If I install the coilovers for my truck is there any need for the leveling kit or do you need both to achieve the same look?

Just coilovers will lift your truck. Some max out at 2" of lift and some have up to 3.5" of lift. I'm removing my 2" spacer when I put the coilovers in

Forgot to ask. At 2" lift, how are your ball joint/upper control arm and CV angles? Did you notice any significant decline in MPG? Thanks in advance.

If you could report back after your coils are installed, I'd greatly appreciate it. Probably going BOSS kit too eventually, but I'd liked to know my ball joints and CVs won't hate me and I'll still be able to align it as normal. And that my gas mileage won't tank TOO much.

right now i have about 2.25" of actaul lift in front, and the cv's barley look stressed. almost same as oem. there is more angle to the UCA but nothing significant. i dont think another 3/4" will affect much, but i will report once i get them installed. it drives like oem so far, and im most impressed with these tires. very good in snow, and they look even better with the spacers installed. since the body of the tuck doesnt cast a shadow over the wheel, they actaully look even meatier and larger.
