I went buy the lift/tire shop here in College Station today and was quoted $464 for a 2.5" "performance" leveling kit installed with alignment as well. No clue if performance is a brand or if he was just trying to make it sound good to try and sell it. When I asked what kind of level kit as in spacer, adjustable(bilsteins, rancho), etc all he said was performance and was pretty short with me. Anyways, my main question is if $464 is a good out the door price for the product or if I would be better off buying the kit and doing it myself and getting the alignment done and a shop?

i know next to nothing on these things, but that sounds way higher than i remember hearing in the past.

Don't walk away, RUN!!! That's ridiculous, there is nothing performance about a level or lift kit, your just changing ride height.


I leveled my truck for $20.

That's what I figured, I did a double take when he first said the price.

$20.00???? Did you use a bunch of hockey pucks????.... Lol... J/k

But seriously, can you tell us what you did and used? Any pics?

No way! You can buy a good leveling kit off eBay for $50 or under. You need about 3 hours of yours and a buddies time. You don't need any special tools just make sure you have the right size of sockets, an air impact and a torque wrench.

Thats what it cost me for Bilstein leveling shocks OTD at Desert Rat.... Seems way high for just pucks.

If your referring to my post above about the pucks, I was just joking and teasing Mr. Rnlcomp.

Yeah I'm now leaning towards 5100s on all 4 with the adjustables up front or rancho quick lift for leveling and just doing it myself
