I finally got my billsteins installed took me about 4 hours to do in my garage by myself. I have them set at 2.8" and it has leveled the truck pretty good I measured front and back at 39 3/4" ground to bottom of fender all the way around. I have a set of 17" KMC rockstars and 35/12.5 nitto trail grapplers coming they sould be here by the end of the week. I need an aliment but I'll get that when I get the wheels and tires installed. Here are some pics. I'll update this tread with more pics once the wheels and tire get here.

Sweet! How was the install? I've been looking at either a leveling kit or the bilstiens. Doable in a home garage?

Exactly how rams should come :naughty:

My thoughts exactly

It wasn't too bad the hard part was getting to springs compressed enough to put the strut in. I did mine in my home garage with basic tools and a $40 amazon spring compressor.

This is why I recommend bilsteins
1) they level your truck
2) you improve upon your stock shocks
3) if you ever want to go higher, it's stackable

Overall it's slight more than a level kit. If you can install it yourself, it's the better way to go IMO

If you need pricing, send me a PM

Thanks. It's going to be a fall project for me. I think I can do the install, I've never used a spring compressor but seen it done many times. I put coilover on my wife's car and my "fun" car so I think I could handle it.

Love it. Looking forward to the pics w/ your camera. I'd love to see how these look from the back/front. (I.e. how far do the tires stick out past the fenders, etc.)
