Leveling kit! Which one to buy?

[GlOcKnRaM]

Ok guys/girls I am in need of some help! Im looking at a leveling kit for my 2012. Either pro comp or hell bent steel. Just hell bent is so much cheaper but are they a good product? Thanks in advance...

Hell bent is good quality. My rough country level kit showed up today so haven't installed it yet

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Thanks yeah I was thinking rough country too but hellbent is like $50 cheaper. Not to worried about the money but if I go with hellbent I want good quality.

Hell bent would level just the front. Rough country will level/lift front and the rear alittle. I like some rake but depends if you do or not

Im pretty shure hellbent is a supporter of this site. Might have some kinda RF discount to help you decide. More should comment because I know a ton of guys are running the HB level kit on 4G truck. Have not heard a bad word about them either. One guy I think got confused on installation and they had great customer support.

Thanks for the heads up..maybe someone will be along shortly to comment. But so far im leaning towards HBS leveling kit.

you can do a search for HBS kit or something like that to find other threads.

I did a little research but just thought I'd ask here as well..HBS it is!

I have a 2" hbs level kit. Yes they are a good product. They are a vendor on here

PM is your best shot.

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Thanks...I did, see they havent been on here in a while must be busy. Probably just end up ordering from their site.

hello there. i too did the research and himmed and hawwed about going the cheaper route. i ended up buying the 2.5" levelling kit from HBS. this gives a more even stance. i installed myself in 2-3 hours. quality was there. i do not have any other experience with other brands but i do recommend HBS. just a thought, they use the same grade steel in there 3500 levelling kit so i think they are pretty tough. Had them on for a month or so with no problems. just get an alignment.
hope this helps

Thanks, that helped out alot. I heard nothing but good things about HBS, so I went with them! I just ordered their 2.5 inch kit today so hopefully Ill have it in about a week! But I plan to get an alignment as well, everyone has said to. Now just to decided on using my stock "20 and just getting a 285 or 305 tire, or getting new wheels and doing a 33 or 35 12.50???

You definitely need an alignment, mine was off by quite a bit. It doesn't really matter too much in my opinion which you go with as a spacer is a spacer. I haven't heard of anyone having any problems with breakage or anything. So just go with whatever is cheapest.

I have the Pro Comp and gotta say the instructions were great with colour photos. I got the lift level so it picked the rear up a bit too.

I got around to installing my rough country leveling kit this weekend. As said, a spacer is a spacer. I had a HBS spacer on a truck couple years ago and everything was fine with it

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Ordered and on they way..how hard is the install? As I dont think I would have the necessary tools. It might save me some hassle to have someone install it.

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Sounds simple enough if I had the tools...but living in a town home and not really having a place nor all the tools to work on it is a downfall. I have a buddy who is a mechanic so maybe he can do it for a discount.

rough country

i got the rough country leveling kit. comes with 2.75 in front and 1 for the rear. easy to install ( i have to mechanical experience and i still did it fine haha) ive had it for a few months now and no issues whatsoever. no wobble so sounds. driven a few thousand miles on it.. nothing. ( i havent even gotten an alignment... i should have.. tires arnt super happy... but no issues) not trying to take you away fro hbs just giving ya info

 

[surfnturf]

You need to get an alignment. Level kits can really throw things off.

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Thanks guys...me and my mechanic buddy are going to do the install at the shop he works at! Only charging me a 12 pack of Bud Light! Not a bad deal considering Ill probably drink some with him afterwards. He can also do alignments there so its a win win!
