i started with the 2.5'' rough country leveling kit (front only) good kit i liked the product but my front end was a half inch high and it bothered me to no end so i added a 1'' rear block to bring my *** end up a half inch high and i love the stance now.. hope this helps

I did the HellBentSteel 2.5 inch level. I like it so far and it was pretty easy to put on. Really changed the look of my truck

I got a 2" level from Auto Spring and have had 0 issues. I would recomend the Auto Spring Kit or Hell bent steel because there a lot cheaper the the rough country leveling kit and have the same quality.Park your truck on level ground and measue the difference from front to back to determine how much level you need. The general rule of thumb is 04-05 need a 2.5" and 06-08 needs 2" level.
