Default Leveling kit

Hello everyone I just purchased a leveling kit 2 inch front, 1 inch rear from Supreme Suspensions. Anyone try this company out yet? I would love to hear your feedback and experience. From the research I did this is the only kit dedicated to either the 2wd or the 4WD Dakotas and this kit includes shims to help correct the diff angle.

They are all pretty much the same thing. If you are 4x4, expect some premature wear on the front suspension parts. Hardest part of the install will be removing the lower strut bolt. Get an alignment after the install. While you are in there, you might consider replacing the front struts if you have not already. OEM ones are crap. Go with Rancho or Monroe. Not much else out there. Do some searching in this section. Tons of threads on the joys of installing spacers on these trucks.

Check out this thread, you might pick up a helpful tip for the install.

And definitely get some new struts as stated above. (Rancho for the win!)
