Default Installed 2" Leveling Kit (pics)

Well I finally got the kit installed. Did it myself (and my brother), It was a b*t*h. You have to know, I don't know anything about working on vehicles though. I was able to follow the directions, took about 5 hours.
Hell Bent Steel - 2" leveling kit. Cost me about $75...... Alignment cost about $80 with a tire rotation. I am very happy with it and think it looks pretty good.

Pics are 2 befores then 2 afters.

Since you just got it do you notice any difference in the handling.

Would like to fit a 35X12.50x18 and get the Dale Earnhardt Jr. 18" chrome wheels from tire rack. But still scared to pull the trigger on the 35s. A little rub at full lock is ok, but I don't know if my "a little" and someone elses is the same.

Only raised the front 2". (2" leveling kit from Hellbentsteel.com)
It still seems to be about a half inch lower in the front, but I think that will level out once I get my spray in liner.

Love that blue

You'll be able to fit those tires on the stock wheels, if you want an aftermarket wheel tho you really need to pay attention to the width and backspacing
