Default how many miles have you driven on your leveling kit????

Hey Guys,

I have been contemplating leveling the truck, but I really don't want to deal with any problems that have come from leveling the truck. I just wanted to see how many PROBLEM FREE miles you have driven on your truck since leveling it.

Thanks

Greg

30k...get your alignment done... i do believe i have a ball joint going but not sure. it makes a slight noise when the wheel is cranked in reverse (i do have 125K so it might not be due to the leveling kit). By the way is the 3" kit

Subscribed! I'm looking to level mine too, but I think I'm going to go with the Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks.

I've had about a dozen trucks with leveling kits on them, including this one that has 71,000 on the pro, and NEVER had a single problem with a single one.

i wouldnt advise a 3".. a lot of guys think that the 3s cause problems. but you definitely need your alignment done. i put one on my truck last week and havent done the alignment yet. my steering wheel feels shacky, the tire sits at an angle, and the steering wheel is crooked. but im hoping all of these things will be fixed with alignment
