***Pics Installed Leveling Kit***

I installed a 2.5" kit from Hell Bent Steel. $65 off Ebay. Much better. Now I just need some bigger tires.Tell me what you think.
I swear I think the leveling kit made my ride a little smoother. Any idea why that would happen? Maybe its just in my head.
My biggest surprise was how much it helped my headlights. Almost a night and day difference. I'm not dying for HIDs anymore.
Truck is an 07 2wd with a 5.4 and 3.73 gears.

I felt the same way about "You get what you pay for", but this kit looks to be top notch. Everything bolted up perfectly and I'm satisfied so far with the results.

I like it.. but i think i personally would go with a 3" body lift, instead of a leveling kit.

4x2. Makes me feel good that you have to ask.
Thanks for compliments.

Nimda: I don't really have any reason to lift the whole truck. Not going to be doing any off roading and I'm not looking to put anything bigger than a 33" inch tire under the truck. Thanks for your opinion though.

I'm so happy I did this mod. It's like a completely different truck. Can't wait to wear out the stock tires and put some wheels and all terrains on her.

I have to put that dive flag on there to remind myself that I can. I'm so busy lately that I haven't been able to go. I live on the coast and still can't make time even make a beach dive.
