Call Pro Comp, they will tell you it will result in a stiffer ride.

could be misleading, but in my truck i can guarantee he wouldn't tell the difference. Sure it may be stiffer, but not enough to notice it. I drive down a pretty bumpy road over 2 sets of railroad tracks, i didnt notice a difference at all! but thats just my opinion.

No problem. I'd appreciate the pics, thanks.

Here is a couple of mine with Autosprings and Pro Comp AAl. Taken in AM so a bit fuzzy.

Does the front sit higher or is it just the angle of the driveway?

Angle of driveway, it's on a slope. On level ground looks great.

A lot of those guys aren't being sarcastic. They are just trying to warn the unknowing who don't understand the problems a level kit can cause that it's not the best option.

Is this the sarcasm you're referring to?

Yes, all of those look like they have a leveling kit on them that caused those ball joint failures. There's some sarcasm for you...

So leveling kits don't change the geometry of the UCA at all eh?

I didn't say that at all. I merely stated the obvious that the images you referenced in fact have nothing to do with leveling kits.
