Default Level kit installed

I was worried about this because I did it by myself today in the garage. First side took about 90 minutes. Second side took about 40. Not bad at all. I enjoy working on vehicles. It relaxes me. Truck looks way better now. Went with 2.5" instead of 3" and the front is about an inch higher than the back now. I measured before and decided 2.5" would level it. Guess I need to just add an inch in the back now. I will try to put some pics up tomorrow after I get alignment.

It should settle in after a little bit of driving and then it will be level. Mine was 2.75 inches higher in the front so I went with a 3 inch hbs kit and also did it myself. The front sat about 3/4 of an inch higher and now it sits about perfect. Haven't measured in a whole but by lookin at it the front looks just a hair shorter. You really have to pay attention to it though to see it.

Honestly it's not difficult. The only thing I would recommend is being sure to torque everything back to specs. But then everything went smoothly. I did mine in my driveway with a couple of jacks and jack stands so not very difficult. I went with the hbs kit bc I only heard good things about them and was only 70 bucks shipped and all. I haven't had a problem yet and love it. Had it on for about a year and a half now.
