here is the link to a step by step thread on here. It is very helpful and very easy to do. Just do it yourself and take it in for an alignment once your done. It only took me and a buddy about 1 1/2 hours to do it all from start to finish.

No prob. Hope its enough for you to decide to do it yourself it really is very very simple. The hardest part is breaking the big 1 1/16" nut loose. Other then that very very simple and you will have the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

its up to you what you choose. 2" will have less severe angles, but no body has run into any problems with a 2.5" either. 3" is a big no.

if it was me i would go with a 2.5". then if your sitting nose high add a slightly larger rear block or add a leaf.

if you looked at those links installing the leveling kit is extremely easy. and rear blocks or AAL are extremely easy. it looks more complicated just staring at it than it is if you have never messed with this kind of stuff before. put pictures when your done with install

I am currently running the 2" and love it. So far I have not herd any complaints about either of the two. Just stay away from the 3 its to big.

I just installed the 2.5" this weekend and it was a breeze. I am not very handy when it comes to this stuff but had a buddy come over who rouned up all the tools and it was a peice of cake. The 1-1/16" nut for me was not a problem but taking off the ball joint nut proved to be a challenge on 1 side but with little squaw **** on her she broke loose.
