Default Which one Daystar or ProRyde Level Kit

Hey all been a while on here. I'm looking at a couple Leveling kits and need some advice on which one to go with. I'm looking at the Daystar 2"-2.5" coil spacer Kit. I read/saw on here with the install by someone. And there is the ProRyde Adjustable system which says it adjusts from 2" to 3 Inches. Thereis a shop near here that will install the kit with a front end alignment for around $350. I'm looking to put on 33-35 inch tires. Anyone use eirth kit? Any thoughts would help out.

Thanks H-

I can't speak specifically to those kits, but I can tell you that I have the Bilstein leveling shocks and they are a huge improvement. I got the front up about 2-2.5in and now have Mud Rover 35x12.5x17s on Granite Alloys and have never had any rubbing or issues.

I found the Bilstein are really good priced and you can get the matching rears really cheap as well. The expensive side of them is the labor for installing them. (That is why I did it myself with 2 buddies)

Struts were not introduced until the '06 4x4, so even if he has a 4x4, he can't use the leveling struts.

Is your truck 4x4 or 4x2?
The Daystar coil spacers are for 4x2 trucks, and the ProRyde kit is for '06+ 4x4 with struts.

Yea it really depends if youre 2wd or 4x4. But like Brandon said with an 05 you can do leveling struts such as the Bilstein 5100s. If you're 4x4 though you can just crank your torsion bars to get a free 2 inch of lift up front but your CV angle will increase unfortunately
