Trailmaster leveling kit install 1997 2wd

Hi everyone my name is Randy. This isnt my first post but i use this website mostly for research and ideas and what not. I really didnt like the look of my truck with the rake and all so i searched and read up on all you guys and your leveling kits. I didnt find anyhting really on the 1997's and the products for this model were limited. I wanted the auto spring but they dont make one for 97's. I found a 2" kit from Trailmaster and decided to man up and go for it. I am extremely happy with the results and the install was very simple and i didnt need a spring compressor like i thought i would. I recommend this kit to anyone who wants to level their truck. I got it from www.autoanything.com and it came in about 6 days. Let me know what you guys think I included pics. Also if you have questions about the install or anyhting dont hesitate to ask.

yea i went to pep boys and they told me they cant align it because thier machine only does factpry specs or something. Whatever. Anyway I checked out their tires and saw some Definity Dakota M/T's in 265/75/r16 for 100 each. Sounds like a good deal and they look awesome but i wont need them until winter. I also bought a 1" rear lift block and added that on today which improved the look a lot. Ill have to call a shop tomorrow to get an alignment.
