Default Leveling Kit

Hey guys Im been curious about the leveling kits our there.

Rough Country has them for 100 bucks and sky jacker 200 bucks, I had a buddy with same truck as me except an 01 that he got the sky jacker for and he broke his track bar on the highway. He now has an 03 adjustable track bar. Ive heard that one company has a leveling kit with an adapter for the track bar have any of you heard of it??? and Im lookin at 1,5'' to 2'' kits I dont want the cali lookin lift where the front end sits higher than the rear. Appreciate the help

Paul

I dont think I have seen them sell together. But you should be able to pick up an adjustable trac bar for a couple hundred bucks. They make a HUGE difference if your front end is raised at all

I would also recommend longer lower control arms to center the axle again. I have a Rancho leveling kit, it came with spacers, lower control arms and 4 shocks for $500. If I were to do it again I would go with full springs like the KORE leveling kit and add control arms.

spacers would work or full spring really dont care or see the difference in them. Gettin longer controls arms proably wont be a bad Idea but I dont see how raising it 1.5'' to 2'' would hurt em...

The ride quality will be much better with springs over spacers.

No kidding! Compress the springs with the spacers and your teeth fillings want to fall out.
