Just installed a 2.5 inch leveling kit from Hell Bent Steel. Install was pretty easy and it went back together pretty easy as well, didnt have any left over parts!! haha. I had to rent a spring compressor from Advance Auto but other than that just basic hand tools, 2 jack stands and 2 bottle jacks! :choochoo:

Just an fyi if your willing to take the top control arms loose its fairly easy to install one of those without a spring compressor also.

I used two ratchet straps to compress the springs and jacked the opposit side of the axle up. A little dangerous but it got the job done. I still got 10 fingers.

i tried a ratchet strap (1"), barely even compressed the spring.. haha I am glad you have 10 fingers left!!
when compressing the spring with the compressors, i thought i was going to break the tools!! while i was tightening with my impact, I thought, well it's either going to break and hit me, the truck, or my boat... however it never broke but it sure did bend... :c:
