Default installed the HBS 3" level ....

hey guys... just wanted to update.. had the daystar 2.5 leveling kit, took it off yesterday and put in the hbs 3" leveling kit and when measuring the spacers side by side the hbs kit was bascailly almost the same size... maybe 3/8 of an inch difference... so i no i probably shouldnt have but i added a washer that was about 1/8 of an inch thick to the spacer. It looks very level now, the truck sits anywhere from 1/4 of an inch to 1/2 inch higher in the front. exactly how i want it.... will post pictures later today.

Also, because i changed the leveling kits out should i get an alignment? Just wanting some input since the height of the truck only changed a small amount.

thanks guys! (anyone want the 2.5 inch level from daystar?)

Lets see some pictures of your truck now. I have been debating on if I should get the 2.5" or 3" HBS level.

anytime you mess with the front suspension the alignment is thrown off. Cheap insurance so not to ruin your $1200+ set of tires
