longer control arms? I know most guys reccommend a new adjustable track bar, but would it be ok to keep the stocker? I am wanting to at least level my truck and put a little bigger tires on it. What size wheels will fit with a leveling kit and not rub? I would like to keep them on my stock rims, unless I can find a killer deal on some H2 takeoffs.

Most leveling kits raise the front end about 2 inches. I found that if you raise it that much your vehicle does not quite steer properly due to the front axle being shifted to the left slightly. Not really a safety issue more of an annoyance. The adjustable track bar is the way to go IMHO and the cost is not really prohibitive. I think you will be much happier with the new trackbar. Can't help you on the rest of your queries.

Now that we are on the topic of track bars. What is a fair priced adjustable? I liked the prices of the Top Guns Customz stuff, but after they never responded to 2 of my emails, I refuse to give my money to a company that can't spend the time to talk with potential customers.

I went with the Thuren Fabrication adjustable track bar and paid about $350 delivered to the front door step. One end has a urethane bushing with sleeve (greaseable) and the other end is a heim joint. Good quality, heavy duty, and very good service from Don. I had a couple of questions made in a email and he replied via email in a few hours.

I just put the Carli Starter System on mine, along with their adjustable track bar. I really like it so far and am glad i went with a good system and not just spacers. The mini-leaf packs in the rear really made a huge difference over the washboard. Friday i'm getting new wheels and rubber put on, along with an alignment. I went with a little fatter tire in a 325/65 on some 18" rims. They have 5" of BS, so hopefully they won't rub.

I have the KORE HP leveling kit, 35's, everything else is stock. The only issue that I have encountered is slight rubbing of the tires at full lock. Plus the KORE is a little easier on the wallet.
