Default Level Kit Instalation

I havea 3" body lift and I'm looking to put a 2" leveling kit on it.First off can I do this, second if I can, how do I install it? Does the leveling kit put a spacer on the spring coils in the front of my truck?

'03 2wd, so you'd have coil-overs. I haven't done a body with level kit, I know some 4x4 guys who've had it done though, so I'm sure it can be done. You may run into shock length issues and maybe even need some adapters (steering, brake lines, etc.) but these are all readily available parts and a good vendor will know what's needed.
Yes, you'll use coil spacers, as I know the quicklift option is for 4x4's only. The installation is not hard, but you'll need a special tool to compress the coils. Most auto parts stores have one and will rent it to you daily for a nominal fee...
Pick a reputable place to purchase it, one with knowledgeable techs, to make sure you get everything you need...

ok thanks, on average how much would this run me for the whole thing? i figured about $100 for the parts, but what about the labor? i would probally have it profesionally installed, looks like quite a bit of work. Hammerz71....what do you have done suspension and tire wise to your truck, i love how it looks and how it sits!
