Default New level kit installed!

All I can say is WOW! Why didn't I do this sooner!!! I feel like i'm finally driving a "truck!"

My second reaction, was I thought my steering felt loose, but, didn't pull to the right nor the left...wierd! I then took the truck in for an alignment, totally corrected the problem; night and day! Love it, love it, love it!!!

I went with TopGunCustoms leveling kit 2.5, sit's perfectly level... No vibration, no bottom out on the OEM shocks, factory ride totally retained!

Got to say thanks to this forum! You guided me in the right direction...

2007 QC Hemi 4x4 Silver, Thunder Road Package.

No, they are a busy, busy place. So I ended up going to this shop down the road. Very good suspension place and they charged me 55.00 for the install; sweet price! Then I went to sears for the alignment 69.00 + 13.00 to rotate tires and out the door, with minimal change to the alignment.

So far, been out cruising around and feeling like the big guy on the block! lol... I love the broad stance it has now, very pleased. However, I did notice a 2mpg loss on highway and city... Don't know how common this is, any of you?

Now, I can't wait to throw on my nerf bars and Hellwig sway-bar I have just sitting in the spare bedroom...

Oh, and finally, Redbeardmcg, great post on your install of your leveling kit! Your post is what sold me on the 2.5 leveling kit, along with your pics.. That sold the deal for me!

Thanks everyone..

Hey, no problem, get some pics!! As far as the MPG goes, I didn't notice any decrease except for the fact that I burned half a tank of gas driving around after I put it in
