I got it on monday but haven't installed it yet, It looks great though and came packaged really nice haha. I'll have it installed in a few days and let you guys know how it is as I'm in the middle of doing some work to my truck.

Put one of those on my old man's pickup and it works just as good as my PSC one. Plus it cost about a hundo less then mine at the time....

Mine sure seems to be effected with the level kit. But I can't prove it for sure.

ive found that it is really advisable to put 2 inch longer shocks on the front end when you install the front spacers. the stock shocks work but only have approx 2 inches of stroke left after the lift is installed. so hitting pot holes in the road can be horrendous because the shocks are bottoming out. this is why i believe the $139 leveling kit can ride like hell, its because these kits dont include the $120 in rancho or whatever shock you choose in their kit.

Seems like rather than selling a leveling kit with longer shocks, it would be cheaper to make a kit that rather than a spacer, replaces the shock mount with one that is spaced up for the ride height and offset inside for the shock mount, no?
