    If you installed just the shackle portion of the kit it would level your truck but if you added the coils up front it would put you back to square 1 just a couple inches lower. I'd suggest going with just a pair of shackles like Bluejay said.

    A drop kit is nice: but would this level it out?

    I need to worry about installation too... how much does installation run for such a thing?

    I am interested but I have custom tuning priorities ahead of me at the moment I'm afraid

    Paid just over $600 for the kit on ebay. The guy is still selling it all separately which is how I bought it. You just need the leafs and coils, front struts and rear shocks. Is your ruck 2wd or 4? I have a brand new H&R kit that consists of 2" drop coils and 1 1/2"-2" drop rear shackles. I have it it listed in the classifieds for like $225 or something which is a great price. let me know if you want it. If your truck is 4wd then you can take the rear blocks out too to get it level.

    Well I do have the 23" Saleens installed on mine; perhaps this would be a great solution for me too! Cost?

    Thanks for the compliments...My truck IS level but it's not leveled. I have a Saleen sport truck spuspension drop on it which nets me about 2-3" drop in the frot and 4-5" in the rear. It's an FX4 and it has 33.3" tires so it sits higher than most lowered trucks.

    Love the truck man, awesome. Can I ask what levelling kit you have on there? I have plans to level mine out too. Lowered at the rear with shackles is my cheapest option; was wondering if this is what you did.

    Thanks!
