Default Leveling Kit

Finally installed the leveling kit and put my new wheels and tires on today.

It also has my stock wheels in the bed so it's a Lil lower than it is when I took them out the bed.

It rubbed on hard turns to either side. Turns out it was rubbing on the fender flare after it 90's back in towards the motor. Just took the drimmel and buzzed of about three inches of the fender flare. No more rubs and u can't even see that I cut anything

this here shows my issue with front leveling kits....put anything in them in the back or tow and you are squatting the rear and shooting headlights to the sky.

if you were to get the blocks (RC) or AAL or something....would this still be an issue?

good looking truck though.

Looks great man. Did you do it yourself? If so, how difficult was it? I'm going to be doing it soon to my 08'. I'll be doing an HBS 2.5" kit with a set of bilstein OEM replacement shocks. PS, I actually like the pre runner look of a squatted rear suspension, but that's just me.
