I was told that the leveling kit with the lift puts too much angle on the CV shafts, which could cause the to slip out of gear. On my Tahoe I originally had the torsion bars cranked up and an add-a-leaf on the rear. I put the BDS lift on and it came with an add a leaf, the guy who put the lift on apparently didn't realize it and installed both. So I have been to several shops asking how to bring the front end up and will leveling kits work and the most answers I recieve is it puts too much angle on the CV shafts. Thats all I can tell you if it helps
