Hey guys, I need to order my leveling kit today ASAP. There are two that I am looking at. One is labeled as a coil spring leveling kit and the other is labeled as a front strut spacer kit. Is there a difference? If so what? Also, this might sound dumb, but when adding a leveling kit, do you also need to get longer shocks? Thanks for the help!

Oh and one other thing in regards to rear blocks. Are the new blocks going to replace the stock blocks that are on the truck already or just go between. If you are replacing the stock blocks and are looking to add inches, do you have to consider the thickness of the stock ones (i.e. I want to raise the rear 1 inch higher, stock blocks are 1 inch, so I would need to order 2 inch blocks to compensate) Thanks guys!

 

ok one preload the spring and require disassembly of the strut and gonna ride a little stiffer

other one is the easy way bolt it on top of stock assembly


but its the good timming to remplace shocks if you are using stock ones still

 

I'm using the trailmaster levelling kit, which I have inside the coil. Along with Rancho struts.

 

I have mine in the coil since I like it a little rough

And it is stiff; trust me. I get about an inch of movement if I try to bounce the front end. But a stiff ride is a safe one. It prevents wear and is good for handling. Installing inside the strut will also prevent the lower arm from overextending.

 

Sweet thanks guys, so Im hearing from ya.

here is the link to Ready Lift, I know its pricey but I think its what Im gonna go with.

Thanks for the input guys!

Any suggestions or input on rear blocks?

 

A few members have the 2" Daystar leveling kit, which goes on top of the strut. It cost less than the Readylift kit, and free shipping.

There is not a longer shock required with either kit.

If you want to lift the rear 1", you need to get a 1" block. Nothing is replaced, you add what size that you want.

 

Why spend more money than you need to? Look into the Daystar kit (if you want to go in between the strut hat and perch). I ran a TM kit the same way for almost two years with no issues. The Daystar kit is what I run now...same thing...no issues, same product, half as expensive.

 

OOps, I meant to give a link to the Daystar kit, here ya go, $129 shipped. Search and you may find it cheaper.

rough country kit 199$ front leveling kit 1,5 thick(supposed 2,5 lift)

rear block 1,5 and rear shocks...but i suggest 2,5 rear block shocks are a little long

 

I am installing my TM kit tomorrow and I am going to try it in between the perch and the hat. If I don't like that then I will install it inside of the strut to stiffen if up.
