I heard that i could add coil spacers for a little more lift on my truck. If this is true what are the best ones and where should i purchase them ?

Yup you can. I dont like the Twist in styles. But if you use the thick rubber ones, they are safe and will not move.and give you 1in. you can put one on top and one on bottom. 2in lift. There are thicker ones.like 2in.There cheep and easy to install.Check it out http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

Ya I have. Apsolutly no problems. They are perfect for a easy lift. They dont move or brake or wear out.

The leveling kits are only for the front. I think that you need to look further for actual lift kits if you want to raise the rear also. The reason for the leveling kits (front lift) is that these trucks are lower in the front than rear.

ya i know most of them sit lower in the front but with my sport/offroad packages i think mine are close to being level if not their within an inch i'd say you cant tell by looking at it that the front is any lower and im not sure how to measure. The body lifts are like $200-300 for these and a suspension lift is in the low $400 so if i was going to do a lift like that i'd save up and get a 3' susp.
