2 Inch leveling kit

Probably gonna get the 2" leveling kit here in about a week or two. Is two inches enough to set it level or is the 3 inch kit better? Going for the steel spacers, off ebay guys right over in Alcoa, Tn so should get them real quick What do you guys think? 2 or 3? I thought I heard something about shock upgrade if you go with a 3" but will it look better than a two inch?

personally, I think these trucks look better w/ a rake, but definately go 2" up front vs. 3" if you put anything in the bed, you're gonna look like a Phord riding nose high!

Where did you find 3" spacers? I got some 2" spacers off e-bay that I installed. My truck sits just a little lower in the front still. May be due to my 400 pound bumper hanging off my frontend But I'm happy with it.

2" is enough....looks good, IMO.
3" will be too much and will definately need longer shocks. With Bilsteins... 2" needs longer shocks also!

I found the 3" from a guy on ebay, has a whole store and is around Alcoa, Tn. I can't think of his screen name right now but will check when I get home. They look like real good spacers. Laser cut, 1/4" plate steel, all mounting hardware, instructions....etc.etc..

Yeah, I saw those but I guess I missed that they were 3". Oh well. I installed the bilstien 5100s up front while I was at it. With that extra inch it would probably level me out.

You will need longer shocks with 3" for sure

Also, it seems like some trucks sit lower then others.

For example, my truck sat just about 4" high in the rear. Has camper package. People say it doesn't matter, but I swear it sits higher then most.

I put the D25 springs in and bumped it up 2.75" in the front. Still sits 1.25" high in the back. I've seen some trucks sit low in the back with the D25.

Just my 2 cents.
