Default Leveling kit, spring coil, shocks and blah blah

Well I think I get it...maybe. At one one point I wanted to lift my truck 3-5 inches but after lack of cash, friends yelling at me not too and finding out that I should really change my gears then I decided not too.


I run 33" tires but like to level out my front...why? Don't know...something to do! plus someone, forgot who, mentioned using HellBent http://www.hellbentsteel.com/110-000-001.html

For $80 and 2.5" in front why not? Or does someone have a better suggestion? like replacing my coil springs instead to get that level or shocks or anything? Let me know, I'm curious!

I do not notice my front lower but who knows I can be wrong once in my life!

I'd say a 2" for a 1500. I wouldn't do springs unless you were changing other things too. There are a lot of different springs out there and you could end up with a really bad ride. Not to mention the cost will be a lot more than a leveling kit. As for brands, I don't think it matters much when it comes to leveling kits.

I just put a 3" Coil spring spacer on my truck about 2 weeks ago, way better clearance for my. I was really surprised how much it helped out.... They only took about 15 each to put on (had to use coil spring compresser to get them in there). Shes just a hair higher in the front but I plan to get my rear leaf springs adjusted 1inch to compensate.
