Hell Bent Steel at http://www.fatbobsgarage.com/cart/index.php?p=product&id=323&parent=0

I just installed this leveling kit on my 06 MC CTD. Matter of fact, the new truck photo added to the pics on the above website is my truck. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and you will see that I commented on the ProComp 35x12.50x17's.

As far as the install, I just unbolted the sway bar and the drag link and with the help of a friend we got the springs and spacers in with no spring compressor. Just took it to the shop and had the alignment checked/adjusted. Check out the pic. I love the set up!

Was the allignment off any? I have heard alot of people say that it dont need to be alligned after a leveling kit install, because it is only a couple of inches.

Mine was off a little, I would get it checked if I were you. Better to be safe.

Shouldn't change anything but the steering wheel position. Nothing on the axle steering wise is changing, so no toe/camber/caster issues. Your steering wheel will be a couple spline off counterclockwise so you'll need to recenter it or learn to like it.

I am not sure how he did it, but a friend of mine said he jacked up the front end without supporting the axel and it gave him plenty of room.
