My next mod will also be a leveling kit... I would also like to know what the best one out on the market is. Will a leveling kit look decent with stock tires and rims? I just dont have the cash to upgrade the rims/tires yet.

Ok, I guess I'll be nice now. The reason nobody has posted in here is because this has been beat to death. Autospring, Daystar, Etc. Etc.

Not trying to be an azz but do a search guys. You will find more info than you ever wanted. I think the best kit, is the one YOU like. They all look good with bigger tires and rims. My advice is to search here, read all the info and then make the decision that makes the most sense to you.

For what its worth I have the Autospring kit, but still havent installed it yet, for reasons that have nothing to do with the kit at all.

Good luck guys.

I have the 2" autospring. I picked it because of the offset design and you dont need a strut compressor to install it. I think my truck looked like crap with the leveling kit and stock wheels and tires. Check out my gallery I have pick of before and after with stock wheels. I wouldnt waste your money on any polished leveling kit because you cant see it anyway once its installed.

I think the "extreme" part of his name has alot to do with his balljoint issues.

I am not going to lie maybe but either way mine are gone at 7k. I got that name in highschool because thats when every thing new coming out had extreme in the name extreme this and extreme that and I did stuff no one else would think to do so we joked about that and it just stuck, I had a mazda 626 then and we treated it like a truck. It was an 01 and a nice one too not a beater, man we jumped that thing, e brake turns, and even took it up a road I would think twice to take my truck up now.

Order the total chaos UCA that come with a uniball joint like they use in baha trucks, keep greased and should take care of any UCA ball joint issue. Just a thought
