I used the Readylift 3" leveling kit in the front and replaced the stock 1" rear block with the readylift 2" block. They told me I could run 35's with this kit.

why in the world is there such a huge difference in price on some of these leveling kits such as the hell bent steel models are $70 while the readyLifts are $230, is there a difference in quality??

I have only a 3" level kit up front and I didn't have to put any blocks in the back or add any leafs and mine sits level my sugestion is that go with the 3" if that's what's you want to do and if it sits to nose high then add a leaf or a block I know with mine if I did that it would sit nose low and that's something I don't want it would defeat the purpose of a "level kit"

Some of it has to do with that fact that you are paying more for the name. Some of it has to do with the quality of the product you are paying for. I am going with a BDS leveling kit which is in between the HBS and Ready lift price.
