Default one last question on leveling kits

alright this is the last time i'm going to ask yall anything about leveling kits casue i'm sure i'm probably pissin some of yall off about askin so much.

those of you who have done the leveling kits on your trucks does the ride quality change for better or worse or does it stay the same? i know all the different products i have read about says it doesn't change, i just dont know if i can believe them.

thanks for the help fellas

I had an AS 2.5" kit on my truck prior to adding a full suspension lift, never noticed any difference in ride quality at all. As already mentioned $400 is wayyyyyyyyyy too much to be spending on a leveling kit. Get yourself an autospring kit, great quality, what most guys & gals are running on their trucks and will save you over $300.

I did the 3" in the front and the1 1/2" in the back for about $250 with an alignment ( I installed it myself) and have not noticed a difference in ride quality. Mine was from Fat Bob's. Good luck!
