I have put 15,000 miles on my truck since the level and tires are Goodyear silent armor and they are wearing fine. No noise from front en and doesn't pull.

I will post pictures this weekend. I don't have any pics after the lift..

I put a 2" leveling kit on from fat bobs and they lined it up no problem. The mechanic did say that leveling kits any taller than that will wear out your cv boots prematurely because of the steep angle, but that it just his opinion I guess.

Default leveling kit problems

I recently bought a HEAVY METAL 3.5" leveling kit for my 04 super crew. Installed it and took it into a shop for alignment, they told me they couldn't align my truck properly because my control arms were at such an extreme angle. There is probably 1/4" between control arm and coil. Anybody else ever heard of this?

Thanks
