Default leveling kit in CT

Hi everyone,
I have a used 06 King Ranch super crew and love it. I'm interested in a leveling kit, not sure if I need a 2 or 2.5 inch kit.
Are there any shops in Ct that do reasonable installs on leaveling kits?
thanks for the help

The Driving Image in Southwick MA is a pretty good place. Haven't been there in a few years but they did my level install on my old Chevy. My '05 XLT has a 2.5", recommend that.

Sup man, see you from Berlin , I lived in Newington, now out in Hebron. Which there's a place in Colchester called Truck Toyz. I go there with my 8" lift and 35" tires and they make me look small lol. Though I haven't gone to them for any work. Prob a good 45 minute drive for you. Sorry I don't know any other place personally.

I would recommend 2 inch autospring for your 06. 2.5 may leave you nose high. The 04/05 require more of a level to get level.

I cam answer that, a level is a pretty basic thing as far as mechanical skills required. I have put 2 on myself with a jack and hand tools. There are also many how tos out there on it as well.

I had a friend do mine, look pretty simple and I'm not handy at all lol. I looked into one club but they were all jeeps and they said my truck would be destroyed ( as they showed off their damage). I go to VT and hit class 4 trails, hit or miss though. I'm putting together a map of what's good and what's not lol. Though I'm thinking of just calling it quits. Perfect fit for trucks but the branches are def getting to it. I just waxed them which you can't see them now unless look directly on at an angle (nothing deep).

Definitely an install you could do, I did mine with a friend and the extra pair of hands was a big help

Yea the level kit is pretty easy to install yourself...I get my parts from a shop in Ellington, CT called Valley Truck and Offroad. The owners name is Brent Moser and he gets real good deals on parts. He deals with Zone/BDS suspension and can install anything as well.
