I don't think there's any such thing as a leveling kit for 4WD trucks. What you can do is crank up your torsion bars to level your truck. I just did mine a little while ago and haven't got an alignment yet. I'm going to just to be safe but so far nothing weird has happened.

From what I have heard the leveling kit consists of an 18mm deep socket, 1/2 ratchet, and a tape measure. I cranked the torsion bars and leveled my truck out a bit. I couldn't tell you about the alignment, mine was off before I monkeyed around with it.

so, you should def. get your truck aligned after cranking the torsion bars? does this affect your ride quality at all? not that it is like a cadillac now, but i enjoy it.

After cranking the torsion, it seems like some people need alignment, and some dont. I think that if the truck is a little out of alignment, cranking will magnify that problem. I would crank it up and see if it pulls one way or another, if so get it aligned.

The ride will be a little firmer, but not bad. You can always crank the torsion and just keep track of how many turn you do....if you hate it you can go back to that dragster Nova look and lower the front end.
