This looked like a good deal for you 2x4 guys, since most leveling kits alone are $80-120.

Thats just the Rough Country leveling kit, it has the options of coming with rear blocks, and rear shocks.

BUT, the rear shocks are garbage, they need to be 2" longer for the blocks, but for some reason are about a foot longer, and don't fit. That has been a subject discussed here several times.

Your best bet is to buy the Trailmaster kit, or the Autospring kit, and then get a steel block kit from advanced auto or the like. You could get the autospring 2.5" leveling kit, and the rear block kit from advanced auto, and the total cost would be around $90.

Actually, the auction description says it's a complete kit, and also that it raises the front AND rear 2 1/2". So, unless they are false advertising, I would say it's both front and rear.

I would say that's a pretty decent price on that, even if you don't use the rear shocks. I would like to see someone put that on the 4x4 Dak just to see how long the ball joints and CV's last with it on. Anyone??? lol
