What is a good size leveling kit to get? I've seen em on ebay & they're really not that expensive. Installation costs would really be that big of a deal. Some of people from the TN chapter of Ford Truck World said if I ever got a lift kit they would help me put it on.

Most would recommend 2 or 2.5 inches and would say not to go to the 3 inch lift because is causes undue stress on the front suspension that could cause trouble down the road a bit.

the concensus is 2" if not installing a brush guard and 2.5 if you are. the 3" is too bad for suspension angles. there are ALOT of members here with leveling kits.

Hmmm I think I'll go with the leveling kit for now. That way if I buy one of those with my income taxes I can still afford to get a Glock too lol.

I already have a 9mm lol. It's only a Highpoint 9mm, but it's still mine. It's always nice to hear my fiance refer to it as "her gun" bwahahahaha!

I only have 1 handgun, a Taurus .357, nickel plate, black rubber handgrips.
Otherwise, the other 4 guns are rifles. 30-06, 30-30, .50 caliber inline, break-action black powder rifle and a 12 gauge, bolt-action Marlin shotgun.

The last 4 all being used for my pursuit of deer meat.

That could do it!
I am shooting a 1 ounce, .50 caliber sabot slug(my barrel is rifled) and the
box says they fire at 1750 feet per second. When I was sighting it in, it
was kickin my butt!
