Default Trailmaster Leveling Kit ?

I am a new member (great site) and had a question about these kits. Several online sellers show a poly kit for the DL223. I thought the new kits were aluminum? I was looking at ordering from autoanything or Rocky Mountain.

Does the poly kit fit in the strut as well, or is it above? I have to put new tires and shocks on my 05 with 50,000 miles. I thought I would put on the leveling kit while I was at it....

I got mine about 2 months ago and it is aluminum. No polyurethane.

I've had them installed on my truck for awhile and they are aluminum. Those sites are probably using the wrong picture, possibly even a different company's leveling kit.

Default Thanks guys...

Thanks for the replies. I just replaced my front sway arm link last weekend, and noticed today while changing oil that my pass. side tie rod end is loose. All these pot holes in Omaha are taking a bite out of my checkbook. Guess I will have to get that fixed ASAP.

I figure since I have to get an alignment anyways, might as well put in new shocks and the TM kit. Have to start looking for the parts I guess.

Yeah man, welcome aboard! I'm here in snowy Omaha also, lol. Let me know if you want to meet up some time. There are a couple of R/T guys from the dak-dur site here also.

Yeah them tie rod ends are a common problem, I had mine replaced under warranty from the dealer just after I installed the trail master leveling kit along with new shocks when I took it in for a front end alliagment good thing to do after you install the leveling kit.. Cya Slick
