Has anyone made a leveling kit?

I'm looking for drawings, measurements, or whatever for making a spring spacer leveling kit. I know I could just buy one but I work in a fab shop and have built a lot of automotive parts. I also enjoy doing it so why not.

My front axles started grinding with my leveling kit installed (2.5") if you make one i would suggest going 2" or less. Took my kit out and the grinding went away instantly.

Was told the 4wd was trying to engage on it's own because of the angle. Either way, truck don't look as good now, but sounds better!

Good luck!

Thanks. I'm starting to see some of the cons of the leveling kits. From what I've read so far the 2" does look like my best option.

I went 2.5", but mine is a 2WD, so I am almost sure I will not have any problems out of the front axles.
