What problems can occur with the 4x4's if you have a 2.5" level.....that is what I have and haven't had any problems yet (knock on wood)

Looks like you got it if that is your sig pic. It will need to be resized as that is too big (sig rule violation....). You can resize it in photobucket if thats where you have it, I usually resize mine to medium but for some reason it takes awhile for it to actually resize in the sig box.

Well so far I have found a couple kits I am interested in. Most of you said to go with rough country, I have also found one by Daystar that is labeled as being a "comfort ride" kit, no idea what that means though. Also found a brand called Timbren that costs like twice as much as the others. Anyone heard of Timbren and have any idea why they cost so much more?

i believe the timbren is more like an overload kit than anything else, like if you plowed. Trailmaster makes a good kit, to....

I have the daystar leveling kit, I picked it because I found it on sale at the time and I figured over the strut would be easier to install

I think the daystar is as good as any of the over the strut ones, I put it on within the week of my rancho 5000s so I'm not really sure how much more it stiffened the ride. I would assume the over the strut would leave the ride the same, where as the inside like the trailmaster would stiffen it up a little
