I got around to putting in my levling kit this weekend. Its a Daystar 2 1/2 inch kit. Install was not bad. Here are some before and after pics.

The install took about 2 hours and that was taking it easy. With this kit you do need longer shocks. Oh and after I had to get an alignment.

looks great man, Also its looks like the front is a tad higher now, Is that right? If so that will suck if you tow something,then the truck will sag in the rear, I did 1.5 inches on mine so when I tow my 18 foot boat the truck is 100% level without sag

Looks good

 

Yeah in the pic's it does seem to be higher in the front and it was right after i put it in. After driving it some and getting the alignment it seemed to be even right with the back, i will take another pic tomorrow and post it to show. I don't mind the front higher than the back, I do tow alot so I was looking into getting a block for the back so it does not sag. The levling kit was more of a cheap way to lift my truck, now I can get some 33x12.50 which is what I have been waiting to get for a long time, however I did put some 35" off of my cousins dodge right after I got the kit on and they fit with no rubbing!

 

yeah I put 33X12.50/s on mine and I love the look, Hey I was going to ask you how do you like the Infinity speakers you added, How much better does it sound then the stock one you replaced?? Also do you have a amp or just the head unit and the new Speaker's??

 

I don't really like the speakers that much. All they seem to be is all highs. I don't know if it because I don't have an amp hooked up to them or if thats just the way they are. I would have thought that the Apline head unit would be enough power to get good sound out of them. I am going to get an amp soon and hook it up and see if it helps at all and if it does not then I will be getting a new set of speakers. What 33x12.50's do you have? How much did you get them for?

 

Oh ok glad I did not buy the infinity's yet then, Let me know how you like them with a amp installed.

As for the tires there are pictures in my gallery nowso take a look and let me now what you think, I got them at Les Schwab's for approx $1,000 out the door, they say DEAN on them but their made by cooper I found out. I really like them allot. I went in there expecting to buy TOYO open country's and they talked me into these for a little bit more, they said I will get more mileage out of them, so I said what the hell and had them put on and did the toyos on our 03 durango.

 

Looks great, definately need some tires now! Looks really good. Cableguy, your truck is really nice too!

 

Hey big blu what kind of a lift do you have and what size tires do you have?
