2.5" level. Hell Bent Steel though. No complaint from me as far as the ride. You may loose a little "road feel" but i added larger tires at the same time so.... Glad i installed it.

Those HBS leveling kits are cheaper than Rough Country's. Any difference in quality comparing the polyurethane spacer found in the RC vs the HBS aluminum billet style? What size wheels did you put on it, NortheastAL?

I know the HBS kits get great reviews. There's no poly that will ever break down. Been 2 years with no issues. Maybe poly provides a better ride, but not sure. I'm running 17x10's wrapped with 285/70's i believe. (33x11.5)

I got a 3' front and back one by superior suspensions... I wouldnt do it unless you get a cow catcher like me or your upper control arms are gonna hit the spring all the time. Ive seen some trucks with the 2' barely tapping enough to make an indention. My bumper leveled mine back out a good bit. Before i got it on there it was scratching the metal on the spring here and there. Couldnt hear it but you can tell by looking.



I wouldn't go over 2.5 if i were you. My wider rims also helped stabalize the ride a bit.
