Leveling Kit

I'm thinking of putting a 2" leveling kit on my truck. Does anyone have any cons for this? Will it void my warranty in any way or cause early wear to front end?

I have the 2" Rough Country leveling kit...it was 65 bucks or so and i love it!...will not void warrenty and if you stay under 2.5" of lift with a leveling kit,you shouldnt see any early wear

When i put the leveling kit on my 03,i got the full leveling kit from RC...came with shocks,rear blocks,torsion keys,u-bolts,etc. If i went with just the front leveling kit,i wouldnt of had to get the shocks...So the answer is no if you just get the front kit

Sweet. Since I don't need taller shocks, it looks like I'll be installing a leveling kit a week from today. Next weekend I will be replacing my front hub/bearing assemblies so I'll go ahead and install the leveling kit I've been wanting since I'll already be down there an have everything torn apart. Both of those jobs would require an alignment so I'll do them at the same time and get one alignment. :)


I may need to get those nerf bars sooner than expected...

Is this the kit you have installed?

Most of the kits I keep seeing are $150 to $300 for nothing more than 2 metal rings!!

Sweet. I think I'll go ahead and order it. One last question: how do I tell if I have aluminum control arms or not. The kit comes two ways - for aluminum control arms and for non-aluminum control arms.

Pretty easy!...crawl under your truck and look at them...if they are nice and shiny they are aluminum...if they are black they are non-aluminum

Lies! You tell lies. Everyone knows you can't tell the difference between a stock truck and a leveled truck.
