Leveling Kit

Is any one leveling kit better than another, or are they all the same. Please advise me on the best product at the least expensive price & place to purchase. Thanks.

Thanks Bostiguy. I don't think those prices can be beat. Seems like a good product.

I would stay away from the neoprene type... in favor of steel. Best quality I've seen come from HBS Co. They look... and may be the same as Topgun's (may be an HBS dealer)??

I would stop at 2" and seriously consider the need for longer shocks. Not essential but does make a big difference in the feel department. With Bilstein Shocks, I consider a longer shock essential!

^^^^^^^^^Those prices CAN be beat. I just installed some that I got off ebay. They were $59+ship. ($75) Quality is very good. I WOULD stay away from the neoprene type as well. They're not intended for the weight of our motors.

I bought the 3 inch ones from TopGun. 100 bucks shipped to my door. Good enough for me & more reputable than some jerk on EBAY. I won't have to worry about the 3 inch causing shock problems, because I have a 300 lb RanchHand bumper that has mashed down my springs pretty good. Most people put 2 inches to compensate from stock, so i figured the 3 inch ones would get me back up where stock should be. If I am lucky, it may be high enough to put some 35's on, if I can find some one wanting to swap their 4.10 axles for some 3.55's. I am not gonna run 35 tires with 3.55's gears. TOO much Power loss.

Nothing wrong with the urethane ones.

I've had mine in almost 4 years now, have friends that have thiers in for many more and they beat the crap out thier trucks compared to me.

Thumbs up

I put Skyjacker d25' sand bilstein 5100's and replaced control arms with longer from Jack it, rides great, steering has improved dramatically and it rides like a 4x caddy.
