Cool Leveling kit!

Ordered a 3" leveling kit from Hell Bent yesterday!!

Cant wait to install and get my new tires.
I am going to put Firestone Destination M/T's on.

3" is a little to much, watch your ball joints and cv's if your 4wd, if you use 4wd you might run into binding.

post pics once you get everything installed.

You will definitely be happy. I went with the 2.5 AS kit in the front, with a 33'' tire, what size tires you going to run? Different rims?

When I got my 2" as level kit installed I had to buy 2 new eccentric cam bolts so that the camber could be aligned correctly. The factory chasis only allows for very minimal adjustment, so in order to get it perfect, they had to use these eccentric bolts. They kinda screwed me on the price at $90 each but they drove an hour to get them and installed them for free, so overall not to bad. I dont know if others had this issue or not, mine was on a 2008 2wd reg cab.

post some pics when done. Plan to do a level kit myself, but want to see if the 2 or the 2 1/2 are better.

Right now only running some 18's off a FX2 with stock tires, but that front end is getting irritating to look at...lol!!!

The 04 and some 05' 4x4's had a lot of factory rake in the front that required a 2 1/2" kit in the front. The later ones look great with only a 2".

not to poke in your business, but you might wait a few miles before you spend a bunch on that alignment. i have had an HBS 2.5 on my 06 for over a year now and have not had it aligned. every time i get my tires rotated at discount tire, i have the guy give it a look and he says my tires are wearing fine and i can't notice a difference in ride. just a thought.
