Default No More Driving Down Hill - Leveling Kit Installed

Got my truck back on Friday after a good amount of maintenance. Pretty excited to show off my leveling kit. It's the HBS 2.5".

Took it to a buddy of mine's shop where he not only replaced those crappy spark plus, but replaced all the ball joints, front axle seals, and added the leveling kit with new springs and Bilstein 1500 shocks. I'm extremely happy with the ride.

I agree! Definitely on the list

Your tires look real good with your 3" leveling kit.

The bilsteins are adjustable, why didn't you just adjust them to two inches for the front level and skip the spacer? Truck looks good!!

I know they are adjustable but I didn't think the shocks themselves do the lift, do they? I thought they just provided different dampening for the lift. Is that wrong?

Yeah the bilsteins are adjustable to lift up the front, but none-the-less, looks great! I just put my 2.5" HBS leveling kit on this weekend as well!

Get an AAL kit. Much better for the extra money. Better payload and no worries of axle warp!
