i have a 2.5 inch leveling kit in the front. it is a little nose high when the bike is back there but not too bad. my bike isnt that heavy though . its right around 300lbs with a full tank. im planning on towing my dads boat this summer alot because he sold his truck for a cube van. so i want the air helpers so i dont sag too much in the rear.

yes the megacab is running the 2500 suspension just with thinner coils up front. you know i loaded my truck bed with about i don't know, will say 400lbs of sand and there was no sag in it. i dang sure wouldn't go to top gun customz to buy a leveling kit for almost $500. that is freaking crazy. I got my kit for less than $100 w/ shipping.

thats why i havent put my leveling kit on either, i have the leveling kit and helper springs. its just my bed is empty more than its full and i dont want the ride to be crap. but i also dont want the nose high when hauling. which is why i was never big on leveling kits period, trucks are made rear up for a reason, hauling and handling.

Overall, not too shabby though.
thanx.

rssjib they are seeling the topguncustomz.com 2.5 steel spacers for 479.99 for your truck right now you should get them. dont get the daystar urethanes. youll be better off with the steel ones.
thanx..
