Default 2.5 inch Leveling kit installed in 3 hours

because im that awesome

check it out



wasnt even that hard and i save 265 dollars on labor. it took two guys but it was easier than i expected. im a little worried about the tie rod ends but im prepared to replace them if they tear up. everything else went together nice. i am gonna have the alignment checked before i drive it very much though. it feel like it goes down the road great but idk if its within spec of not. we will see.

Time for some bigger tires! Looks sweet though. I like it better than the lowered look.

Also, make sure you take it to the dealer to get it aligned if possible. You can try local shops, but I know a few others including myself have had trouble with them actually getting the alignment right. I took mine to the dealer after my shop tried aligning it and the dealer said the toe was way off. It was worth the $60 at the dealer; now my alignment is dead on.
