a how to for installing a leveling kit?

So, i've searched for a DIY install leveling kit and can't seem to find one. Any suggestions? I have got to install it before friday, because that is when my new tires and wheels get put on. Just would like some user feedback on how to.

I just finished installing the autospring 2.5 inch leveling kit.

www.autospringscorp.com

While it came with instructions, the write up on this site was much more helpful. It is a very easy install, and this was my first "real" work on my truck besides simple maintenance. Good luck.

the 2.5" leveling kit will put your front end prob slightly higher than your back or completely level, on my '06 itwas a tad higher than my back with my 2.5" but I wanted a little rake so I added a leaf spring to the rear. Those tire will put it up a little more but arnt really a true 33" there something like 32.7" so you could go with a 325/60-18 which is about 33.2". Or if your running stock wheels or certain aftermarket wheels you can look at 325/65-18= 34.7" but will require some trimming.
