I will try and make this story short. My truck needed new tires, so I thought why not why level it and put on some new tires. Tried to get the front end apart and everything was rusted together. Order all new lower a-arm bushings and bolts, New lower strut bushings and nuts and bolts. Almost $300 in parts. I emptied two cans of PBlaster on the front end of the truck over 5 days, spraying everything 3-4 times a day. Thank God for a good friend, all the spraying worked, My buddy who did the work used one bushing, one bolt and one nut, I can return a ton of parts and save some money. Here is a before and after, Ill post more pics when I pick the truck up, My before pic has my other baby hooked to the back.....She is fun!!!!! I went to a 2" level in the front, Nitto Terra Graps in a 305/55/20, I will post some more pics when I pick up the truck tomorrow, was out of town for a wedding this weekend.474919_10151643111995134_972737104_o.jpg

Very nice! looks great. That is what i want done on my truck. How much did the leveling kit cost? and how much to install, if you did not do yourself.

Finally finished my truck after 4 days of trying to install a leveling kit. Luckily didn't have to buy all new LCA's, just new strut bushing and bolt. I think a poor design of Mopar not using grease in that bushing. It looks good though.

My buddy did it for me $200. Said it took about 6 hours and he mounted the tires too. The level kit was $50 off eBay. If you plan on doing this I would highly recommend spraying with PBlaster 3-4 times a day for about a week before you try to do this. I'm going to put a 1/8 inch spacer in the front. The tire comes real close to that upper control arm just for a little piece of mind.

Nice. Your rig looks leveled now. And you'll surely like the Terra Grappler's. To me, they are one of the best AT tires out there.
