Is a 2 inch level enough for this truck?

I did it myself, not too big of a deal...if you have common hand tools like sockets, jack, BFH, I used a prybar alot....and if you go to autozone, oreillys, etc and rent a spring compressor (you pay but they give you your money back when you return it) it would help a ton

You have to get an alignment afterwards...so $250 would be fair install with an installation. If you have a friends and know anything about trucks you can do it

I must've went wrong somewhere..... my 2in kit still left the front close to an inch lower than the rear.... visually speaking of course, I haven't actually measured things.. You can tell from my sig pic

I measured first, it was right at 3in difference. I wanna say 36 and 39in maybe? Hell, I measured it about, oooooohhhh, 4-5months before I got the kit, haha. I just havent measured it since, where I park the truck in the front of the house isn't 'level', and I keep forgetting the tape when I leave
