so .. let me just clear this up..

do you stack the spacer and the bushing that was on the coil to begin with?

in other words, is this the order?... coil, leveling kit spacer, then stock bushing

 

Yeap.

 

So how has it been going? How is the upper control arm balljoint and everything else with the kit installed? Everything holding up good?

 

I'm pretty rough on my truck suspension wise. The roads in Louisiana are very crappy, with huge potholes and 2" recessed drain covers. I have had my spacers in for over a year and a half and had no problems. I never have a proper alignment of course, but seems like the control arms/bushings/etc. are all fine! I'm no mechanic but I've taken it in for maintenance and stuff several times and no problems found

 

another quick question.. if i put a 3" block out back.. wont i then need new longer shocks for the rear!? or is it not the same circumstance as the the front shocks, and the travel?

 

3" block? Holy crap, I have a 3" spacer (I measured it 2 1/2" but the kit was a 3") and a 1.5" block out back gave me a raked look. I wanted that, of course, and a 1" block would give you a level look.

You do understand that a 3" block in the back will make your truck look like a 2wd 2500 with the cummins huh? Haha looks like a lineman in a 4pt stance, about to fall over. And yea you will definitely need new shocks, I honestly need them with just a 1.5" block

 

ya thats a good point.. i dont mind the stock rake, just would look better if it was a few inches taller.. so thats why i thought if i did my level which will end up being about 2.5-3".. then a block the same size would keep the stance, and just lift the truck up a few inches... but i think im just going to go with a 2" now that i think about it..lol

are you 2wd?

 

yup I am 2wd...get a 1" block and I think you will be happy...I mean, they are so cheap that you could get both and try them out

2"spacer=level
2"spacer+1"block=rake
2 1/2"spacer+1"block=ALMOST level
2 1/2"spacer+1 1/2" block=rake

and don't forget shocks! you can get about 1/2" extra with taller shocks

 

do you mean for the rear, with the shocks? or will it lift the front up a little more as well?

 

the front also, if you dont it will not let the spring rise to the fullest extent
