Default New here and need a lot of help!!!!

Ive got a new 2010 4x4 and im going crazy trying to decide wich leveling kit to get!!! The only thing is i dont want the front end ending up higher than the rear! right now im looking at the rough country 2.5" leveling kit with the 1" rear blocks and perf. 2.2 shocks! can anyone help me out?!?!


Oh and i was also wondering if it would affect the roll stability control at all?!

I went with the 2" hell bent steel leveling kit and love it. Truck is completely level. Kit cost $70 and paid local tire shop $249 to install
which included the front end alignment. 2010 fx4

Hey Mikey, if you go with the 2.5 leveling kit then you should install the 3" rear block not 1". You dont want to stack blocks. If you dont want to mess with the rear then just install a 2" kit. Thats what I have and it sits almost perfectly level. Hope this helps.

Ditto on what gatorgibson said.... I went with HBS 2 inch kit and love it. My kit was about the same and paid about $280 to install and align.
Posted on another forum but here they are: 1st pic is before level, 2nd is after level. It sits perfect, level or just under when it is on level ground, definitely not nose up which I was avoiding as well
