And I have the Daystar 2.5" kit. I'll let you know how it is after I get it installed. May do it this weekend.

For a tuner I'd definitely recommend custom tunes. Try powerhungryperformance.com, when I finally get the money and a few more mods down the road that's what I plan on getting. If you're sticking with canned tunes though I'd say edge, or even an sct flashpaq, I've heard alot of good about them too

I too am about to get a leveling kit. I've been looking at the Hellbent kit as well. My question is are the steel or aluminum kits any better than the composite ones? My next question is 2" or 2.5"? I DO NOT want the front higher than the rear. That's one thing I can't stand. I'd rather have a slight rake in the rearend.

Measure your rear tire from the center of your rim to the top of your wheel well base and then you'll see what you need for the front

Ok, I went with the HBS 2.5 kit and 295/70/18 Nitto Trails on Black XD Rockstars. I was going to install everything this weekend but my stock lugs ended up being stuck. Had to heat them all up and hit them with the 3/4" impactor with 1100 ft/lbs. Installing everything next weekend. Pics to come.

Go with the HBS 2"

I measured the fender wells on my truck and my front was 4" lower!
So I bought the 2.5" kit and the ford dealership installed it and aligned it. Now it ever so slightly has california squat. Probably 1/2" lol. Barely noticable, but I like it. And I want to clear 35x12.5r18 trail grapplers.
