was considering the leveling kit but would like any input and opinions about the benefits if any and issues. the only real benefit is compensating for the weight of a plow or similar front-end weight - ie. heavy steel bumper and winch... the fact that the truck sits level when empty is an issue of asthetics and defeats the purpose of allowing the truck to sit level when loaded down with cargo... levelled trucks that are hauling a good-sized load of something usually exhibit handling problems as the nose is now sticking in the air. bear in mind i use this truck as my daily driver and for plowing when needed. if you dont haul anything heavy often and want to compensate for excessive droop when a plows attached then sure a couple of coil spacers will do the trick for you. make sure you use a good-quality set daystar makes good spacers and not some cheap no-name knockoff thats going to fall apart in a couple of years. .

mostly as tom mentioned....for asthetics...than anything else. i didnt even consider it making a difference when the plow is mounted...which would be nice. i myself carry 500 lbs in the bed but with bags of sand wedged in between a cargo bar and the tailgate. im currently looking at a different method of ballast weight since im tired of messing with the bags when they freeze since they have gotten damp over the years. btw thanks tom for the input. -- ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ice angels 2500 qc 4x4 gasser was considering the leveling kit but would like any input and opinions about the benefits if any and issues. bear in mind i use this truck as my daily driver and for plowing when needed. are you doing it to compensate for the plow if so you might try putting weight behind the rear wheels. i used concrete formed so it fits behind the wheel wellswider and in front of the tailgate. weighs about 950 lbs. ans doesnt shift much. used 2x6 to shim all around. roy ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ice angels .
