Default daystar 2" or TM 1.5?

i had a leveling kit installed a few years ago 05-06... when i needed the struts replaced the guy broke the bolts to the upper strut mount. had to get new (stock) mounts lost my level ... today i installed monroe sensatrac self adjusting rears and the back end sits up too high again!

i really want to level the front out ... which one do you guys suggest? ease of install? price? quality?

I decided to go with the 1.5" TM kit.

1.5" seems like enough to level this truck, and it will technically have less wear on ball joints, tie rod, and CVs than a 2" would. Just my .02

I used the trailmaster levelling kit (when I installed my rancho struts) on my truck and as you can see in in my sig it sits pretty level.

TM 1.5" here, perfectly level. And like rengnath said, should be less wear up front than 2".

I have a TM 1.5" kit that is for sale. $50. It is 100% funtional. I went with a 2" kit when I changed to ranchos (got it for free), so now I have this TM kit just sitting here.
