Default Level Kits owner's, question?

I finnaly got my level kit installed and have a few questions?

Did you noticed a difference in bumpy road, (Stiffer front end)?
Did you noticed a difference at high speed, catching more wind?

I will post some pictures shortly but would like some feedback from peoples that as it installed already cause I find the drive a bit funny at first.[sm=feedback.gif]

my front end does ride a little stiffer after I had my kit installed, but I thought the suspension was too soft to begain with so I don't mind the change. As for your truck catching more wind it is going to because you raised the front end up.

Yup on both counts. Like 02wrangler said, It firmed up nicely (shocks just need more dapening) and I did notice a little wind pushing. After about a week it feels normal.

I think it looks GREAT!!!

hey moosehunter, very nice truck you got there . i know you guys are talking about the front end leveling kit. thought i would give a report on the rear lowering shackles that level the truck out also , just the other way. it does feel the front end bounce is much better. i guess it shifts some of the weight to the rear. not so nose heavy. i feel it helped with the cornering also . leveling the truck out makes it look so much better , but hurt gas mpg a little .





thinking aboutlowering it like this when some lowering kits come out !!!! (photoshop)
