Question Leveling Kit

Can you guys provide me with some feedback regarding a leveling kit?

Is this one legit?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Auto-...QQcmdZViewItem

Are any of them better than the other?

I'm still new to the forum and the truck as well so all is greatly appreciated.

THANKS!!

So this is one you would install on your own ride? Do you know what it takes to install this one? Is this something I can do easily or will it require some disassembly of front end parts, I noticed it mentions getting a re-alignment afterwards.

Thanks for responding!!

It's not hard to do but would be ALOT easier with 2 people instead of doing it by yourself.

I was origanally going to use the Autospring but my local truck store had the Daystar in stock so I went with it.

If you are mechanically inclined you could do it easily, you will have to remove front suspension components.

Autospring is a good kit and exactly what I had on my truck prior to lifting it. It can be done by yourself, but as Triton said, it would be much easier with a buddy helping out and yes it will require an alignment when complete.

I just put one in Sunday. Went ok once you remove the upper control arm spindle. I was totally freakin out, but i got it. The first side took two hours, the other.....20 minutes! Definitley have a helping hand with you, not something to tackle alone! Good Luck
