Default Alright...

Well, a few things came up and I wasn't able to afford my leveling kit...so I moved on and wanted to know if it would be hard to make "dual" exhaust for my truck with s/i d/o on my own, with just parts from AutoZone or somewhere of the like? Any and all help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

IMO it would be more costly to setup a dual exh than it would be to level the front end of the truck.

How much are you guys thinking it costs? Everywhere in town here, the cheapest it gets is $470 and that's W/O installation...maybe they all just overcharge...

I can't seem to find a good leveling kit that cheap, and I don't really know if I have to tools to put it on myself. Yours is a 2wd right? What kit did you get? Where did you get it at?

Okay, so just the 2.5 inch spacer? Why would you change it to the 2 inch if you could? Is the ride TERRIBLE? If so, would new shocks or something else help with that? I really appreciate the help on here guys.

The ride is somewhat terrible. Not like horrible, but bad enough to where I would sacrifice height for ride. And no, nothing will help. Trust me, I would have done it. You will need new shocks with that probably or at least shock extension brackets.
