Leveling Kit Question

Flowmaster sells a 2.5 leveling kit for $300 which includes their shocks... Do I need new shocks to go with the leveling kit or can I do without?

I have the Autospring 2.5" kit on mine and wasn't required to add new shocks with the install. Been on there for about 9 months now and absolutely no problems.

Same here...used factory shocks, no problems at all!! Keep looking, i think you can find a leveling kit for less than that.

many good ones to choose from on Ebay. Topguns (or TopGunz - not sure of spelling) is the SAME as the Autospring everyone raves about. I boight mine from them. you WILL need an alignment for toe in/out after install. Cost fofr this is about 50-70. You can install youself if you have some mechanical ability/tools/time,etc. Or install can run between $150-$300 depoensing on where you take it and you local market. My install was $150 which ALSO included additional rear leaf spring install. But I got a deal b/c the local shop was opena nd we were having a Blizzard - hence they had no ogther customers and would rather take some revenue than no revenue....
