2.5 inch leveling kit question

Howdy all,

I just bought a 2.5" leveling kit from NCD Customs for my 2007 SC 4x4.
Has anyone installed this kit before? Anything I should watch out for?

Once I have it installed, I'm assuming I need to get the front end realigned at my local tire shop?

Please let me know your thoughts. I have never done such a thing before.

Thanks
-Ed

I never heard of it. The one most used is 2.5" by Autospring. Yes you need to get a front end alingment usually just the toe need to be adjusted( just a piece of info before hand).

Also never heard of it, 99.9% of people get autospring. You should have looked around on these forums and you would have seen tha autospring was the best, but i dont know enough about your product. It will probably work just fine. Good luck with it. It will look Sweet!

Thanks for the info guys.
http://www.ncdcustoms.com/

I did some looking around on the net and saw a few posts on another forum as well as read some reviews on the company them selves. It pretty much looks like all the rest; other than being black anodized aluminum.

It's supposed to be easy to install like the auto spring kit...we shall see. I'll make sure to take some before and after shots and or me in the recovery room at the local hospital.

Oooh a reason to get some mo`tools!

Hopefully my local tire shop won't charge me an arm and a leg to get the thing realigned. I can't wait to get these on the truck.

I'm glad to hear someone has installed these, I didn't want to be the guinea pig.

Thanks
