So i got my parts today. There are pros and cons to this package. 2WD 2.5" lift/level kit approximately $385 shipped.
As you all know or not lol. I was running a 3" spacer with stock length shocks prior to having issues. Ride was bumpy as hell and i would go over railroad tracks and the truck would be bouncing around like a low rider. I used shock extenders when i bought it and it was a big NoNo due to the coil bucket and UPper control arm contact. So after spending time and money i finally broke my shock and decided to so this upgrade.
The shock is +1" approximately over stock which created the the stupid bucket and UCA contact again. But i found a solution to this problem which seems to have worked. I put 1/2" plates on the bottum of where the lower area of the shock bolts on to extend the distance. I will be buying 2" bolts probably at homedepot and installing a plate of 3/4" to 1" thick to remove the UCA and bucket impact. It barely hits when i hit a hard bump. I don't feel like sending them back for a stock length onces. My truck is a single cab and i got about a 3" raise on the front end. If it was a quad cab i would have gotten 2.5" due to the vehiclrs weight.
Overall the installs is pretty easy. I had an extra hand to putting things back tigether was quick.
If it wasn't for the bucket and UCA impact (minimal) this package is perfect. The ride is super smooth again. I would say even better than stock. With the 33 mus terrains. I do not recomend anyone using spacers. Coils are the perfect! For a leveling kit. Anywho if you guys have quesions let me know. I'll post 2 pics. 1 is of the brocken oem shock.
