I priced them at 4 wheel parts and they wanted 552 dollars cause they said they have to take the whole front end off to intall it and realign the front end, is that true or could you do it yourself?

Mine is just 2 big rubber spacers that you put between the top of the coil springs and the tower. You basically have to drop the front end off to get the coils out (what i've heard, havn't put mine in yet) and an alignment isn't a bad idea. I haven't put mine in yet cause when i do it i will be replacing the front end parts as well. You can def do it yourself, but like i said, after, an alignment wouldn't hurt.But its all about planning. I will change the front end parts when i need tires (4-5 months), then ill do the leveling kit and go get tires. where i get tires (and most other places), if you get 4 tires they will do the alignment for free. saves a few bucks that way.

i heard the leveling kit will keep your tires from rubbing. i have 285/75/16 on right now and they rub. would the spacer kind of leveling kit take care of this problem
