I'm looking for a place to level my truck. I have called Dallas Suspension and they want $400 for 2 inch front spacers installed and don't recommend the height adjusting shocks. I also called JR's custom autos in Irving and they want $700 which includes the alignment, which I can get for $40 elsewhere. I'm not too mechanical and can't do this all myself, or else I would. I still haven't completely decided if I'm going with Bilstein 5100's or a spacers. I have read through many of the pages on here and somewhat know what I want, just wanted to talk to the installer about leveling the front and then possibly putting blocks in the back. I know how much the spacers cost, honestly the $700 price tag is crazy, $400 seems reasonable, just not sure especially when they told me they don't recommend the bilsteins when so many people on this forum love them.

IMHO I think Bilsteins are the way to go over spacers, I have them on top setting and they preform great, went on some pretty gnarly back trails in Idaho all last week on my vacation and they were awesome. also body roll when cornering is pretty much eliminated. ride is a little stiffer on top setting but I feel in a good way. I got mine cost and installation around $600.
I have Bilstein 5100's. Truck sits level and rides much better. However, I want another inch of lift and I'm thinking about adding 1" spacers on top of my bilsteins and putting a 1" block in the back. Someone tell me why this is a bad idea. Or a good idea. I know spacers limit up and down travel on the suspension, but 1" can't be that bad
