Ive been told at work that putting a leveling kit on these trucks is a giant pain in the ***. Ive looked at a few sets of instructions and it really doesn't seem that difficult. Debating to buy this right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-1-2...ayphotohosting

Dont want to buy something and not be able to put it on. Also how much do you think a shop would charge to put them on?

Comments, ideas, etc thanks

 

Thay are not hard to put on at all. It took me 1 1/2 hours to put my kit on. but I would get a 2 inch kit not a 2 1/2 inch this is the one I got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...1%7C240%3A1308

 

what not get a 2 1/2?

 

Because I thank you have to replace the front shocks. And your front will sit higher than the back.

 

I was able to do the 2" without too much problem. That said, I don't know if I could have done it with a 2.5" spacer without a spring compressor. The install is not that bad at all but a buddy is suggested with getting the coils back in the perch after the spacer is installed. I used a crowbar to help compress the coil against the pearch... and a hammer to help aid it getting back in place.

 

I suggest replacing the shocks reguardless. I went with the 2" lift shocks in the front and they work well. As far as the sitting higher in the back... I still have another 1.5" of difference between the front and back although in my sig picture you can't tell. It is an illusion but I could have gotten away with the 2.5" level. I wanted something inbetween so if I have a little weight, the rear isn't saging too much.

 

wont the front sit higher regardless? I thought i would need a block or add a leaf to level it.

 

If you unbolt the stabilizer bar links, you shouldn't need to compress the springs.

 

if there's any doubt about spring pressure, you can't rent/borrow a coil spring compressor from autozone or advance.

 

with 2 inch my truck sits level
