Thumbs up Leveled Out!!! (PICS ATTACHED!)

Well gang, I cranked by TBs today to level the truck, and I absolutely could NOT be happier with the results! I got about 1 5/8" lift out of it, and that was all I needed to get it perfectly level all around. As you can see from the before and after pics, the truck has quite a bit more aggressive look to it. Now all I need is tires, but I'll never make up my mind on that one.

Here ya go...no need to label which one is the before pic and which one is the after pic.

The 04 trucks don't have torsion bars. Unless it's a 4x4 Heritage Edition, which looks like the 97-03 trucks.

You have to buy a leveling kit for 04 and up new body style trucks.

struts & springs. Much smoother ride, but the best way to level them is to buy the costly Bilsteins that level it and keep that smooth ride still. Its worth it though, I need the Bilsteins, badly..
