HBS leveling kit installed and more

[GlOcKnRaM]

Well I have been pretty busy today and am here to show you the end results! As many of you know I purchased a 2.5 inch leveling kit from HBS, and me and my buddy installed it today. It took us right at 4 hours, just because we were not in any rush. Install was pretty simple once we got going. To the hesitant ones out there worried about the ride change with a leveling kit I am here to reassure you there is no change in stock ride. I even got a free alignment from a friend of my Dads and the leveling kit only cost me a case of beer for me and my buddy lol. I know its time for bigger tires but first I am going to install a RCX 1.25 body lift, to fit true 35x12.50 with 20x9 aftermarket wheels with less back space. I also put on AVS in-channel rain deflectors and a Smitybilt receiver hitch shackle with a 3/4 ton shackle. Anyways on to the pics! Hope you like them!

Before
Front:36.25
Rear:39

After
Front:38.50
Rear:39.25

Still a little rake, but will be great for towing or hauling. Im very happy with how it came out! Thanks to all on here who helped with advice, great site to be a part of.

Look good that is what I did, well I went with the Bilstien leveling shock but I just can't wait to put some bigger tires on when the shock tires go.

Thanks guy, I cant stop looking at it haha..I know what you mean about cant wait to put on bigger tires. More than likely Ill be installing the body lift next month, then getting some new tires and wheels!

Looks great, but just want to make sure... Did you mean aftermarket wheels with less backspacing?

Sweet. Diggin the tow shackle in the receiver. Gotta get me one of them.

Looks great! Now I know pretty much what mine will look like! I got the HBS 2" level for mine but I'm not putting it on until next weekend because I couldn't get an alignment until the 4th of Sept. Ugh. The wait is killing me...

Oh ok I got ya..yeah I like the look now. But yeah the alignment is important! You doing the install yourself?

Nice. I think I might take off my leveling kit.
The guys had issues aligning it, and they had to way over compensate and my steering wheel still isn't straight. It drives me nuts.
