One of the best kits out there, of course also one of the most expensive kits to level it.

Yeah, you would need shocks and longer endlinks for the sway bar or drop blocks. Also research trackbar.

You can do a search on here for leveling kit, check your local truck accessory store, or google leveling kit. There are many out there. Who has the best is debatable. Personally, I have the Daystar 1 1/2 in. leveling kit and am satisfied with it. I would probably be happier with the 2 in. but didn't want to change the suspension. Good luck.

If you're going to be looking at that look at the lorenz suspension "leveling" kit for $565... Probably a little cheaper and order direct from lorenz.

Spacers won't keep it from bottoming out.

If I was on a budget I'd be looking at some Toyo M/T 285/75/17's. You won't need a lift for this and it's a very good looking tire.

Well I ran a Daystar 2" leveling kit, Rancho shocks and BFG 315s for over 50k miles. Worked fine for me. Front suspension is touchy, need to keep tires aired up properely, balanced and rotated and front end aligned properly, but can certainly be done for less money than one of the top of the line kits.

With just a leveling spacer and larger tires if everything is not right it can certainly cause problems and even DW. Just saying to do it right and keep it right. The longer shocks and drop blocks help considerably to eliminate possible problems. Many things can be affected with raising the front end with leveling spacers.

Also don't forget the drop bracket for the trackbar. I don't use one, so I've never researched the drop bracket, but from what I've heard it *should be welded into place. Or you could spend the $350 on an adjustable one.
