leveling kits

If you install levelling spacers you should also consider pushing the lower control arm eccentric bushings forward, adding an adjustable track bar to center the axle and drop blocks for the sway bar, in order to maintain the stock geometry as much as possible. three or more inches of spacer would also call for a drop pitman. Ideally, longer control arms and shocks would also be added for as little as 2" lift.
This is just a matter of doing it right. Many have installed just spacers and called good, running for thousands of miles with no problems. But doing that will however induce some handling and accelerated wear issues, normally resulting in early onset of death wobble. Spacers alone = DW starter kit.

That would be attributed to the "accelerated wear" issue I mentioned. Probably wore out the ball joints in half the time it would have taken otherwise. I hope my shocks and springs wear down quick now anyway, so I can replace them with proper 2" lift springs and the longer Bilstein shocks. Maybe go with a full kit front and rear from Kore, Carli, Lorenz, etc...
