New to trucks need help
So im buying my first truck at the end of this month when i go home on leave...its an 05 supercab and i wantted to lift it but with the army paycheck i wont see it for a few months of saving but i want to atleast level it just for some larger more aggressive tires to tear into some GA mud and i was wonder what my best bet is for a complete level kit...just one kit.. not ordering parts here and parts there...any help will be greatly appreciated.
and yea i know i could have researched this but over seas there isnt alot of time for that lol

just get a levleing kit for up front and youll be fine. ive got the autosprings 2.5" kit and it leveled it just right for me, and it made my 33's fit perfectly.

you buy directly from them on ebay. its just a spacer that will mount on top of your strut. to put it on it on takes three nuts but you have to yank the struts out to get them on but its really easy to put in. hold on and ill show you some pics of before and after i leveled.

as far as problems, the biggest issue is wearing out ball joints faster than usual. i still have the stock ride. and ive had mine on for over 20,000 miles with no issues at all. i would install it myself. it takes like two and a half hours tops and you learn alot about your truck. if you are worried about the ride you could go with bilstiens 5100 leveling shocks, theyll give you a 2 inch level and a better ride from what ive read but theyre higher in price. the autosprings kit is only about 80 bucks shipped to your door for the powdercoated version.yes and no. alot depends on backspacing on the wheels and what not. i didnt want to loose the MPG or pay for the 35's so i stuck with 33's
