So today me and eghead installed the 2.5" hell bent steel level kit on my truck. Pretty cut and dry installation for the most part, just make sure you have a 30mm DEEP WELL socket, 2 jacks, good sized pry bar, and a impact gun is almost a necessity putting the tie rods and the upper control arm back on.

Heres some pics before the install.

I will be installing the Ready Lift 3" block in the rear after the holidays. Eghead has a lot of during the install photos and the after tape measure heights he will post soon.

So what do you guys think?

Thanks to this forum, toofancy and I started talking and decided to hook up and install his 2.5" Hellbent Steel leveling kit together. The front height went from 37" to 39.75". The rear height went from 39.5" to 40". It was a good time, and the truck came out great. Here are some more pics; you can really tell the difference in the first two pictures on the improved stance. Now I am jealous and can't wait to get my Ranch QuickLifts!

Good work dude. I love it when someone puts the measurements in as well. I understand you can't do it all at once. I will be doing the same as you. One step at a time. It will look sweet once you get the blocks and bigger tires. How did you hear about Nitto coming out with more sizes. I know they recently released a few more new ones. Still hard to find and pricier than the ones they had around for a while.

never mind my question. just went to nitto website saw the new tires coming out next month. My bad
