So after all the measureing I figured 2.5 up front and 1.5 in the rear. Pluse the extra inch from the shocks. Makes the perfect lift.

That's what I'm looking forward "a perfect lift"!!!! Even I know I'm in the 4X2 world...
Did u have any problems with a cracked rear block?

How's the comfort ride now?

BTW I can't tell by the picture but it seems a little bit higher in the front?!

No I planned to have the Struts replaced, and since most the same steps are taken to install the leveling kit, I got the struts done aswell.
Its alot firmer in the front with the new struts, the leveling kit shouldnt change the "ride" a whole lot if the struts are not replaced.

I got about 2"-2.5" out of the front between the 1.5" Kit and new struts.
I also installed Monroe Load-Adjusting Shocks in the rear and it came up about 1"

i think you saw my post. i just did the 2" leveling kit on ebay and it was only 50 bucks. it sits perfectly level. so if you did a 1 or 1.5 inch block in the back it would sit nicely. but 160 is too much. you should be able to get it all for about 100-120 at the most.

$165.95 for the 2"LK
$10 for S&H in the USA
$180 for shipping to Cancun (UPS)
Plus I have to pay for the Custom's Fee before I get it

I think I'm gonna let it go... Too bad is not for sale in Cancun!

So I have to buy tires... What size should I go with no LK?
I don't wanna stay with the OEM 265/65R17
