so not to be a pain the ***** but.... I went to the dealership and made an appointment to get my new tires installed 285/70/17 BFG all terrains..finally made my choice... anyway they were telling me how my tires would rub a little which i am aware of and i informed them i was planning on putting on a leveling kit soon after. They then asked me what i was planning on putting on and i informed them a 2.5' kit, thats when the guy started goin off sayin i should only go as much as 2' and no more because its to much stress on ***** joints, a couple other things blah blah blah... i figured he was just BS me so i could buy there $300 leveling kit...which aint happenen cause it sounds like bs but just want to confirm that no one has had any out of the ordinary problems since putting on the leveling kit of 2.5'. Thanks guys... otherwise i will just buy a 2' leveling kit...deffinately not from the dealer though... in the end he said it would be $800.00 after install & everything for the leveling kit.....ya right

i have a 2in one and that was quite a squeeze getting that on...but the 2.5 are fine from everyone ive read i. people even get away with 3in ones and have zero issues...i think it depends on the truck....id go with a 2.5...i have a 2 but when i do my shocks ill be getting a HBS 2.5 for it....and as far as the price of their level kit thats nuts..lol...should be $60-$100 at best and like $150-$200 labor maybe with alignment
