Finally leveled

Well I bought the Bilstein 5100 leveling kit from TopGunCustomz in August, I installed the rear shocks shortly after, never got around to having the struts installed, but I just got ball joints and my mechanic couldn't do the work so I had the dealer install the struts since it needed aligned. First problem was the guy installed my struts at the 0" lift setting... So I complained and we re-scheduled for today to have it corrected for free, and I paid for the alignment and tipped the service manager. They charged me $184 for the strut install, All in all, my truck is finally level out all around.

Sucks about having to wait but your truck looks good. I too just had mine installed and just by getting rid of the factory rake it makes our body style trucks look alot better leveled !

Yeah man, if that $900 ball joint deal didn't hit me I would have been able to get my wheels & tires but I dont think that will be happening until April now.

Some 33's would look good and you don't have to worry about any rubbing issues that a 35 might create for you.

Exactly. Plus I think 35s on leveled trucks looks like too much tire. 35s belong on 6" lifts. I want the best economy I can get also, which is why I'm not going any wider than a 285 tire. I'm planning black pro comps with 285/65/18 BFG A/T KOs.
