I was thinking about leveling my 06 1500 QC. But, its our only hehicle so I'm kind of rethinking that. Then I wanted to go from 17's to 20's, but those are some expensive tires. I would just love to have full wheelwells and look good and agressive. Just meaty and wide. Where I live you have to go over a little hump to get into our driveways and my bull bar hits if I back out straight. Its a real pain.

I leveled mine right after I got it (bought it used) and I love the leveled look. It looks so much better than the "hunting dog" look. Here are a couple pics of mine before and after with the stock size tires.

You should get either the bilstein adjustable shocks or the rancho quick lifts. The quick lifts are a complete strut &coil assembly. You just pop out the old one and put in the new fully assembled unit. Way easy to do. It only adds about 1.5 to 2" max but will allow you to run 35" tires on 20s or whatever you want. This is the best way to ensure everything suspension wise stays in a safe range. If you have the original factory struts still they might be due for a change anyway. Mine blew out at 30k miles on my 06.

If it's your only vehicle, keep Mama happy. If she ain't happy with your mods, YOU won't be happy with your mods (or other aspects of life)...
