I put the pro comp kit on the front. after that I loaded my honda foreman in the bed and knew that the air bags were a must. I would highly recommend air bags if you plan to do any towing or hauling after a leveling kit. I cant stand having the rear of my truck squat down....

I usually just put a small atv in the bed and haul the other's on the trailer.

I know exactly what's going to happen, after it gets leveled my 18" s are going to look small lol! There's just no way new wheels are in my near future. If my truck looks anything near yours paw paw I'd be happy with it.

A one inch taller tire makes a big difference in look's on these truck's. Also your LT rated tires are much better for towing and that's what most member's put on. That truck you have look's great too!!

Thx bud, wasn't sure if I'd like the extra chrome pkg it came with since coming from an all blacked out dodge sport, but it's actually not to bad. Have been lurking at some threads where guys have changed out chrome grills for black just for kicks.

Well finally gave into temptation and called my mechanic and gave him the go ahead today to slap that level kit on this Monday. Done about as much research as I could and came up with only one conclusion. Either you like the damn leveling kits or you don't lol! Seriously though about 80% of folks on here love them and never had any issues. Plus I took a still pic of my truck as it is now and then jacked her up 2" and took another still pic. All I can say is Badass. Will post the before and afters on Monday.
