After doing some searching on here. Everyone seem to point to Hell bent steel for their leveling kits. I ordered up 2.5'' kit while back. This past weekend I finally installed. It sucked installing it, I really didn't have all proper socket's and end wrenches. I did this by myself so trying to reconnect the knuckle to upper A-arm was fun. All and all it wasn't bad, just time consuming. I do love how my truck looks now.

I have 275-65-18

It go faster for you then. It will help to have all tools you need layed out.

I also before starting, pressure washed my front end to get all the crap off.

Also if you haven't already lock tight the bolts you take loose.

Read and reread the instructions.

Man, your truck looks identical to my 2008! I installed the front 2" leveling kit a couple of weeks ago. Took me about 3-4 hours using hand tools. I did have to go and purchase a sledge hammer to detach the control arm, but overall an easy installation.

The ODD thing is that the 2" front lift actually lowered my rear by about 1". So this past weekend, I replaced the 2" rear blocks with 3" - looks really nice now. The block installation took me about 3 hours. The rear axle moved some while I had it jacked up, which made the realignment quite fun. The blocks have 2 pins you gotta line up.

I also had to re-adjust the headlights - just one adjustment screw at the top of the assembly.
