RE: 05 level kits?
They do recommend getting a front-end alignment after. I haven't felt any pulling or anything, but I do plan on getting it checked soon.
It wasn't too hard to do. The instructions Silver posted are the same I had. The only hard part was getting the spindle assembly up to the upper A-arm after I put the new spacer on. I didn't have any help so I was using three jacks at once to maneuver it together. I would suggest doing one side at a time and leave the opposite tire on while you get the one side done. The tire will keep the truck from falling of the jack stands, plus it will keep weight on your side which helps getting the upper a-arm and spindle together. It seems difficult but after I was done it didn't seem too bad. Well worth it though. It put more weight on the back, so it doesn't seem to spin as much around corners and stuff. I also have a plow for it and it was bottoming allot until I put the level kit in. 2" doesn't sound like allot, but it did help.
