Default Leveling kit

I just installed a 2" Daystar leveling kit in my 05 Dak 4x4 club cab. It took me all of 2 hours to install, even with buddy's { not helping } BS over a cup of joe. Not as bad as I first thought.
Makes the truck look a little better, now it sits level.
I'm running new BFG AT's 265/75-16 before the kit, now it's even better.
Now just got to work on saving for a superchip and cold air intake.

Default lift

daystar is like 225$ 2'' front only

and rough country is 2,5 front + rear lift block+ shocks for 199$

its up to you but i choose rough country i love my kit but the rear block is just 1,5 i would prefer a 2 ou a 2,5 rear block due to lenght of shock that comes in kit

stock ones 24'' extended 15,5'' compressed
rough country 27'' extended and 18'' compressed.

That sucks brother. Parts for our trucks are expensive enough as it is.

that sounds good to me! i mean seriously all that for 199? wow thats only 100 bucks more then the leveling kit i found to do a 1.5 lift on the front only. hmmm good deal will have to think about that. but what does the shock length makeit more difficult or something?
