RE: 2" leveling kit on 4x4
I got mine on e-bay from a company called Hell Bent Steel. I checked the price and believe it or not, I got it for like $70 or so dollars on e-bay, and directly from the site was over $100.
I picked up a spring compressor kit from Auto Zone today (nice of them to have this deal), and I'll do it this evening when the wife gets home. These came with installation instructions and after looking my truck over, I have a pretty good plan of attack. I'll try to get some photos and post,,,,, hopefully it goes smoothly.

got them on there about 2~3 months ago. they are the ATS flares and I got them off e-bay for $470 painted and ready to install (I had to pay tax because the company is in CA which made the final price higher).
on the spacer install... I didnt have to remove anything other than the sway bar links... the jacks and compresser did the trick.

O.K., got the spacers in last night. THE SWAY BAR LINKS ARE UR KEY TO AGGREVATION,,,, yes, they definately had to be disconnected. All in all it wasn't a bad install, of course I remembered why I hate mechanic work, lol. Looks pretty good, I'm happy with it. I took a couple of pics, but i'm still trying to download them here, this site does not like my Kodak software program.

cool, cant wait to see them. download your pics to the hard drive and use irfanview to re-size them. it can be found at www.irfanview.com remember you have a max of 500kb to upload so if your doing 5 pics, each pic should be less than 100k.
