yeah its a leveling kit that comes with new coil overs and a-arms along with all the hardware to put it in. while its nice are you really going to put your truck to its limits as far as offroading goes to really need a $2500 leveling kit? the reason it doesnt adress the rear is because its not really a lift kit persay its a leveling kit. if you lift the rear your still going to have the ugly nose down look anyways.
also if you read it right even with this kit you will still need spacers to fit 35x12.5s.
"This kit permits the fitment of 35x12.50x17 tires on 17x8.5 wheels with a backspace of 4.5 inches. It maximizes wheel travel and takes Dodge half-ton performance into the 21st Century" the stock rims are 5.5 backspacing which need 1/4 spacers to fit a 12.5 inch wide tire.

by the way im not knocking it. its a great kit just really expensive. if you need the 12 inches of travel and articulation and wheel hard. then go for it. but if you just want to fit 35s you really just need a leveling kit and some 1/4 spacers. if i was going to pay $2500 for a lift it would be for procomp 6 inch lift installed and done.

KORE is pretty much THE top of the line suspension for Dodge trucks. If you have the cash, do it because you wont find anything better for anywhere near the same price.

The KORE stuff is amazing offroad too, I might add.

I hope they come out with a more extensive kit that would allow the 1500's to play with the big boys. Lighter truck could fly a lot farther with
