    Default Truxxx Leveling Kits?

    Has anyone ever worked with or heard anything about the leveling systems from Truxxx? My dad and I have been looking into them because they claim that they maintain the stock ride, but I haven't ever even heard of them before him. Any input?

    they make good kits, just a matter of u findin what u want, just about all the kits are gonna do the same, if u want a spacer kit the truxxx is a good kit, me personally i like the strut replacement kits, superlift makes one, also rancho and bilstein . good luck

    My truck has a truxxx 3inch suspension lift. Its been going strong for over a year. The only problem that i have heard of from torsion key lifts is that they wear out ball joints. though my ball joints have been fine.

    I have a '99 half ton 4wd, but it is the old body style, as it is not a Silverado. My dad, who is also looking at that kit has an '01 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton 4wd. He has looked at them for a while, and says that that one is the only one he has seen that advertises that they maintain the stock ride. Any input on that aspect of leveling kits? Do some ride better than others?

    Thanks for your input everyone, I appreciate it!

    About how much do the strut replacement kits run? Do they ride better or are they more durable than spacer ones??

    the replacement strut kits do run a lil more but i think they ride a lil smoother cause when u run a bigger tire which is heavier u want a strut that valved stiffer to make up for the added weight of the tire, u have a old body style truck, so i guessin u have torsion bars so the strut kit aint gonna work
