I wouldn't say off balance but it definitely changes the pitch angle

here you go. since this was taken, i added some bushwacker flares as well. no issues that i can feel in 4wd. but then again, i only use 4wd when i need it. i don't drive with it on all the time.

That looks awesome Blk11crew, how hard was the install because the instructions look scary to me. Also, I hated the stock wheels when I bought mine (same as yours) but with the lift and gnarly tires they look pretty good for factory. Any rubbing issues running a 35" tire?

I am thinking of doing a 2.5 as well...as i had put a 2.5 on my 06 and had no vibration....I used the top gunz custom one.....it just sat on top of the strut....so i guess going that route it shoud just be like a body lift right.....not really affecting the drive angles if you are just putting a spacer on the top of the strut the suspension angle really wont change right the body of the truck just lifts up.....I had no problems with it on my 06 and I was running the nitto mud grapplers 20x12.50x35....with a spacer.....still had no vibes.....so I think I will try them again for my 2011 level.....just some info for all to ingest.....

It's not like a body lift as it pushes the spindle and axleshaft away from the frame causing the change of the angle

I have a 2011 4x4 only use 4wd for winter weather so far, but i am looking at the HBS level kit as well. If i go that way should i have anything else done for the level other than the kit, new struts? or should i expect to have to change or have any problems with cv joints ect after so many miles? I just dont want to get it leveled and then spend money and time fixing things that go wrong because of the level! plus i am a little bit of a puss when it comes to crap i dont know a whole lot about!
