Haha, definately getting the level kit now. Going with the HBS kit. From the research I've done, all makes and models that have gone with this kit all say the same: Great product, especially for the price.

SO, of course, theres a question somewhere in here. Ive been searching this on our forum, and have found that 05-under models need to replace the shocks, but the 06-08's are ok with the stockers. BUT, most info I found was on the 2wd trucks. I was just curious if this still applies to the 4wd's too?

Also, just for giggles, wheres the best place to start looking for shocks? I understand that 2in longer ones are better, and according to Hammer's opinion, If I can't afford the Bilsteins, go with the Rancho 9000's (I think I saw that in some thread anyways). If I can find some for a decent price, I'll do it, whether its necessary or not. But I can't really foot too much of the bill right now, my Mom is buying the level for me for the B-day.

Again, I know this is but I get confused when searching these threads, get all the 2wd/4wd 05-under/06-08 info mixed up. Thanks, again, in advance fellas

 

yes you should change shocks with th 4wd. it wont hurt if you wait but longer shocks are always needed if you do any kind of suspension work. I just leveled mine out and will probably get shocks sometime within the next 2 weeks. also make sure whoever puts the level kit on aligns you truck as well.

 

Oh yeah, alignment is a must, Lol. And I just wasted that money on one this week, lol. I didn't quite expect to get the level done this soon, BUT, its done now, and gonna get done again, lol.

If I say Lol one more time, send me an e-bullet, Ill reload again

 

oh and if you are down for a drive, a bunch of us NC guys and at least another VA dude are going offroading at uwharrie in april. you should make the trip down. probably be about 4 hrs for ya

 

Ya come join us at the GTG, and just incase you didn't know, when you get it alligned make sure they don't do it with a computer. It will allign it to factory specs and with the leveling kit on your allignment will be off. Just FYI...

 

Ive heard Uwharrie was a pretty badazz spot. I used to wheel with a buncha boys in our "club", they all been there. If I can come up with the gas funds, Ill be there, FOR SURE!

Thanks for the alignment info, didnt know that specific info.

 

i'm sure we dont have to tell you to post pics when done... you seem to be on top of that

 

I still haven't found out exactly whether or not my 07 has to have the shocks replaced. I mean, if it can wait till the funds are more together, that'd be awesome. Then I could spring for the better ones, whichever those might be. If I have to get'em now, they might be the advanced auto special haha.....

 

i dont think you need them... from what i've heard only the torsion bar guys need them.. even so, you will be ok for awile if they top out...
