2" leveling kit installed.
Waiting on a camber kit to get it aligned properly tomorrow.

Do you need a camber kit to align properly after leveling? There isn't enough adjustment in the stock parts?

This. Mine aligned no problem with a 3" level and no additional parts.

Amazing what a difference 2"s make. A little meatier tire and it will be perfect.

Technically, yes - but there are ways to do it without - it just involves more muscle and time. Camber kits are more user friendly.

I am about to install an Autospring 2 inch level and they claim only the toe will need adjusting.

That looks awesome ! I would also think a camber kit is not necessary .

Toe was the only thing out of whack on mine.

I had to drop the lower arms to get the strut out, and back in. Couldn't get the bolts back into the right spot, they are a bit inboard. I took it in to get aligned, and they recommended a camber kit, which makes sense to me. It makes the adjustment easier. Had I not dropped the lower arms, it could probably have just had the toe set and been good. The camber kit doesn't give more adjustment, it just gives you a way to set and control how much you adjust it, making it easier to do.
