Pros - Able to fit larger tires, and gets rid of the fugly rake. Cons - "Technically" causes components to wear faster.(You will be completely fine with only a 2" level, actual issues begin at 3"). You will definitely need an alignment, id see if the shop can install it and do an alignment at the same time.

What Golfer said... Check out Hell Bent Steel before you buy that ebay lift. The HBS is only a few bucks more and a better product. Super nice guys too,great customer service. hellbentsteel.com Good luck man!

I'm running 20's with 33s...i didnt install it because i was worried my new tires would rub. I did it for the look and its awesome. Your jaw will drop when you see your truck for the first time after the install! Looks like a completely different machine! and get the alignment right away like everyone else said!! because i waited a few months not thinking much of it and wore down a new set of tires...luckily it was only the front.

10-4 boys i think im going to do it. But just outta curiosity when i hook up a trailer will the front end sit up. Bcuz right now when i hook a trailer up it sits level becuz of the factory rake.

It has the potential to do that now. It all depends on how much weight your towing. If you do it often you still have options. you can add helper bags in the rear and air em up when towing.

I have a 2" leveling kit on mine as well. It definitely squats when pulling my Mustang. I moved the car back a couple feet after I took that pic, hoping that it would help lessen the squat... it didnt... lol

I dont tow a whole lot but when i do its always a nice size load and seems like i always end up towing at night, not during the day no no no how convenient would that be.
