Those are nice. What was your bill on those lifts? Do they drive nice? Any other mods while installing the 6 inch lift? I bet, for some reason, if I just level my front, I wont be to far away from 6 inches. And by the way, what do I need for a leveling kit? What parts would complete the kit (a good kit)?

If you want to level the front and keep the same ride then dont do spacers. Get some lift spindles that lower the wheel bearing hub assembly lower on the spindle so you get more height and keep the same stock suspension setup. You wont even need longer shocks.

You can buy lift spindles from www.airbagit.com or HERE for the same $300. I would certainly do spindles first over spacers.

You can buy those same spindles for $270 shipped on Ebay. HERE is a link to them

For the lift spindles it says that they are for dual piston calipers, do I have those? And it says I recommended extended break lines, True?

Do the lift spindles make it ride worse (more stiff)??

Agreed. Spindles are FIRST choice and will not change suspension geometry and therefore will ride the same. When you add taller springs or spacers to compress the coil more, thats when you get a more stiff of a ride.

And again to clarify, with spindles you dont need to change to longer shocks whereas with taller springs or spacers you will need to.

For the record, what year is your truck?
